Intercepting Moving Objects During Self-Motion
Journal of Motor Behavior, 1999It is generally assumed that in catching a fly ball, an efficient strategy for dealing with the horizontal component of the ball's trajectory is for the observer to keep the angular position of the ball constant with respect to his head. That strategy is called the constant bearing angle or CBA strategy.

Abstract This chapter explains self-motion in Cavendish and Conway. It examines how Cavendish’s views can be seen as a response to deficits in her contemporaries’ mechanical explanations of motion. It argues that Cavendish’s account of motion cannot be reduced to change of parthood relations, as Cavendish holds that some motions do not ...

The purpose of this paper is to review some aspects of the current knowledge concerning linear self motion perception. An adequate perception of self motion is important for movement, locomotion (Review in Schone, 1980), and in any situation in which man has to drive a machine or a vehicle; it requires the evaluation of head motion in space which can ...

Arthrokinetic Information Affects Linear Self-Motion Perception
Journal of Vestibular Research, 1995A sensation of linear self-motion can be induced in a blindfolded stationary sitting subject, who keeps contact with a linearly moving platform (acceleration 0.1 m/s2) in the frontoparallel plane by means of a hand-over-hand walking action. When discordant suprathreshold vestibular information from the otoliths is added by moving the subject laterally (

The neural encoding of self-motion
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2011As we move through the world, information can be combined from multiple sources in order to allow us to perceive our self-motion. The vestibular system detects and encodes the motion of the head in space. In addition, extra-vestibular cues such as retinal-image motion (optic flow), proprioception, and motor efference signals, provide valuable motion ...

The aim of this chapter is to outline the principal methods used to describe atomic motions in monatomic liquids like rare-element liquids, or liquid metals within the adiabatic approximation. We shall be mainly concerned with the self-motion of a tagged particle immersed in a fluid, but the general methods presented can on the whole be applied when ...

Abstract In Book VIII of the Phys1i·s Aristotle discusses self-motion in order to show that particular changes caused by one body acting on another can be explained without citing an infinite number of previous changes. In VIII. 5 he argues that an explanatory regress can be avoided because ordinary changes are caused, either directly

Self motion in classical liquids
Journal of Physics C: Solid State Physics, 1973The memory function associated with the velocity autocorrelation has been calculated from the equation of motion of a test atom and by decoupling the statistical average in such a way that the collective effects of the system are also included. The self diffusion coefficient of liquid sodium has been computed from the present formulation and compared ...
