Lifetime of Human Visual Sensory Memory: Properties and Neural Substrate
… the condition to measure the transient decay of visual sensory memory (VSM, also known as iconic memory). A model was developed to isolate the VSM and visual working memory (VWM) underlying the partial-report performance. The decay of VSM in each subject was well characterized by a single …

MECHANISMS OF GAZE STABILITY DURING WALKING: BEHAVIORAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL MEASURES RELATING GAZE STABILITY TO OSCILLOPSIA
Visual sensory input plays a significant role in maintaining upright posture during walking. Visual input contributes to control of head, trunk, and leg motion during walking to facilitate interaction with and avoidance of objects and individuals in the environment. The vestibular system …

Learning Robust Terrain-Aware Locomotion
… to perturbations but cannot easily incorporate visual terrain information. Meanwhile, approaches to locomotion based on learning excel at associating visual sensory data with suitable control policies but often fail to generalize across the gap between simulation and deployment settings. This …

Examining factors associated with cave visitor satisfaction
… motivation, sensation seeking attributes, and sensory experience) that may influence cave visitors' overall satisfaction. An on-site survey questionnaire was conducted at three selected Missouri caves. Descriptive statistics were used to profile cave visitors and assess overall satisfaction. A …

ENVIRONMENTAL GEOMETRY IN FISHES AND TORTOISES: EFFECT OF LANDMARKS, BEHAVIOURAL METHODOLOGIES, AND SENSORY CHANNELS ON SPATIAL REORIENTATION
… exit task”); 3) the involvement of extra-visual sensory channels in visual transparency conditions, and motion patterns. The present Thesis applied behavioural assessments and analyses to pursue a line of comparison, across species, methodologies, and sensory systems. As regards …

A multisensory observer model for human spatial orientation perception
… sense organ dynamics, continuously updated by sensory-conflict signals. CNS function is thus analogous to a Luenberger state observer in engineering systems. Using a relatively small set of free parameters, Observer orientation models capture the main features of experimental data for a variety …

The contribution of design in sustaining social activities in central urban squares within large cities: the case of Belo Horizonte
… Although recent literature has acknowledged that visual and non-visual sensory aspects should be taken into account in the design of environments, most theory, practice and teaching of urban design have focused on the visual qualities of spaces. Furthermore, design processes have often been based …

Towards an integrated approach to the assessment and management of children with reading difficulties
… associated with reading; reading ability, visual sensory and oculomotor function, visual perception, attention, memory, phonological awareness and rapid naming. Differences in mean performance between different reading ability groups (ANOVA), and correlations between the variables studied, …

Life Between Construction Sites and Reconfiguring Public Space: The Current Case of Istanbul
… study which includes economic, visual, sensory, and observational methods, together with a review of redevelopment policies and laws implemented by the government. The findings suggest that the construction sites are in every corner of the city and creating noise, dirt, and dust, …

Visual Processing Across Space and Time in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
… by better detection and identification of visual targets. This enhanced ability to discriminate features has been replicated across spatial and temporal displays. Research also suggests that visual perceptual abilities are correlated with the severity of core autism symptoms in this …

An Alternative Method of Identification of a Failed Engine in Twin-Engine Propeller Aircraft
… of a current method recommended adding a visual indicator of some kind.</p> <p>Research Study 2 was designed on the assumption that the current method of identification of a failed engine, called “dead leg – dead engine,” was not efficient enough, and an alternative method was introduced …

Narrações dos corpos: constelações como atualizações em dança
… in several ways. There are many images: visual, sensory, tactile, textual, verbal that are articulated by weaving constellations. The narrations are collectively structured and generate meanings from affections (Spinoza/Safatle), with people involved with ethics and democracy for the …

Visual-Oculomotor and Head Movement Strategies in Postural Control
Postural control requires the integration of visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive information to maintain stability. The gold standard for inferring postural control relies on lab-based tools, such as force plates and full-body motion capture to track center of mass (COM) and center of pressure …

Ontogeny of Prepulse Inhibition Across Sensory Systems
… the published papers are limited to testing one sensory system at one age. The present study is a continuation of our research assessing whether PPI response curves differ as a modality of the prepulse as well as the maturation of such curves across early development. In the present study, we …

Essential techniques for improving visual realism of laparoscopic surgery simulation.
… electronics as a new way to enhance tactile and visual sensory experiences. Virtual reality based surgical skill training gradually becomes an effective supplementary to the traditional laparoscopic skill training in many surgical theatres. To provide high fidelity virtual surgery training …

The role of individual variation in auditory and visual processing: implications for mate choice
… exchange of courtship signals in different sensory modalities. My work focuses on understanding the factors that contribute to variation in male sexual signals and variation in female sensory perception and behavioral responses to these signals. I addressed several specific research …

High-resolution spatio-temporal quantification of fish predator-prey interactions over ecosystem scales with multispectral underwater sensing and optimality of human visual perception with natural daylight
… vital information for organisms that utilize visual sensory perception for survival in their environments. Psychophysical experiments on visual intensity discrimination with artificial light sources over a century have shown that the smallest detectable change in light intensity, termed …

BEES AND WASPS IN A CHANGING ENVIRONMENT: MULTIPLE RESPONSES TO ANTHROPISED LANDSCAPES
… (in hotter urban areas) appeared to have a visual sensory system that probably improves image resolution, while O. cornuta (in hotter urban areas) additionally reduced resource investment in cold-adapted thermoreceptors. Finally, one species (H. scabiosae) showed greater histological damage …

Enhancing Access to the Matchday Experience: Considering the Role and Purpose of Audio Descriptive Football Commentary
… football commentary aimed at audiences without visual access to the game - radio commentary. It is an interdisciplinary, empirically-grounded piece of research that draws on mixed quantitative and qualitative methods, some frequently used in psychology. In this first chapter, I argue that some …
