Recognizing human emotional states from body movement
… of responding to expressive human gestures and movements can significantly change the dynamics of human-computer interaction. This thesis addresses the problem of the creation of a computer model capable of automatically discerning emotion using various motion-related features of the human body. …

Light Dance : light and the nature of body movement
Light Dance is a conscious transfiguration of the body, its movement and the encompassing space; a transposition of matter to light exalted in the dance. This corresponds to the conceptualized spirit of the performer whose body is "consumed" by light. A transposition occurs between the performer …

From head to toe : body movement for human-computer interaction
… can highly benefit from the richness of body movements and postures as an input modality. In recent years, the widespread availability of inertial measurement units and depth sensors led to the development of a plethora of applications for the body in human-computer interaction. However, …

What Regulatory Mode tells us about Body Movement, Assortments and Missed Opportunities.
… assessment orientations determine reactions to body movement, large assortments and missed opportunities. We explore underlying mechanisms, show that effects hold when priming or measuring orientations and when accounting for alternative accounts.

Acoustic chase : designing an interactive audio environment to stimulate human body movement
… its acoustic stimuli on the basis of tracked body movement. In this environment, different states of human and machine action are understood as a balance of power that moves back and forth between the apparatus and the human being. This system is based on spatial sounds that are designed to …

Movement as an indication of musical understanding in preschool children
… children were asked to represent, through movement, their sensitivity to changes in dynamics, timbre, tempi, pitch (register), texture, and articulation. The population was drawn from two classes of three-year-olds and two classes of four-year-olds participating in class music experiences …

Recognizing expressive movement in arm gestures using Hidden Markov Models
Movement is one of the most basic human skills that used for communicating and interacting with the environment. Although we have an intuitive understanding of our gestures, it is hard to explain their quality. One would describe the human gestures as a collection of various actions for performing …

The development of the preterm infant's responsiveness to auditory and tactile social stimuli prior to 40 weeks' postconceptional age
… week from 30 to 34 weeks' postconceptional age. Body movement, eye movement, heart rate, smiles, hand-to-mouth activity, and "avoidance" signals of grimaces, cries, yawns, and tongue protrusions were assessed in response to (a) auditory stimulation in the form of talking, (b) tactile stimulation …

Effects of acute alcohol intoxication on human sensory orientation and postural control
… Even though alcohol effects on balance and eye movement have been studied before we know less about the dose and time dependent effects and how each supportive sense to balance contributes during acute alcohol intoxication. The purpose was to investigate parallel effects of acute alcohol …

The perception of expressive movement in music performance
… empirical methods which address the issue of body movements in music performance. The closest equivalent work is found in studies which adopt "ecological', methods, based on the theoretical approach of J. J. Gibson. Chapters 1 and 2 present this framework together with a review of related …
