It is still unclear how spatially associated concepts (e.g., directional expressions, object names, metaphors) shape our cognitive experience. Here, two experiments (N = 156) investigated the mechanisms by which words with either explicit or implicit spatial meaning induce spatial attention shifts. Participants performed a visual target-discrimination task according to response rules that required different degrees of prime and target processing depth. For explicit prime words, we found spatial congruency effects independent of processing depth, while implicit prime words generated congruency effects only when participants had to compute the congruency relationship. These results were robust across different prime-target intervals and imply that spatial connotations alone do not automatically activate spatial attention shifts. Instead, explicit semantic analysis is a prerequisite for conceptual cueing.

Predicting the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) is vital for ensuring the reliability and safety of equipment and components. This study introduces a novel method for predicting RUL that utilizes the Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) to address the problem that Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) do not effectively leverage data channel features and spatial features in residual life prediction. Firstly, Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is applied to convert the data into the frequency domain.

Remaining useful life (RUL) prediction is a cornerstone of Prognostic and Health Management (PHM) for power machinery, playing a crucial role in ensuring the reliability and safety of these critical systems. In recent years, deep learning techniques have shown great promise in RUL prediction, providing more reliable and accurate outcomes. However, existing models often struggle with comprehensive feature extraction, especially in capturing the complex behavior of power machinery, where non-linear degradation patterns arise under varying operational conditions.

Gesture recognition technology based on millimeter-wave radar can recognize and classify user gestures in non-contact scenarios. To address the complexity of data processing with multi-feature inputs in neural networks and the poor recognition performance with single-feature inputs, this paper proposes a gesture recognition algorithm based on esNet ong Short-Term Memory with an ttention Mechanism (RLA). In the aspect of signal processing in RLA, a range-Doppler map is obtained through the extraction of the range and velocity features in the original mmWave radar signal.

In sports training, personalized skill assessment and feedback are crucial for athletes to master complex movements and improve performance. However, existing research on skill transfer predominantly focuses on skill evaluation through video analysis, addressing only a single facet of the multifaceted process required for skill acquisition. Furthermore, in the limited studies that generate expert comments, the learner's skill level is predetermined, and the spatial-temporal information of human movement is often overlooked.

Compared with conventional targets, small objects often face challenges such as smaller size, lower resolution, weaker contrast, and more background interference, making their detection more difficult. To address this issue, this paper proposes an improved small object detection method based on the YOLO11 model-PC-YOLO11s. The core innovation of PC-YOLO11s lies in the optimization of the detection network structure, which includes the following aspects: Firstly, PC-YOLO11s has adjusted the hierarchical structure of the detection network and added a P2 layer specifically for small object detection.
