Capacities of erasure networks
We have investigated, in various multiple senses, the “capacity” of several models of erasure networks. The defining characteristic of a memoryless erasure network is that each channel between any two nodes is an independent erasure channel. The models that we explore differ in the absence or …

Standardisation and automatisation of the diagnosis of patients with disorders of consciousness: a machine learning approach applied to electrophysiological brain and body signals.
… the accuracy of this method: (1) the use of multiple stimulation modalities to include neural correlates of multisensory integration and (2) the analysis of consciousness-mediated modulations of cardiac activity. Our results exceed the current state of knowledge in two dimensions. Clinically, …

Grasping information and collaborating through shape displays
… information, but to engage with it through multiple senses has inspired human computer interaction (HCI) research for decades. Shape displays address this challenge by rendering dynamic physical shapes through computer controlled, actuated surfaces that users can view from different angles …

Connections: Material Time & Place
… accomplished is to make the material react with multiple senses. Obviously materials play a major role in our visual and tactile experience of a place, but how can the other senses be made aware of the surroundings. Each object we touch has a story to tell, perhaps how it was made, or maybe how …

An accessible and multi-sensory web-based approach to Dyslexia screening
Encouraging the use of multiple senses to teach dyslexic children has become common practice in schools and computer-based tests that follow a multi-sensory approach to dyslexia screening have emerged over the past decade. At the present time, there are no statistically valid computer-based tests …

"""Paper Has Been My Ruin"": On the Organization of Polysemous Senses"
… research (Klein & Murphy) has suggested that multiple senses of polysemous words might be represented separately. This thesis examined how these diverse senses might be organized, by using categorization research to examine the problem of polysemy. Categorization paradigms such as …

The relationship between the sense of community and health-related quality of life of female cancer survivors
… As female survivors of cancer are embedded in multiple communities, often within a single day, there is a need to extend current research to better understand how these multiple senses of community may be related to their HRQOL. This has been clearly recognized as an important topic in need of …

The Neural Representation of Polysemy: The Case of Dot-objects
… many concepts have both concrete and abstract senses, for instance "book" can refer to both a physical object (as in "a torn book") and the abstract content (as in "an interesting book"). How is the meaning of such concepts represented in the brain? In this thesis, we address this question in …
