Spatial task context makes short-latency reaches prone to induced Roelofs illusion

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
The perceptual localization of an object is often more prone to illusions than an immediate visuomotor action towards that object. The induced Roelofs effect (IRE) probes the illusory influence of task-irrelevant visual contextual stimuli on the ...

The Waggle Dance as an Intended Flight: A Cognitive Perspective [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The notion of the waggle dance simulating a flight towards a goal in a walking pattern has been proposed in the context of evolutionary considerations. Behavioral components, like its arousing effect on the social community, the attention of hive mates ...

Low-Resolution Place and Response Learning Capacities in Down Syndrome

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2018
Down syndrome (DS), the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability, results from the partial or complete triplication of chromosome 21. Individuals with DS are impaired at using a high-resolution, allocentric spatial representation to learn and

Human spatial navigation: Neural representations of spatial scales and reference frames obtained from an ALE meta-analysis

open access: yesNeuroImage, 2021
Humans use different spatial reference frames (allocentric or egocentric) to navigate successfully toward their destination in different spatial scale spaces (environmental or vista). However, it remains unclear how the brain represents different spatial

Perspective: Assessing the Flexible Acquisition, Integration, and Deployment of Human Spatial Representations and Information

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018
Studying human spatial navigation in the lab can be challenging, particularly when including non-invasive neural measures like functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and scalp encephalography (EEG). While there is broad consensus that human spatial

Self-motion and the perception of stationary objects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
One of the ways we perceive shape is through seeing motion. Visual motion may be actively generated (for example, in locomotion), or passively observed.

Impairment of human spatial orientation in the horizontal, but not the vertical plane, due to aging, cognitive decline, or chronic peripheral vestibular loss

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience
IntroductionHumans and other vertebrates exhibit anisotropic orientation and navigation skills, with better performances in the horizontal compared to the vertical plane. While horizontal navigation accuracy decreases with higher age, less is known about

Evidence for allocentric boundary and goal direction information in the human entorhinal cortex and subiculum

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
In rodents, cells in the medial entorhinal cortex and subiculum are known to encode the allocentric direction to nearby walls and boundaries. Here, using fMRI the authors show that this is also true in humans, with allocentric boundary direction being ...

Grid Cell Hexagonal Patterns Formed by Fast Self-Organized Learning within Entorhinal Cortex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Grid cells in the dorsal segment of the medial entorhinal cortex (dMEC) show remarkable hexagonal activity patterns, at multiple spatial scales, during spatial navigation. How these hexagonal patterns arise has excited intense interest. It has previously
