    Deep Learning of Neuromuscular Control for Biomechanical Human Animation

    Deep Learning of Neuromuscular Control For Biomechanical Human Animation Masaki Nakada? and Demetri Terzopoulos Computer Science Department University of California, Los Angeles Abstract. Increasingly complex physics-based models enhance the real- ism of character animation in computer graphics, but they pose difficult motor control challenges. This is especially the case when controlling a biomechanically simulated virtual human with an anatomically real- istic structure that is actuated in a natural manner by a multitude of contractile muscles. Graphics researchers have pursued machine learn- ing approaches to neuromuscular control, but traditional neural network learning methods suffer limitations when applied to complex biomechan- ical models and their associated high-dimensional training datasets. We demonstrate that \deep learning" is a useful approach to training neu- romuscular controllers for biomechanical character animation. In par- ticular, we propose a deep neural network architecture that can effec- tively and efficiently control (online) a dynamic musculoskeletal model of the human neck-head-face complex after having learned (offline) a high-dimensional map relating head orientation changes to neck muscle activations. To our knowledge, this is the first application of deep learn- ing to biomechanical human animation with a muscle-driven model. 1 Introduction The modeling of graphical characters based on human anatomy is becoming increasingly important in the field of computer animation. Progressive fidelity in biomechanical modeling should, in principle, result in more realistic human animation. Given realistic biomechanical models, however, we must confront a variety of difficult motor control problems due to the complexity of human anatomy. In conjunction with the modeling of skeletal muscle [1,2], existing work in biomechanical human modeling has addressed the hand [3,4,5], torso [6,7,8], face [9,10,11], neck [12], etc.

We introduce tiny- graphics.js, a new software library for implementing educational WebGL projects in the classroom. To mitigate the difficulty of creating graphics-enabled websites and online games, we furthermore introduce the Encyclopedia of Code|a world wide web framework that encourages visitors to learn graphics, build educational graphical demos and articles, host them online, and organize them by topic. We provide our own examples that include custom educational games and tutorial articles, which are already being successfully employed to ease our undergraduate graphics students into the course material. Some of our modules expose students to new graphics techniques, while others are prototypes for new modes of online learning, collaboration, and computing. These include our \Active Textbooks" (educational 3D demos or games embedded in literate-programming-like articles).

Canadian Citizen Education: MFA, Gold Medal Award, OCAD University 2017 BIO Annette Mangaard is a Danish born Canadian media artist and filmmaker who has recently completed her Masters in Interdisciplinary Art, Media and Design. Her installation work has been shown around the world including: the Armoury Gallery, Olympic Site in Sydney Australia; Pearson International Airport, Toronto; South-on Sea, Liverpool and Manchester, UK; Universidad Nacional de Río Negro, Patagonia, Argentina; and Whitefish Lake, First Nations, Ontario. Mangaard has completed more then 16 films in more than a decade as an independent filmmaker. Her feature length experimental documentary on photographer Suzy Lake and the history of feminism screened as part of the INTRODUCING SUZY LAKE exhibition October 2014 through March 2015 at the Art Gallery of Ontario. Mangaard was nominated for a Gemini for Best Director of a Documentary for her one hour documentary, GENERAL IDEA: ART, AIDS, AND THE FIN DE SIECLE about the celebrated Canadian artists collective which premiered at Hot Doc’s in Toronto then went on to garner accolades around the world. Mangaard’s one hour documentary KINNGAIT: RIDING LIGHT INTO THE WORLD, about the changing face of the Inuit artists of Cape Dorset premiered at the Art Gallery of Ontario and was invited to Australia for a special screening celebrating Canada Day with the Canadian High Commission. Mangaard’s body of work was presented as a retrospective at the Palais de Glace, Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2009 and at the PAFID, Patagonia, Argentina in 2013. In 1990 Mangaard was invited to present solo screenings of her films at the Pacific Cinematheque in Vancouver, Canada and in 1991 at the Kino Arsenal Cinematheque in Berlin, West Germany.
  • Colour Perception in Autism Spectrum Condition and Williams Syndrome

    Colour Perception in Autism Spectrum Condition and Williams Syndrome

    Colour Perception in Autism Spectrum Condition and Williams Syndrome A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Matthew Benjamin Cranwell Institute of Neuroscience, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Newcastle University September 2016 Abstract Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) and Williams syndrome (WS) are neurodevelopmental conditions associated with socio-communicative deficits. Also, present in both conditions are sensory sensitivities and reactivities. In ASC extreme sensory reactivity/sensitivities in one or more of any sensory domain have recently been recognised as new diagnostic criteria in DSM-V. Whilst in WS there are reported visuo-spatial and auditory atypicalities. There is increasing importance in identifying both the typical and atypical development of sensory processing, as well as establishing condition-specific and condition-general aspects of sensory processing. Traditionally sensory processing has been studied using a cross-sectional design using either psychophysical tasks or behavioural questionnaires. However little work has attempted to link between these different methodologies resulting in a disconnected study of sensory processing in both typical and atypical development. Colour perception is useful domain to study sensory processing because it can be characterised through psychophysical/cognitive tasks and behavioural questionnaires. Colour perception is also relatively understudied in both ASC and WS despite anecdotal reports of behaviour being influenced by colour. The present research aims to investigate colour perception in ASC and WS relative to mental age typically developing (TD) controls using the same participants across a combination of psychophysical (chromatic discrimination - chapter 3), cognitive (chapters 4 and 5, colour preference and naming), questionnaire (chapter 6) and case studies (chapter 7) methodologies to establish a rounded representation of colour perception in ASC and WS through using these mixed methodologies.
