Technique and application for quantifying dynamic shoulder joint kinematics and glenohumeral joint contact patterns
The shoulder (glenohumeral) joint has the greatest range of motion of all human joints; as a result, it is particularly vulnerable to dislocation and injury. The ability to accurately measure dynamic in-vivo joint kinematics in 6-Degrees-of-Freedom (6-DOF) (translations and rotations) and …

The complexity of joint computation
Joint computation is the ubiquitous scenario in which a computer is presented with not one, but many computational tasks to perform. A fundamental question arises: when can we cleverly combine computations, to perform them with greater efficiency or reliability than by tackling them separately? …

Joint inference in pragmatic reasoning
A number of recent proposals have used techniques from game theory and Bayesian cognitive science to formalize Gricean pragmatic reasoning [29, 28, 36, 51]. In the first part of this work, we discuss several phenomena which pose a challenge to these accounts of pragmatics: M-implicatures [45] and …
