Steering via the image in local, distributed and collaborative settings (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wright, H., & Wood, J. D. Steering via the image in local, distributed and collaborative settings

Computational steering is a valuable mechanism for scientific investigation in which the parameters of a running program can be altered and the results visualized immediately. In a previous paper we put forward an architecture for computational steer... Read More about Steering via the image in local, distributed and collaborative settings.

Attitudes to research in surgical training (Winner) (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Coughlin, P. A., & Chetter, I. Attitudes to research in surgical training (Winner)

Cystic lesions of the pancreas (CLP) are increasingly being recognised due to the wide-spread use of cross-sectional imaging.

Numerical estimation in blind subjects: evidence of the impact of blindness and its following experience (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Castronovo, J. Numerical estimation in blind subjects: evidence of the impact of blindness and its following experience

Vision was for a long time considered as essential in the elaboration of the semantic numerical representation (e.g., Simon, 1999). However, early visual deprivation does not prevent the elaboration of a numerical representation with similar spatial...

Practitioner identity in systemic intervention: Reflections on the promotion of environmental health through Māori community development

In systemic intervention, boundary critique is important. This means explicitly exploring the inclusion, exclusion and marginalization of both people and issues. Most of the practitioner's attention in boundary critique is usually focused on relation...

The econometric analysis of agent-based models in finance: An application (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Li, Y., Donkers, B., & Melenberg, B. The econometric analysis of agent-based models in finance: An application

This paper illustrates how to compare different agent-based models and how to compare an agent-based model with real data. As examples we investigate ARFIMA models, the probability density function, and the spectral density function. We illustrate th...

The role of exploratory action in face encoding (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Liu, C., & Ward, J. The role of exploratory action in face encoding

Research on face recognition has mainly relied on methods where observers are relatively passive viewers of face stimuli. We investigated whether active exploration of 3-D face stimuli could facilitate recognition performance. A yoked design was empl... Read More about The role of exploratory action in face encoding.
