Environmental wireless sensor network (EWSN) systems are deployed in potentially harsh and remote environments where inevitable node communication failures must be tolerated. LUSTER---Light Under Shrub Thicket for Research---is a system that meets the challenges of EWSNs using hierarchical architecture includes distributed reliable storage, delay-tolerant networking, deployment time validation techniques.
Distributed sensor networks are quickly gaining recognition as viable embedded computing platforms. Current techniques for programming cumbersome, inflexible, and low-level. We introduce EnviroTrack, an object-based distributed middleware system that raises the level of abstraction by providing a convenient powerful interface to application developer geared towards tracking physical environment. EnviroTrack is novel in its seamless integration objects live time space into computational...
Recent research suggests that facial mimicry underlies accurate interpretation of subtle expressions. In three experiments, we manipulated and tested its role in judgments the genuineness true false smiles. Experiment 1 used EMG to show a new mouthguard technique for blocking modifies both amount time course reactions. Experiments 2 3, participants rated smiles either while wearing mouthguards or when allowed freely mimic with without additional distraction, namely holding squeeze ball...
Recent work (Rychlowska et al., 2015) demonstrated the power of a relatively new cultural dimension, historical heterogeneity, in predicting differences endorsement emotion expression norms. Historical heterogeneity describes number source countries that have contributed to country's present-day population over last 500 years. People cultures originating from large may historically benefited greater and clearer emotional expressivity, because they lacked common language well-established...
Recent work has identified the physical features of smiles that accomplish three tasks fundamental to human social living: rewarding behavior, establishing and managing affiliative bonds, negotiating status. The current extends functional account laughter. Participants (N = 762) rated degree which reward, affiliation, or dominance (between-subjects) was conveyed by 400 laughter samples acquired from a commercial sound effects website. Inclusion fourth rating dimension, spontaneity, allowed...
Recent findings demonstrate that heterogeneity of long-history migration predicts present-day emotion behaviors and norms. Residents countries characterized by high ancestral diversity display expressions are easier to decode observers, endorse norms higher expressivity, smile more in response certain stimuli than residents lack diversity. We build on the extant investigate historical as a predictor daily smiling, laughter, positive across world's states United States. Study 1 finds is...
This paper deals with a new medical information system called Alarm Net designed for smart healthcare. Based on an advanced Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), it specifically targets assisted-living residents and others who may benefit from continuous remote health monitoring. We present the advantages, objectives, status of built at Department Computer Science UVA. Early results prototype suggest strong potential WSNs to open research perspectives ad hoc deployment multi-modal sensors improved...
The ability of patients with unilateral facial paralysis to recognize and appropriately judge expressions remains underexplored.To test the effects on recognition judgments about emotion evaluate asymmetry mimicry.Patients left or right at a university plastic surgery unit completed 2 computer tasks involving video expression recognition. Side was used as between-participant factor. Facial function symmetry were verified electronically eFACE scale.Across tasks, short videos shown which...
Although the configurations of facial muscles that humans perceive vary continuously, we often represent emotions as categories. This suggests that, in other domains categorical perception such speech and color perception, become attuned to features emotion cues map onto meaningful thresholds for these signals given their environments. However, little is known about learning processes underlying representation salient social signals. In Experiment 1 test role statistical distributions...
Abstract Laughter is ubiquitous, universal, and variable. This article develops a social functional account to explain the many physical forms laughter takes contexts in which it occurs. In contrast previous perspectives that emphasize internal state of producer or eliciting context, current distinguishes according behavioral intentions conveys response elicits recipient. The general function human nonhuman signal harmless intentions, within this function, we identify 3 distinct tasks...
People’s emotional states often become more similar after social interactions, a process known as emotion contagion. Emotion contagion is considered both by-product of shared goals and tool for strengthening bonds. Although cross-sectional evidence suggests positively related to bond strength, few studies have investigated this relationship longitudinally people acquainted. Perhaps increases closer (a within-dyad effect), reflecting closeness. Or perhaps some dyads stable mutual liking...
