MEDIATIZATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE CONCEPT IN THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE MEDIA DISCOURSE: CORPUS-BASED APPROACH by Elena Yu. Ilyinova, Larisa A. Kochetova

“…Based on corpus-assisted discourse analysis, the paper studies the mediatization of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in the Russian-language media discourse as a construe technique that shapes AI perception and evaluation as a concept of new social reality. The paper reveals linguistic portraying of the AI concept in Russian digital media corpus, construed by business-oriented outlets Kommersant, Vedomosti, RBC, and popular media resources, such as Lenta.ru, Argumenty i Fakty, Komsomolskaya Pravda. …”

Multimodal MRI analysis of microstructural and functional connectivity brain changes following systematic audio-visual training in a virtual environment by Kholoud Alwashmi, Fiona Rowe, Georg Meyer

“…Therefore, behavioural performance change is likely to be the result of microstructural, functional activation, and connectivity changes in extended neural networks.Here we show for the first time that learning-induced microstructural change in WM tracts, quantified with diffusion tensor and kurtosis imaging (DTI, DKI) is linked to functional connectivity changes in brain areas that use these tracts to communicate.Twenty healthy participants engaged in a month of virtual reality (VR) systematic audiovisual (AV) training. …”

Facial expression recognition through muscle synergies and estimation of facial keypoint displacements through a skin-musculoskeletal model using facial sEMG signals by Lun Shu, Victor R. Barradas, Zixuan Qin, Yasuharu Koike

“…We propose that the identified muscle synergies could be used in combination with the SMSM-LRM model to generate motor commands and trajectories for desired facial displacements, potentially enabling the generation of more natural facial expressions in social robotics and virtual reality.…”
