What tool representation, intuitive physics, and action have in common: The brain’s first-person physics engine [PDF]
Cognitive Neuropsychology, 2021 An overlapping set of brain regions in parietal and frontal cortex are engaged by different types of tasks and stimuli: (i) making inferences about the physical structure and dynamics of the world, (ii) passively viewing, or actively interacting with ...

American Journal of Physics, 2016 More than a decade ago, Edwin Taylor issued a “call to action” that presented the case for basing introductory university mechanics teaching around the principle of stationary action [E. F. Taylor, Am. J. Phys. 71, 423–425 (2003)]. We report on our response to that call in the form of an investigation of the teaching and learning of the stationary ...

Gender gaps and gendered action in a first-year physics laboratory
Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2016 [This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Gender in Physics.] It is established that male students outperform female students on almost all commonly used physics concept inventories.

Decoding the physics of observed actions in the human brain
eLife, 2023 Abstract Recognizing goal-directed actions is a computationally challenging task, requiring not only the visual analysis of body movements, but also analysis of how these movements causally impact, and thereby induce a change in, those objects targeted by an action.

Geometrical aspects of an Abelian (2,0) action [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 We explore various geometrical aspects of an action for six-dimensional chiral 2-forms based on the formalism of 1903.12196. We elucidate the coupling to general backgrounds and construct the full supersymmetric completion to an abelian (2, 0 ...

VLA-MP: A Vision-Language-Action Framework for Multimodal Perception and Physics-Constrained Action Generation in Autonomous Driving [PDF]
SensorsAutonomous driving in complex real-world environments requires robust perception, reasoning, and physically feasible planning, which remain challenging for current end-to-end approaches.

Extremal Kerr Black Holes as Amplifiers of New Physics. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2023 We show that extremal Kerr black holes are sensitive probes of new physics. Stringy or quantum corrections to general relativity are expected to generate higher-curvature terms in the gravitational action.

DexDeform: Dexterous Deformable Object Manipulation with Human Demonstrations and Differentiable Physics [PDF]
International Conference on Learning Representations, 2023 In this work, we aim to learn dexterous manipulation of deformable objects using multi-fingered hands. Reinforcement learning approaches for dexterous rigid object manipulation would struggle in this setting due to the complexity of physics interaction ...
