Differential Analysis of Pseudo Haptic Feedback: Novel Comparative Study of Visual and Auditory Cue Integration for Psychophysical Evaluation
Pseudo-haptics exploit carefully crafted visual or auditory cues to trick the brain into "feeling" forces that are never physically applied, offering a low-cost alternative to traditional haptic hardware. Here, we present a comparative psychophysical study that quantifies how visual and auditory stimuli combine to evoke pseudo-haptic pressure sensations on a commodity tablet. Using a Unity-based Rollball game, participants (n = 4) guided a virtual ball across three textured terrains while their…

Personalized Motion Guidance Framework for Athlete-Centric Coaching
A critical challenge in contemporary sports science lies in filling the gap between group-level insights derived from controlled hypothesis-driven experiments and the real-world need for personalized coaching tailored to individual athletes' unique movement patterns. This study developed a Personalized Motion Guidance Framework (PMGF) to enhance athletic performance by generating individualized motion-refinement guides using generative artificial intelligence techniques. PMGF leverages a vertic…

Det är nu över 10 år sedan dietboksförfattare och influensers påstod att de visste hur man fixade tarmfloran och med det en rad olika hälsoproblem.
Och än idag har vi i princip ingenting konkret från vetenskapen kring tarmfloran och behandling av olika besvär utanför just tarmproblem.

Memory Retrieval and Consolidation in Large Language Models through Function Tokens
The remarkable success of large language models (LLMs) stems from their ability to consolidate vast amounts of knowledge into the memory during pre-training and to retrieve it from the memory during inference, enabling advanced capabilities such as knowledge memorization, instruction-following and reasoning. However, the mechanisms of memory retrieval and consolidation in LLMs remain poorly understood. In this paper, we propose the function token hypothesis to explain the workings of LLMs: Duri…

Holistic Grid-Forming Control for HVDC-Connected Offshore Wind Power Plants to Provide Frequency Response
HVDC-connected offshore wind power plants (OWPPs) are expected to provide inertial response and frequency containment reserve (FCR) to help address the frequency control challenges caused by the growing penetration of power electronics in power systems. Initially dominated by communication-based and grid-following (GFL) control, recent efforts have shifted towards incorporating communication-free and grid-forming (GFM) control into HVDC-OWPP systems to enhance their frequency response capabilit…

Podcast ep 202: "Acting as if" for hoarding disorder
In this episode, I talk about the idea of "acting as if" - taking action before you fully believe you can, and using that to chip away at compulsive hoarding behaviours. I share stories from my own life, including how channelling others’ confidence helped me move through paralysing shyness, and how small steps can help shift thinking around possessions and habits. It’s all about behaving your way to progress, even when your feelings haven’t caught up yet. Listen in to find out more, inclu…

Elastic Energy Storage Mechanism in Hovering Animal Flight: A Discriminative Method Based on Wing Kinematics
Existing research has yet to reach a consensus on whether and how small flying animals utilize elastic energy storage mechanisms to reduce flight energy expenditure, and there is a lack of systematic and universal methods for assessment. To address these gaps, this study proposes a method to evaluate elastic energy storage capacity based on wing kinematic parameters (flapping amplitude and flapping frequency), grounded in the hypothesis that animals tend to minimize flight energy expenditure. B…
