Role of Reference Frames for a Safe Human–Robot Interaction

open access: yesSensors, 2023
Safety plays a key role in human–robot interactions in collaborative robot (cobot) applications. This paper provides a general procedure to guarantee safe workstations allowing human operations, robot contributions, the dynamical environment, and time ...

What Counts as an Environment in Memory Research? Conceptualizing Environment Across Memory Traditions

open access: yesWIREs Cognitive Science, Volume 17, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
This review shows that environment–memory research is divided not only by method, but by different definitions of what an environment is through the comparison of category‐, feature‐, and context‐based traditions. ABSTRACT Research on memory and the physical environment has expanded across neuroscience, environmental psychology, and spatial cognition ...

Children’s use of egocentric reference frames in spatial language is related to their numerical magnitude understanding

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2022
Numerical magnitude information is assumed to be spatially represented in the form of a mental number line defined with respect to a body-centred, egocentric frame of reference.

The Dorsal‐Ventral Account of Picture Perception

open access: yesPhilosophy Compass, Volume 21, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT What is the nature of our perception of pictures? Philosophers intrigued by this question, and adopting a naturalistic perspective, have turned to findings from visual neuroscience to answer it. This perspective seeks to address the question within the framework of the Two Visual Systems Model, which provides a specific anatomo‐functional ...

Supplementing, restructuring, resisting: Maps of Underground space in poetry, embodied performativity, and the “misrepresentationalism” of Harry Beck's Tube diagram

open access: yesOrbis Litterarum, Volume 81, Issue 2, Page 140-154, April 2026.
Abstract This article considers mental and poetic “maps” of London in their respective relationships to Harry Beck's famous 1930s “circuit‐diagram” map of the underground railway system. This iconic image distorts and radically stylizes London geography; thus, it functions as a tool for planning individual travel itineraries but leads to a ...

Dynamic Updating of Cognitive Maps via Traces of Experience in the Subiculum

open access: yesHippocampus, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT In the classical view of hippocampal function, the subiculum is assigned the role of the output layer. In spatial paradigms, some subiculum neurons manifest as so‐called boundary vector cells (BVCs), firing in response to boundaries at specific allocentric directions and distances.

Reference frames in virtual spatial navigation are viewpoint dependent

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Spatial navigation in the mammalian brain relies on a cognitive map of the environment. Such cognitive maps enable us, for example, to take the optimal route from a given location to a known target.

Non‐Canonical Subiculum Circuit Organization and Function

open access: yesHippocampus, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The subiculum is highly interconnected with the hippocampus, sub‐regions of the thalamus, and the entorhinal and retrosplenial cortices. Together, these regions form a distributed network that plays critical roles in spatial cognition and learning and memory.

An allocentric human odometer for perceiving distances on the ground plane

open access: yeseLife
We 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.

Framing of grid cells within and beyond navigation boundaries

open access: yeseLife, 2017
Grid cells represent an ideal candidate to investigate the allocentric determinants of the brain’s cognitive map. Most studies of grid cells emphasized the roles of geometric boundaries within the navigational range of the animal. Behaviors such as novel
