Visual-Oculomotor and Head Movement Strategies in Postural Control
… technology provides the opportunity to track head and eye movements, which reflect both biomechanical adjustments and sensory integration, and may serve as an alternative for evaluating postural stability. This dissertation investigates the use of head and eye movements as markers of postural …

PROSPECTIVE HEAD MOVEMENT CORRECTION FOR HIGH-RESOLUTION MRI USING AN IN-BORE OPTICAL TRACKING SYSTEM
… degradation. To compensate the effects of head motion during data acquisition, an in-bore optical motion tracking system is proposed. The system comprises one or two MR compatible infrared cameras that are fixed on a holder right above and in front of the head coil. The resulting close …

Auditory Displays and Assistive Technologies: the use of head movements by visually impaired individuals and their implementation in binaural interfaces
… auditory virtual reality. It is known that head movements in the presence of sound elicit changes in the acoustical signals which arrive at each ear, and these changes can improve common auditory localisation problems in headphone-based auditory virtual reality, such as front-to-back …

Real-time motion and main magnetic field correction in MR spectroscopy using an EPI volumetric navigator
… necessary. This work demonstrates firstly that head movement causes significant B0 disruption in both single voxel spectroscopy and spectroscopic imaging.

Reticular Pathways Controlling Lateral Head Movements in the Rat
… (PRF) lesions in the rat abolish certain head movements, it was decided to further characterize the effects of PRF lesions on head movements in the rat and to begin to determine what output pathways from the PRF might mediate its role in head movement control.

Universals of reflexives
… reflexives involve local successive cyclic head movement.

Split noun phrases and the theory of case
… I argue that Case is a feature of the nominal head of a DP. Extraction of the nominal head by quantitative en creates a DP remnant which is incapable of checking Case, since it lacks the necessary feature. Genitive en does not extract the nominal head, and its remnant contains a Case feature. I …

It Takes Two: a Study of Meaning Negotiation and Multimodal Communication in Collaborative Gaming
… multimodal interaction resources such as speech, movement, and gesture mediate negotiation for meaning during collaborative gaming among second language learners. It also investigates the production of language-related episodes by second-language learners. This qualitative study examines …

Genetic dissection of circuits underlying the modular structure of the Superior Colliculus
… environment, animals need to produce accurate movements towards specific positions in space. A crucial region of the brain that guides such goal-oriented movements is the superior colliculus (SC), an evolutionary conserved structure of the midbrain. While several lines of research in different …

Binaural Hearing Effects of Mapping Microphone Array's Responses to a Listener's Head-Related Transfer Functions
… match the characteristics of a human subject’s Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF). The mapping of the response is first explored with a ‘monaural HRTF matching’ that filters the response independent of the arrival angles. For arbitrary array geometry with the listener external to the …

Incremental adaptation to yaw head movements during 30 RPM centrifugation
… the vestibular stimulus associated with making head movements while rotating presents a challenge. During a head movement, the semicircular canals are excited by a cross-coupled angular acceleration, resulting in tumbling sensations, perceived body tilt, non-compensatory vertical nystagmus, and …

Real-time tracking of olfactory information, and correlating behavior with odor plume-encounters in an olfactory-guided navigation task: On why my ethanol plumes brought all the mice to the yard
… neuroscience had been from studies using head-fixed preparations. How a complex olfactory stimulus in the form of a turbulent odor-plume guides navigation in mammals remains elusive. This lack-of-understanding stems from the challenges associated with recreating the complex olfactory …

Gap dependencies in coordination

Motor training and cervical spine manipulation: effects on sensorimotor integration
… activation in both the manipulation and passive head movement control groups, corroborating with the results from the first study. The use of a complex motor training task is a useful tool for determining intervention effects on neural processing in individuals with SCNP.
