Engineers, medical doctors, health professionals, and neuroscientists, and computer and information scientists explore applications of information systems, artificial intelligence, signal processing, electronics, and other engineering tools to cognitive neuroscience, which investigate the neural mechanics of mental processes. Among their topics are motion control of omni-directional walker for walking support, cross-modal interactions in visual competition, the effects of the fixation cue in inhibition of return, self-body recognition and its impairment, language processing in the human brain of literate and illiterate subjects, evaluating olfactory impairment in Parkinson's disease using near-infrared spectroscopy, neural mechanisms of audiovisual integration in integrated processing for verbal perception and spatial factors, and speed-accuracy tradeoff models of target-based and trajectory-based movements.
