• Visually grounded meaning representations

  Silberer, Carina; Ferrari, Vittorio; Lapata, Mirella (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017)

  In this paper we address the problem of grounding distributional representations of lexical meaning. We introduce a new model which uses stacked autoencoders to learn higher-level representations from textual and visual ...
• Multiple choice neurodynamical model of the uncertain option task

  Insabato, Andrea; Pannunzi, Mario; Deco, Gustavo (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2017)

  The uncertain option task has been recently adopted to investigate the neural systems underlying the decision confidence. Latterly single neurons activity has been recorded in lateral intraparietal cortex of monkeys ...
• Breaking down hierarchies of decision-making in primates

  Hyafil, Alexandre; Moreno-Bote, Rubén (eLife, 2017)

  Possible options in a decision often organize as a hierarchy of subdecisions. A recent study concluded that perceptual processes in primates mimic this hierarchical structure and perform subdecisions in parallel. We argue ...
• Tecnologías para el análisis del contenido musical de archivos sonoros y para la generación de nuevos metadatos

  Herrera Boyer, Perfecto, 1964-; Gómez Gutiérrez, Emilia, 1975- (Asociación Española de Documentación Musical, 2010)

  Hace un par de décadas el conocer, organizar y explotar la información musical contenida en un archivo sonoro solo era posible a partir de un etiquetado manual que requería la intervención humana para anotar, de manera ...
• Comparative analysis of music recordings from western and non-western traditions by automatic tonal feature extraction

  Gómez Gutiérrez, Emilia, 1975- (Ohio State University School of Music, 2008)

• FMOL: toward user-friendly, sophisticated new musical instruments

  Jordà Puig, Sergi (MIT Press, 2002)

  The design of new instruments and controllers for performing live computer music is an exciting field of research that can lead to truly new music-making paradigms. The ever-increasing availability of sensing technologies ...
• A review of automatic rhythm description systems

  Gouyon, Fabien; Dixon, Simon (MIT Press, 2005)

  Rhythm belongs with harmony, melody and timbre as one of the most fundamental aspects of music. Sound by its very nature is temporal, and in its most generic sense, the word \textit{rhythm} is used to refer to all of the ...
• Inferring directed networks using a rank-based connectivity measure

  Leguia, Marc G.; Martínez, Cristina G. B.; Malvestio, Irene; Tauste Campo, Adrià; Rocamora, Rodrigo; Levnajić, Zoran; Andrzejak, Ralph Gregor (American Physical Society, 2019)

  Inferring the topology of a network using the knowledge of the signals of each of the interacting units is key to understanding real-world systems. One way to address this problem is using data- driven methods like ...
• What do your eyes reveal about your foreign language? Reading emotional sentences in a native and foreign language

  Iacozza, Sara; Costa, Albert, 1970-; Duñabeitia, Jon Andoni (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2017)

  Foreign languages are often learned in emotionally neutral academic environments which differ greatly from the familiar context where native languages are acquired. This difference in learning contexts has been argued to ...
• Using a simple neural network to delineate some principles of distributed economic choice

  Balasubramani, Pragathi P.; Moreno Bote, Rubén; Hayden, Benjamin Y. (Frontiers, 2018)

  The brain uses a mixture of distributed and modular organization to perform computations and generate appropriate actions. While the principles under which the brain might perform computations using modular systems have ...
• Causal inference and explaining away in a spiking network

  Moreno Bote, Rubén; Drugowitsch, Jan (Nature Research, 2015)

  While the brain uses spiking neurons for communication, theoretical research on brain computations has mostly focused on non-spiking networks. The nature of spike-based algorithms that achieve complex computations, such ...
• An Effect of bilingualism on the auditory cortex

  Ressel, Volker; Pallier, Christophe; Ventura-Campos, Noelia; Díaz, Begoña; Roessler, Abeba; Ávila, César; Sebastián Gallés, Núria (Society for Neuroscience, 2012)

  Two studies (Golestani et al., 2007; Wong et al., 2008) have reported a positive correlation between the ability to perceive foreign speech sounds and the volume of Heschl's gyrus (HG), the structure that houses the auditory ...
• Consonance processing in the absence of relevant experience: evidence from nonhuman animals

  Toro Soto, Juan Manuel, 1976-; Crespo Bojorque, Paola, 1985- (The Comparative Cognition Society, 2017)

  Consonance is a major feature in harmonic music that has been related to how pleasant a sound is perceived. Consonant chords are defined by simple frequency ratios between their composing tones, whereas dissonant chords ...
• Cognitive performance in healthy older adults relates to spontaneous switching between states of functional connectivity during rest

  Cabral, Joana R. B.; Vidaurre, Diego; Marques, Paulo; Magalhães, Ricardo; Moreira, Pedro Silva; Soares, José Miguel; Deco, Gustavo; Sousa, Nuno; Kringelbach, Morten L. (Nature Research, 2017)

  Growing evidence has shown that brain activity at rest slowly wanders through a repertoire of different states, where whole-brain functional connectivity (FC) temporarily settles into distinct FC patterns. Nevertheless, ...
• La interfaz estructura informativa-prosodia: el rol de la tematicidad jerárquica basado en un modelo empírico

  Domínguez Bajo, Mónica (Sociedad Española para el Procesamiento del Lenguaje Natural (SEPLN), 2019)

  Tesis doctoral en tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones realizada por Mónica Domínguez Bajo en la Universidad Pompeu Fabra bajo la dirección del Dr. Leo Wanner y la Dra. Mireia Farrús Cabecerán. El acto de ...
• Spatial gamut mapping among non-inclusive gamuts

  Bertalmío, Marcelo; Vazquez-Corral, Javier (Elsevier, 2018)

  Gamut mapping transforms the color gamut of an image to that of a target device. Two cases are usually considered: gamut reduction (target gamut smaller than source gamut), and gamut extension (target gamut larger than ...
• Extracting orthogonal subject- and condition-specific signatures from fMRI data using whole-brain effective connectivity

  Pallarés, Vicente; Insabato, Andrea; Sanjuán, Ana; Kühn, Simone; Mantini, Dante; Deco, Gustavo; Gilson, Matthieu (Elsevier, 2018)

  The study of brain communication based on fMRI data is often limited because such measurements are a mixture of session-to-session variability with subject- and condition-related information. Disentangling these contributions ...
• Whole-brain neuronal activity displays crackling noise dynamics

  Ponce-Alvarez, Adrián; Jouary, Adrien; Privat, Martin; Deco, Gustavo; Sumbre, Germán (Elsevier, 2018)

  Previous studies suggest that the brain operates at a critical point in which phases of order and disorder coexist, producing emergent patterned dynamics at all scales and optimizing several brain functions. Here, we ...
• Learning to combine complementary segmentation methods for fetal and 6-month infant brain MRI segmentation

  Piella Fenoy, Gemma; Sanromà, Gerard; Benkarim, Oualid M.; Piella Fenoy, Gemma; Lekadir, Karim; Hahner, Nadine; Eixarch, Elisenda; González Ballester, Miguel Ángel, 1973- (Elsevier, 2018)
