Stair‐Climbing Wheelchairs for Enhanced Mobility: A Comprehensive Review of Fundamental Mechanisms, Design Concepts, and Performance Analysis

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT People with physical disabilities face significant mobility challenges while climbing uneven surfaces and staircases. In these circumstances, traditional wheelchairs do not provide stable, safely controlled mobility, underscoring the importance of building superior stair‐climbing wheelchairs for both medical and infrastructure purposes.

Catch-Up Saccades in Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex Deficit: Contribution of Visual Information? [PDF]

International audienceObjectives: Catch-up saccades help to compensate for loss of gaze stabilization during rapid head rotation in case of vestibular deficit. While overt saccades observed after head rotation are obviously visually guided, some of these

GHOSTLY ENCOUNTERS IN LAGOS: Virtual Reality between Urban Marketing and Media Activism

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the role of virtual reality (VR) technologies in mediating and contesting dominant visions of urban futures in West Africa. Drawing on theoretical insights from a hybridization of the work of the German‐born Jewish critic Walter Benjamin and the Nigerian writer Amos Tutuola, I introduce the concept of phantasmagoria as a ...

Presentation modality influences behavioral measures of alerting, orienting, and executive control [PDF]

, 2006
The Attention Network Test (ANT) uses visual stimuli to separately assess the attentional skills of alerting (improved performance following a warning cue), spatial orienting (an additional benefit when the warning cue also cues target location), and ...

Visual target selection and motor planning define attentional enhancement at perceptual processing stages

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2010
Extracting information from the visual field can be achieved by covertly orienting attention to different regions, or by making saccades to bring areas of interest onto the fovea.

L'envolée épistémique de la recherche comptable en économie financière : une étude historique sur la conception de l'utilité de la comptabilité* The Epistemic Rise of Accounting Research in Financial Economics: A Historical Study on the Conception of the Usefulness of Accounting

Contemporary Accounting Research, EarlyView.
RÉSUMÉ L'étude publiée par Ball et Brown en 1968 (ci‐après « BB68 ») est principalement reconnue pour son affirmation selon laquelle la comptabilité de l'époque était utile pour les investisseurs, s'inscrivant alors en contradiction avec la littérature comptable normative faisant office d'autorité. Or, une telle affirmation n'allait pas de soi.

Phase coupling between eye and brain pulsations is bidirectional and modulated by the parasympathetic system – An fMREye study

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Physiological pulsations driven by cardiac, respiratory, and vasomotor activity are essential for solute transport within perivascular and perineural cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pathways that support brain and eye clearance systems. Previous studies have shown that parasympathetic blockade significantly reduces ocular pulsation power and

Dynamic spatial coding within the dorsal frontoparietal network during a visual search task. [PDF]

, 2008
To what extent are the left and right visual hemifields spatially coded in the dorsal frontoparietal attention network? In many experiments with neglect patients, the left hemisphere shows a contralateral hemifield preference, whereas the right ...
