"Until now, we didn't know how what we are looking at guides our decision to cooperate or not..."
A profile of and Q&A with Stuyvesant alumnus Dr. Stephen Grossberg (‘57).
<p>By combining behavioral and wireless eye tracking and neural monitoring, a team of Rice scientists and collaborators studied how pairs of freely moving macaques interacting in a naturalistic setting use visual cues to guide complex, cooperative behavior.</p>
A lifetime of studying science can take you in many directions, you just have to let it.
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterised by motor symptoms such as gait dysfunction and postural instability. Technological tools to continuously monitor outcomes could capture the hour-by-hour symptom fluctuations of PD. Development of such tools is hampered by the lack of labelled datasets from home settings. To this end, we propose REMAP (REal-world Mobility Activities in Parkinson’s disease), a human rater-labelled dataset collected in a home-like setting. It includes people with and without PD doing sit-to-stand transitions and turns in gait. Thes...
