Ecstasy (MDMA) and memory function: a meta-analytic update
(2007)A meta-analysis was conducted to examine the impact of recreational ecstasy use on short-term memory (STM), long-term memory (LTM), verbal and visual memory. We located 26 studies containing memory data for ecstasy and ... -
A Phase I Trial of Radioimmunotherapy with 131I-A5B7 Anti-CEA Antibody in Combination with Combretastatin-A4-Phosphate in Advanced Gastrointestinal Carcinomas
(2009)Purpose: In preclinical models, radioimmunotherapy with 131I-A5B7 anti–carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) antibody (131I-A5B7) combined with the vascular disruptive agent combretastatin-A4-phosphate (CA4P) produced cures unlike ... -
A 100 kpc inverse Compton x-ray halo around 4C 60.07 at z = 3.79
(2009)We analyze a 100 ks Chandra observation of the powerful radio galaxy, 4C 60.07 at z = 3.79. We identify extended X-ray emission with L X ~ 1045 erg s–1 across a ~90 kpc region around the radio galaxy. The energetics of ... -
An Association between Residual Renal Function and Depression Symptoms in Haemodialysis Patients
(2009)Background: The loss of residual renal function (RRF) and subsequent urine volume among haemodialysis (HD) patients may influence affect. Although RRF has been associated with improved patient outcome, its relationship ... -
The Narrative Intelligence Hypothesis: In Search of the Transactional Format of Narratives in Humans and Other Social Animals
(2001)This article discusses narrative intelligence in the context of the evolution of primate (social) intelligence, and with respect to the particular cognitive limits that constrain the development of human social networks ... -
Interactional Structure Applied to the Identification and Interpretation of Visual Interactive Behaviour : Robots that (Usually) Follow the Rules
(2001)This chapter outlines the application of interactional structures observed by various researchers to the development of artificial interactive agents. The original work from which these structures are drawn has been carried ... -
I could be you : the phenomenological dimension of social understanding
(1997)This paper discusses the phenomenological dimension of social understanding. The author's general hypothesis is that complex forms of social understanding that biological agents especially humans show are based on two ... -

The origins of narrative: In search of the transactional format of narratives in humans and other social animals
(2002)This article presents work in progress towards a better understanding of the origins of narrative. Assuming an evolutionary and developmental continuity of mental experiences, we propose a grounding of human narrative ... -

The frequency of low-mass exoplanets
(2009)We report first results from the Anglo-Australian Telescope Rocky Planet Search—an intensive, high-precision Doppler planet search targeting low-mass exoplanets in contiguous 48 night observing blocks. On this run, we ... -
Socially Intelligent Agents in Human Primate Culture
(Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 2004)This chapter discusses socially intelligent agents (SIA) in the context of human culture. The first part of the chapter provides an introduction to SIA research and focuses on the issue of realism versus believability— ... -
Evaluation of Robot Imitation Attempts: Comparison of the System’s and the Human’s Perspectives
(ACM Press, 2006)Imitation is a powerful learning tool when humans and robots bots interact in a social context. A series of experimental runs and a small pilot user study were conducted to evaluate the performance of a system designed for ... -
Stories of Lemurs and Robots-The Social Origin of Story-Telling
(John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2003)This chapter discusses narrative intelligence in the context of the origins of primate (social) intelligence. The relationship between social intelligence and narrative intelligence is outlined, with a particular emphasis ... -
Towards Interactive Robots in Autism Therapy: Background, Motivation and Challenges
(2004)This article discusses the potential of using interactive environments in autism therapy.We specifically address issues relevant to the Aurora project, which studies the possible role of autonomous, mobile robots as ... -
The Correspondence Problem
(MIT Press, 2002)The identification of any form of social learning, imitation, copying or mimicry presupposes a notion of correspondence between two autonomous agents. Judging whether a behaviour has been transmitted socially requires the ... -
The Agent-Based Perspective on Imitation
(MIT Press, 2002)This chapter presents the agent-based perspective on imitation. In this perspective, imitation is best considered as the behaviour of an autonomous agent in relation to its environment, including other autonomous agents. ... -
Two-level branch prediction using neural networks
(2003)Dynamic branch prediction in high-performance processors is a specific instance of a general time series prediction problem that occurs in many areas of science. Most branch prediction research focuses on two-level adaptive ... -
The normativity of action
(2006)The concept of action is playing an increasingly prominent role in attempts to explain how subjects can represent the world. The idea is that at least some of the role traditionally assigned to internal representations ...
