Transfer of heart rate feedback training to reduce heart rate response to laboratory tasks
… skills to stressors not used during HR feedback training. The present study used a multiple baseline, single subject design to examine the transfer of HR feedback training among six individuals. Participants were provided with HR feedback training during the presentation of a videogame, a mental …

Virtual reality based upper extremity stroke rehabilitation system.
… there still exists a strong need for a training platform that would provide whole arm rehabilitation. In order to be practical such a system should ideally be low cost (affordable or inexpensive for a common individual or household) and involve minimal therapist involvement. This …

Effects of reinforcement history for following rules on sensitivity to contingencies of reinforcement
… undergraduate students were presented with four training tasks. Half the subjects were presented with instructions that corresponded with the reinforcement contingencies for these tasks (Accurate Instructions group), while the other half was presented with instructions that did not correspond …

Structural Self-Supervised Objectives for Transformers
… raw data to develop more efficient pre-training objectives and self-supervised tasks that align well with downstream applications. In the first part, we present three alternative objectives to BERT’s Masked Language Modeling (MLM), namely Random Token Substitution (RTS), Cluster-based …

Can high definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) enhance cognitive training and transfer?
The INSIGHT project combines cognitive training with high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) with the goal of enhancing fluid intelligence (Gf) and adaptive problem solving in healthy adults. 129 young to middle-aged subjects completed 20 1hr cognitive training sessions …

Finding Sparse Subnetworks in Self-Supervised Speech Recognition and Speech Synthesis
… our observation that subnetworks pruned for pre-training tasks need merely a slight adjustment to achieve a sizeable performance boost in downstream ASR tasks. We first demonstrate its effectiveness for self-supervised ASR in various low-resource settings. In particular, extensive experiments …

Working memory training and transcranial electrical brain stimulation
Working memory training improves performance on trained and untrained working memory tasks, but there is little consistent evidence that these gains benefit everyday tasks that rely on working memory. Evidence has shown that transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) may be an effective tool for …

Working memory and neuroplasticity in older people: a behavioural and neurofunctional approach
Working memory training (WMT) has been used to promote neuroplasticity in older people and tDCS has been proposed to boost WMT effects. Nevertheless, there is not robust evidence of WMT effectiveness and the few studies assessing the combination of tDCS with WMT used cognitive tasks as endpoints. …
