Reproducible Physiological Features in Affective Computing: A Preliminary Analysis on Arousal Modeling
In Affective Computing, a key challenge lies in reliably linking subjective emotional experiences with objective physiological markers. This preliminary study addresses the issue of reproducibility by identifying physiological features from cardiovascular and electrodermal signals that are associated with continuous self-reports of arousal levels. Using the Continuously Annotated Signal of Emotion dataset, we analyzed 164 features extracted from cardiac and electrodermal signals of 30 participa…

Evidence of Physiological Co-Modulation During Human-Animal Interaction: A Systematic Review
This review examines the evidence in the literature for physiological co-modulation during human-animal interaction. The aim of this work is to identify studies that assessed co-modulation via simultaneous measurement of physiological signals in both species, performing quantitative comparisons, and evaluate the consistency of the findings.\\ We searched PubMed, EM-BASE, Scopus, Google Scholar, Animal Studies Repository, and the ''Consensus app'' tool between June and August 2025 (last search: …

Periodically Poled Piezoelectric Lithium Niobate Resonator for Piezoelectric Power Conversion
As the demand for compact and efficient power conversion systems increases, piezoelectric power converters have gained attention for their ability to replace bulky magnetic inductors with acoustic resonators, enabling higher power density and improved efficiency. Achieving optimal converter performance requires resonators with high quality factor ($Q$), strong electromechanical coupling ($k^2$), high power handling capability, and a spurious-free response. Lithium niobate (LN) has emerged as a …

Data Integration Using Multivariate Mode Decomposition for Physiological Sensing with Multiple Millimeter-Wave Radar Systems
This study proposes a multi-radar system for non-contact physiological sensing across arbitrary body orientations. In integrating signals obtained from different radar viewpoints, we adopt a multivariate variational mode decomposition method to extract the common respiratory component. Experiments conducted with six subjects under varying distances and orientations demonstrate that, compared with a single-radar setup, the proposed system reduced the root mean square error of the respiratory int…

What to Ask Next? Probing the Imaginative Reasoning of LLMs with TurtleSoup Puzzles
We investigate the capacity of Large Language Models (LLMs) for imaginative reasoning--the proactive construction, testing, and revision of hypotheses in information-sparse environments. Existing benchmarks, often static or focused on social deduction, fail to capture the dynamic, exploratory nature of this reasoning process. To address this gap, we introduce a comprehensive research framework based on the classic "Turtle Soup" game, integrating a benchmark, an agent, and an evaluation protocol…

Physiological Signal-Driven QoE Optimization for Wireless Virtual Reality Transmission
Abrupt resolution changes in virtual reality (VR) streaming can significantly impair the quality-of-experience (QoE) of users, particularly during transitions from high to low resolutions. Existing QoE models and transmission schemes inadequately address the perceptual impact of these shifts. To bridge this gap, this article proposes, for the first time, an innovative physiological signal-driven QoE modeling and optimization framework that fully leverages users' electroencephalogram (EEG), elec…

Differential Physiological Responses to Proxemic and Facial Threats in Virtual Avatar Interactions
Proxemics, the study of spatial behavior, is fundamental to social interaction and increasingly relevant for virtual reality (VR) applications. While previous research has established that users respond to personal space violations in VR similarly as in real-world settings, phase-specific physiological responses and the modulating effects of facial expressions remain understudied. We investigated physiological and subjective responses to personal space violations by virtual avatars, to understa…
