Hallucination machine : a body centric model of space perception
In 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 …

Chien, Auo, Shih : evolution of space perception and space making in China
The question of "what is the essence of Chinese architecture" has been puzzling Westerners as well as Chinese since the incept i on of Traditional Chinese Architecture Studies five decades ago . This thesis attempts to answer the question by exploring some spatial concepts which have not been …

Integration of public access : the adaptive re-use of Alcoa's waterworks
… to different user groups, it is the collective spaces that help organize a framework to make the journey continuous. This project provides an opportunity to examine how some ideas about movement patterns and space perception can be incorporated through architectural interventions to take …

Plan schematization : a computational approach to morphological structure of architectural space
… premised so that plan making can start from a 'space scheme' which is a description of 'hierarchic balloon representation'. The space organization of a plan is described in hierarchic balloon representation in terms of a part/whole hierarchy of adumbrated space units. The information processing …

Object and spatial subsystems in mental imagery : behavioral investigations
Recent evidence indicates that mental imagery comprises independent object and spatial subsystems. The experiments reported here are behavioral studies of these subsystems. Experiments 1 and 2 used the selective interference paradigm to determine whether these subsystems could be behaviorally …

Spatial Distortions in Visual Short-Term Memory
Zweidimensionale topographische Karten stellen ein wichtiges Kodierungsprinzip räumlicher Information im Gehirn von Primaten dar. Neuronale Karten können im Prinzip systematischen Verzerrungen unterliegen, die sowohl durch Wechselwirkungen zwischen benachbarten Zellen als auch durch …
