An allocentric human odometer for perceiving distances on the ground plane [PDF]
eLifeWe reliably judge locations of static objects when we walk despite the retinal images of these objects moving with every step we take. Here, we showed our brains solve this optical illusion by adopting an allocentric spatial reference frame.

No Sex‐Differences in Learning Trap‐Gap Problems in Zebra Finches [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionSex differences in cognition are often predicted based on ecological roles, particularly when one sex engages more extensively in specific behaviors that might be subject to selective pressure.

Journal of Eye Movement Research, 2013 Looking at the future path and/or the tangent point (TP) have been identified as car drivers’ gaze targets in many studies on curve driving. Yet little is known in detail about these "fixations to the road". We quantitatively analyse gaze behavior at the

Position- and scale-invariant object-centered spatial localization in monkey frontoparietal cortex dynamically adapts to cognitive demand [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsEgocentric encoding is a well-known property of brain areas along the dorsal pathway. Different to previous experiments, which typically only demanded egocentric spatial processing during movement preparation, we designed a task where two male rhesus ...

Egocentric and Allocentric Reference Frames Can Flexibly Support Contextual Cueing
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 We investigated if contextual cueing can be guided by egocentric and allocentric reference frames. Combinations of search configurations and external frame orientations were learned during a training phase.

The Visual Umwelt of primates and Hippocampal Representations of Space. [PDF]
HippocampusABSTRACT Evolution sculpts the brain's sensory adaptations. Because these adaptations differ markedly across species, it is challenging for humans to fully comprehend how other animals perceive the world. For a nocturnal mouse, the subjective sensory world—its Umwelt—is dominated by odors, sounds, and textures, with visual input playing a secondary ...

NeuroImage, 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

Temporal dynamics of object location processing in allocentric reference frame [PDF]
Psychophysiology, 2017 AbstractThe spatial location of objects is processed in egocentric and allocentric reference frames, the early temporal dynamics of which have remained relatively unexplored. Previous experiments focused on ERP components related only to egocentric navigation.

The neural basis of the egocentric and allocentric spatial frame of reference [PDF]
Brain Research, 2007 The present study examines the functional and anatomical underpinnings of egocentric and allocentric coding of spatial coordinates. For this purpose, we set up a functional magnet resonance imaging experiment using verbal descriptions of spatial relations either with respect to the listener (egocentric) or without any body-centered relations ...
