Human Movement Sonification for Motor Skill Learning
Transforming human movement into live sound can be used as a method to enhance motor skill learning via the provision of augmented perceptual feedback. A small but growing number of studies hint at the substantial efficacy of this approach, termed 'movement sonification'. However there has been …

Algorithms for multi-modal human movement and behaviour monitoring
… be used to improve visible light based human tracking systems?” Automated passive tracking of human subjects is an active research area which has been approached in many ways. Typical approaches include the segmentation of the foreground, the location of humans, model initialisation and …

Neuronal Network Oscillations in the Control of Human Movement
… cortical oscillatory activity and the control of human movement. Modulations in motor cortical beta and alpha activity have been consistently implicated in the preparation, execution, and termination of movement. Here, I describe the outcome of four studies designed to further elucidate these …

Modeling Shape, Appearance and Motion for Human Movement Analysis
… Motion are the most important cues for analyzing human movements in visual surveillance. Representation of these visual cues should be rich, invariant and discriminative. We present several approaches to model and integrate them for human detection and segmentation, person identification, and …

Designing a Wearable, Centimeter-Scale Generator Powered by Human Movement
… that con- verts stored pneumatic energy via human movement into electricity intended to recharge a battery. The system design uses human footstrikes to pump air into an on-body pneumatic storage pouch. The released air then drives an axial flux induction generator, producing a maximum open …

Improving human movement sensing with micro models and domain knowledge
Human sensing is concerned with techniques for inferring information about humans from various sensing modalities. Examples of human sensing applications include human activity (or action) recognition, emotion recognition, tracking and localisation, identification, presence and motion detection, …

Human Movement Analysis: Ballistic Dynamics, and Edge Continuity for Pose Estimation
We present two contributions to human movement analysis: (a) a ballistic dynamical model for recognizing movements, and (b) a model for coupling edge continuity with contour matching. We describe a Bayesian approach for visual analysis of ballistic hand movements, namely reaches and strikes. These …

Application of Optimal Control Theory to Human Movement Problems: The Golf Swing
… of optimal control theory to complex human motion problems using simplified models. A three link model of the golf swing was developed identifying the upper torso, the left arm, and the club as the segments. The torques acting on the torso, left shoulder and wrist were identified as …

Tools and methods for the quality assurance of force platforms in human movement analysis
The human movement analysis (HMA) aims to measure the abilities of a subject to stand or to walk. In the field of HMA, tests are daily performed in research laboratories, hospitals and clinics, aiming to diagnose a disease, distinguish between disease entities, monitor the progress of a treatment …

Neural circuitry in motion: Computational modelling of motor cortical dynamics to understand human movement
Movement of the human body arises from a complex interaction between the activity of the nervous system and the biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system. How neurons of the brain and spinal cord produce purposeful, coordinated movements is a fundamental question in neuroscience and motor control …
