Do Community College Students' Perceptions Impact Their Decisions to Transfer?
… objective of this study was to determine if the perceptions of urban community college students impacted their decision to transition into a four-year private Catholic university. The study design was quantitative in nature, using an electronic Likert Survey. The electronic survey was sent out to …

Hallucination machine : a body centric model of space perception
… this thesis I present a novel approach to space perception. I provide a body-centric computational model, The Hallucination Machine, that integrates bodily knowledge with senses in a common modality which I call "the sphere of embodiment". Understanding the human experience of space is an …

Hierarchical organisation of voice and voice gender perception
… extensive research has been conducted on speech perception voice alone has only just started generating more and more interest in the cognitive neuroscience research community. Voice is not "just" a speech carrier, it conveys rich paralinguistic information such as gender, age, identity or …

Human spatial orientation perceptions during simulated lunar landing
… were used as inputs to a mathematical model for orientation system function, to predict human perception of orientation and identify disorientating illusions. Simulations were conducted using the vestibular-only portion of the model as well as incorporating the activation of visual …

Estimating Global Object Pose from Tactile Images
… objects. Given the object geometry, we learn a perception model in simulation that estimates a probability distribution over possible object poses given a tactile observation. To do so, we simulate the contact shapes that a dense set of object poses would produce on the sensor. Then, given a new …

Human perception and control of vehicle roll tilt in hyper-gravity
… in which they must maintain accurate perception and control of vehicle orientation for tasks such as landing and docking. To study sensorimotor function in altered gravity, a hyper-gravity test-bed was produced using a centrifuge. Previous experiments have quantified static tilt …
