TimeBlink by MJ Mumford Pdf

When Syd Brixton was eleven years old, her identical twin vanished from a park in broad daylight and was never found. Fast forward twenty years. Despite her lingering guilt, Syd has built an idyllic life. She has a great job at a popular pub. A beautiful home. A loving extended family. And best of all, a long-term relationship with a handsome firefighter who wants nothing more than to have children of his own. Then it all comes crashing down. One night outside the pub, Syd’s favorite customer, Morley, is killed in a horrific accident. Moments before he dies, he gives Syd an extraordinary gift: the power to go back in time–and with it, the ability to learn the truth behind her sister’s disappearance all those years ago. But what if the truth is too painful to face? What if Syd would rather focus on saving Morley’s life instead? Even against his wishes? If she makes the wrong choice, she could lose everything ... her home, her family. Her life. All in the blink of an eye.

Dragonfly by MJ Mumford Pdf

Syd Brixton has bigger problems than trying to prove she’s not a terrorist. In the aftermath of Flight 444’s crash, Syd and her fellow time travelers have become the target of an FBI investigation, suspected of orchestrating the disaster they miraculously survived. But the FBI probe is nothing compared to the final blow that shatters Syd's world: her young son, Christopher, is kidnapped and whisked a decade into the past. With the talisman lost during the plane crash and her ability to timeblink gone with it, Syd’s hopes of finding her little boy crumble. In the grips of despair, Syd comes face-to-face with Christopher’s abductor who chillingly reveals that Syd’s past use of the talisman has attracted the wrong kind of attention. Now, along with Christopher's uncertain fate, the very essence of timeblinking is at risk of exploitation, potentially sparking global chaos. Adding to the impossible situation is Syd’s growing affection for Jarett, the Seattle cop she met on the ill-fated flight who wants to help her find Christopher, even as memories of Morley linger in Syd’s heart. Never has she felt more powerless. Will Syd be able to protect her family and stop the catastrophic ripples she unwittingly set in motion? Or will her efforts prove a futile struggle against the natural flow of time? Find out how the past, present, and future collide in Dragonfly, the thrilling conclusion to The Syd Brixton TimeBlink series.

Flight 444 by MJ Mumford Pdf

She accidentally time traveled with a killer. Now, she may never hold her son in her arms again. Syd Brixton can timeblink. So when she and her sister are trapped on a crashing plane, Syd doesn’t hesitate to use the power to transport them both back in time five years. But things get complicated when they arrive in 2019 and discover three strangers have inadvertently hitched a ride, one of them with a dark and deadly past. It wouldn’t be a problem if Syd could timeblink everyone back to the present, back to anywhere but a looming air disaster. Unfortunately, timeblinking doesn’t work like that. It comes with its own set of rules—and those rules make the group’s return to their present just as dangerous as if they had stayed on the doomed plane. Syd has not chosen this date randomly, though. Her son’s father, Morley, is still alive in 2019 and the only person on the planet who can help her get back to where their little boy is waiting. But when two of the passengers go missing—one a known murderer—the entire group’s return to the present is threatened. And now, even Morley may not be able to prevent them from being stuck in the past . . . separated from their loved ones forever.

The Handbook of Multimodal-Multisensor Interfaces, Volume 2 by Sharon Oviatt,Björn Schuller,Philip Cohen,Daniel Sonntag,Gerasimos Potamianos,Antonio Krüger Pdf

The Handbook of Multimodal-Multisensor Interfaces provides the first authoritative resource on what has become the dominant paradigm for new computer interfaces: user input involving new media (speech, multi-touch, hand and body gestures, facial expressions, writing) embedded in multimodal-multisensor interfaces that often include biosignals. This edited collection is written by international experts and pioneers in the field. It provides a textbook, reference, and technology roadmap for professionals working in this and related areas. This second volume of the handbook begins with multimodal signal processing, architectures, and machine learning. It includes recent deep learning approaches for processing multisensorial and multimodal user data and interaction, as well as context-sensitivity. A further highlight is processing of information about users' states and traits, an exciting emerging capability in next-generation user interfaces. These chapters discuss real-time multimodal analysis of emotion and social signals from various modalities, and perception of affective expression by users. Further chapters discuss multimodal processing of cognitive state using behavioral and physiological signals to detect cognitive load, domain expertise, deception, and depression. This collection of chapters provides walk-through examples of system design and processing, information on tools and practical resources for developing and evaluating new systems, and terminology and tutorial support for mastering this rapidly expanding field. In the final section of this volume, experts exchange views on the timely and controversial challenge topic of multimodal deep learning. The discussion focuses on how multimodal-multisensor interfaces are most likely to advance human performance during the next decade.

Neural Computation, Neural Devices, and Neural Prosthesis by Zhi Yang Pdf

In the past decades, interdisciplinary investigations overlapping biology, medicine, information science, and engineering have formed a very exciting and active field that attracts scientists, medical doctors, and engineers with knowledge in different domains. A few examples of such investigations include neural prosthetic implants that aim to improve the quality of life for patients suffering from neurologic disease and injury; brain machine interfaces that sense, analyze, and translate electrical signals from the brain to build closed-loop, biofeedback systems; and fundamental studies of intelligence, cognitive functions, and psychological behaviors correlated to their neurological basis. Although this interdisciplinary area is still in its infancy, it can potentially create some of the most significant impact: treating diseases that are considered untreatable, interpretation and communication of neuron ensembles, or even a revolutionary perception and understanding of life different from philosophical or immaterial approaches. Fortunately, several academic societies recognize the value and impact of this growing field, firmly supporting related research. Such support will drive a booming future in the next twenty or thirty years. Research in this area is frequently project-driven, and the generated knowledge has been scattered in different fields of neuroscience, computation, material and technology, circuits and system, clinical reports, and psychology—the scope considerably across the boundary of traditionally defined disciplines. Neural Computation, Neural Devices, and Neural Prosthesis is intended to assemble such knowledge, from there suggesting a systematic approach guiding future educational and research activities. The targeted audience includes both students and researchers.
