Researchers identify factors that explain individuals’ stress while driving Admit it: Daily commutes - those stops, the starts, all that stress - gets on your last nerve. Or is that just me? It might be, according to a new study from the University of Houstons Computational Physiology Lab. UH Professor Ioannis Pavlidis and his team of researchers took a look at why some drivers can stay cool behind the wheel while others keep getting more irked. "We call the phenomenon accelerousal. Arousal b...

Anxious drivers were more exhausted after their drives, according to new research UH Professor of Computational Physiology Ioannis Pavlidis designed research to capture how driving can stress out some drivers, while others remain cool Admit it: Daily commutes – those stops, the starts, all that stress – gets on your last nerve. Or is that just me? It might be, according to a new study from the University of Houston’s Computational Physiology Lab. UH Professor Ioannis Pavlidis and his team...

About The $1 Unistroke Recognizer is a 2-D single-stroke recognizer designed for rapid prototyping of gesture-based user interfaces. In machine learning terms, $1 is an instance-based nearest-neighbor classifier with a 2-D Euclidean distance function, i.e., a geometric template matcher. $1 is a significant extension of the proportional shape matching approach used in SHARK 2, which itself is an adaptation of Tapperts elastic matching approach with zero look-ahead. Despite its...
