Affordances for robots: a brief survey [PDF]

Avant, 2012
In this paper, we consider the influence of Gibson's affordance theory on the design of robotic agents. Affordance theory (and the ecological approach to agent design in general) has in many cases contributed to the development of successful robotic ...

Musical Affordances and the Gestalt Legacy: enriching music perception

Gestalt Theory, 2023
In the current cognitive theory of music, concepts of Gestalt psychology are referred to in various ways. For example, neurocognitive models of music perception address the formation of auditory Gestalts as a stage in the formation of meaning.

Pathways and pitfalls: a qualitative study of student experiences in biomedical science education

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Biomedical science students from underrepresented backgrounds face barriers including financial strain, disrupted laboratory access and cultural exclusion. Peer networks provide vital support when institutional systems are difficult to navigate. To create inclusive learning environments and achieve academic success, educators should blend active, hands‐

Bridging theory and practice: affordance theory as a methodological link in information interaction and repository design

Information Research: An International Electronic Journal
Introduction. Information practices research and information systems design remain disconnected despite their complementary aims. Affordance theory offers a methodological bridge by translating cognitive-contextual insights about user interaction into ...

Effect of terahertz irradiation on DNA damage repair in living cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We investigated the effect of terahertz (THz) wave irradiation on DNA double‐strand break (DSB) repair in living cells. We found that THz irradiation enhanced DSB repair at specific frequencies, whereas heat treatment inhibited it, indicating that this effect is nonthermal and frequency‐specific.

Intention Reasoning for User Action Sequences via Fusion of Object Task and Object Action Affordances Based on Dempster–Shafer Theory

Sensors
To reduce the burden on individuals with disabilities when operating a Wheelchair Mounted Robotic Arm (WMRA), many researchers have focused on inferring users’ subsequent task intentions based on their “gazing” or “selecting” of scene objects.

Cerebellum, Basal Ganglia, and Cortex Mediate Performance of an Aerial Pursuit Task

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2020
The affordance competition hypothesis is an ethologically inspired theory from cognitive neuroscience that provides an integrative neural account of continuous, real-time behavior, and will likely become increasingly relevant to the growing field of ...

Recent insights into the molecular mechanism of ubiquinol oxidation by cytochrome bc1

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The review reflects on the mechanism of the catalytic reaction in cytochrome bc1: the electron bifurcation that involves the separation of two electrons derived from the quinol oxidation to opposite sides of the enzyme across the membrane. This review summarizes the long‐standing effort to understand the mechanism of quinol oxidation catalyzed by ...
