while playing the game of charades. The study used charades to investigate the neural basis of gestural communication by having participants act out and interpret predetermined gestures while their brain activity was being recorded inside of an fMRI machine. Data gathered from the fMRI showed that during production of gestures, the putative motor neuron system (pMNS) composed of the premotor, parietal, and posterior mid-temporal cortices was most significantly recruited. However, during the…

FROM HAND TO MOUTH Michael C. Corballis (1) Imagine trying to teach a child to talk without using your hands or any other means of pointing of gesturing. The task would surely be impossible. There can be little doubt that bodily gestures are involved in the development of language, both in the individual and in the species.

On top of requiring the ability to track movementthe KNN classifier and my code needed to be able to handle input from two hands.In order to track movement, each gesture had to be recorded over…

For instance, if I wanted to get ice for our lab, I would point to the icebox, and they understood my action. Furthermore, when I wanted to tell them that there was a mistake in our lab observations, I would point to the mistake in the lab notes…

ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF INDIAN CLASSICAL DANCE The basic block diagram that shows the components for analysis and interpretation of any classical dance is shown in figure 1.This involves the analyzing the following features: body movements, hand gestures, expressions, music, costumes and make-up, instruments used as well as lyrics of song[19]. The information gathered from the analysis of those features will be made as a domain knowledge storage which can be interpreted for various…
