A Wi-Fi Channel State Information (CSI) and Received Signal Strength (RSS) data-set for human presence and movement detection
<p>This data-set consists of antenna-wise received signal strength (RSS) and channel state information (CSI) data. Both types of data have been captured using the <a href="https://dhalperi.github.io/linux-80211n-csitool/">Intel CSI Tools</a>. The RSS data have been used in our paper "Detecting Human Movement from Ambient Wi-Fi Signal Strength".</p> <p>This release extends the README with a data dictionary for the annotations. We hope to add more information about the data acquisition process (e.g., data acquisition protocols).</p>
STOP-IT Human Presence Detector (HPD)
<p>Detecting human movement using WiFi commercial off-the-shelf devices can be effected by exploiting Channel State Information (CSI). CSI is part of the WiFi protocol and models the propagation of a WiFi signal from the transmitter to the receiver, supporting many subcarriers due to the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) principle. Taking profit of the information provided by the CSI it is possible to detect an intruder in a room or even detect the intruder through the wall. The Human Presence Detector (HPD) uses this technology to detect the presence of a human in movement.</p>
Data from: Human presence and infrastructure impact wildlife nocturnality differently across an assemblage of mammalian species
<p>Wildlife species may shift towards more nocturnal behavior in areas of higher human influence, but it is unclear how consistent this shift might be. We investigated how humans impact large mammal diel activities in a heavily recreated protected area and an adjacent university-managed forest in southwest British Columbia, Canada. We used camera trap detections of humans and wildlife, along with data on land-use infrastructure (e.g., recreation trails and restricted-access roads), in Bayesian regression models to investigate impacts of human disturbance on wildlife nocturnality. We found moderate evidence that black bears (<em>Ursus americanus</em>) were more nocturnal in response to human detections (mean posterior estimate = 0.35, 90% credible interval = 0.04 to 0.65), but no other clear relationships between wildlife nocturnality and human detections. However, we found evidence that coyotes (<em>Canis latrans</em>) (estimates = 0.81, 95% CI = 0.46 to 1.17) were more nocturnal and snowshoe hares (<em>Lepus americanus</em>) (estimate = -0.87, 95% CI = -1.29 to -0.46) were less nocturnal in areas of higher trail density. We also found that coyotes (estimate = -0.87, 95% CI = -1.29 to -0.46) and cougars (<em>Puma concolor</em>) (estimate = -1.14, 90% CI = -2.16 to -0.12) were less nocturnal in areas of greater road density. Furthermore, coyotes, black-tailed deer (<em>Odocoileus hemionus</em>), and snowshoe hares were moderately more nocturnal in areas near urban-wildland boundaries (estimates and 90% CIs: coyote = -0.29, -0.55 to -0.04, black-tailed deer = -0.25, -0.45 to -0.04, snowshoe hare = -0.24, -0.46 to -0.01). Our findings imply anthropogenic landscape features may influence medium to large-sized mammal diel activities more than direct human presence. While increased nocturnality may be a promising mechanism for human-wildlife coexistence, shifts in temporal activity can also have negative repercussions for wildlife, warranting further research into the causes and consequences of wildlife responses to increasingly human-dominated landscapes.</p>
"It was recorded on Sunday, morning of the 28th of September as some of the slower runners of the Berlin Marathon made it past Torstrasse near my flat. Iwas out to buy some bread for breakfast, but Iusually bring a camera and my Edirol R-1 recorder whenever Igo out. Since Iwas freshly returned to Berlin Iguess Iwas sensitive to the more antiquated sounds which still survive there, like that of the organ grinder. Iam generally interested in how human beings are replacing the presence of Nature with an artificial environment made entirely by human hands (and thus far more understandable, it is hoped). In this new Human Nature, the sounds of Nature are also Human made. Iwrite about these things, but Ialso use the sounds in my videos and my interactive and generative media work, so generally Iam wandering around building up my archive of media documents for use as material in future works."

Global Human Presence Intensity Dataset (2017)
<h1>Overview</h1> <ul> <li>Understanding global patterns of human presence is crucial for monitoring anthropogenic pressures on ecological integrity, optimizing tourism management, and informing decision-making in various domains. However, existing datasets on human presence are insufficient and primarily limited to local scales.</li> <li>We combined massive geotagged microblogs and multi-covariates to infer the global human presence in 2017 at a fine spatial resolution of 0.01 degrees. Specifically, we proposed a Human Presence Indicator (HPI) to quantify human presence. It categorizes the intensity of human presence at a location in four levels based on year-long statistics of geotagged data. HPI-0, HPI-1, HPI-2, and HPI-3 represent no human presence, occasional human presence, frequent human presence, and sustained human presence, respectively.</li> <li>The model achieved a macro-F1 score of 0.72 on a test set comprising over 1.9 million grids in China and 0.84 on the manually labeled samples available worldwide. Cross-validation with external datasets, including geotagged social media data from X and global human settlement and population data, corroborated the model's effectiveness.</li> </ul> <h1>Data Directory Contents</h1> <p>The complete dataset is organized into four main components, each available as a separate compressed <code>.zip</code> file for download:</p> <ul> <li> <p><strong>Gridded HPI Data:</strong> Contains the primary data product showing global human presence intensity (on a 0-3 scale) at a 0.01-degree resolution in GeoTIFF format.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Covariate Layers:</strong> Contains all 76 predictor variables used for model training, resampled to the same 0.01-degree resolution.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Validation Data:</strong> Contains the manually labeled samples that were used to assess model performance.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Model Files:</strong> Contains the final trained random forest model in <code>.joblib</code> format, ready for use by Python practitioners.</p> </li> </ul> <h1>Citation</h1> <p>Please cite both the dataset and the related article when using these data:</p> <ul> <li>Luo, P., Yi, J., Du, Y., Huang, S., Wang, N., Tu, W., Hu, D., & Wei, H.

Mere presence of co-eater automatically shifts foraging tactics toward "fast and easy" food in humans
Competition for food resources is widespread in nature. The foraging behavior of social animals should thus be adapted to potential food competition. We hypothesized that in the presence of co-foragers, animals would shift their tactics to forage more frequently for smaller food. Because smaller foods are more abundant in nature and allow faster consumption, such tactics should allow animals to consume food more securely against scrounging. We tested whether humans would exhibit such a shift. To prevent subjects from having rivalry, they were instructed to engage in a "taste test" in a laboratory, alone or in pairs. Even though the other subject was merely present and there was no real competition for food, subjects in pairs immediately exhibited a systematic behavioral shift to reaching for smaller food amounts more frequently, which was clearly distinct from their reaching patterns both when eating alone and when simply weighing the same food without eating any. These patterns suggest that behavioral shifts in the presence of others may be built-in tactics in gregarious animals to adapt to potential food competition in social foraging.
