Welcome to OpenBU
The Boston University Institutional Repository contains documents and publications authored or co-authored by BU faculty, students, and staff.
OpenBU is an open access repository, which means that the full text of the work deposited here is freely accessible to the world via the web. Access is restricted only in unavoidable instances, for example where publisher copyright restrictions prevail. However over 90% of scholarly publishers worldwide now allow some version of the documents they publish to be made available in a repository such as this.

(2016-12)Human childbirth is distinct in requiring-or at least strongly profiting from-the assistance of a knowledgeable attendant to support the mother during birth. With economic modernization, the role of that attendant is ... -
Lagrangian fibers in Gelfand-Cetlin systems
Motivated by the study of Nishinou-Nohara-Ueda on the Floer thoery of Gelfand-Cetlin systems over complex partial flag manifolds, we provide a complete description of the topology of Gelfand-Cetlin fibers. We prove that ... -
Detecting non-displaceable toric fibers on compact toric manifolds via tropicalizations
We provide a combinatorial way to locate non-displaceable Lagrangian toric fibers on any compact toric manifold. By taking the intersection of certain tropicalizations coming from its moment polytope, one can detect all ... -
Decoding of intended saccade direction in an oculomotor brain-computer interface
(2017-08)OBJECTIVE: To date, invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) research has largely focused on replacing lost limb functions using signals from the hand/arm areas of motor cortex. However, the oculomotor system may be better ... -
Auditory-motor adaptation is reduced in adults who stutter but not in children who stutter
