Variability in the Simon effect

open access: yes, 2009
The automatic-controlled distinction provides one way to explore movement disorders such as apraxia. For such a population it would be useful to have a simple task and measure to distinguish automatic from controlled movements. The Simon task, which compares performance on congruent versus noncongruent tasks, is thought to have both automatic and ...

Visible‐Light Photoprogrammable Transistors Enabled by an All‐Organic Triplet‐Sensitized Diarylethene Channel Layer

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
All‐organic channel‐layer OFETs are shown to enable visible‐light photoprogramming via triplet‐sensitized diarylethene switching. Preferential localization of the photoswitch and organic sensitizer in intercrystalline amorphous domains preserves polymer crystalline packing while ensuring short‐range Dexter‐type triplet–triplet energy transfer and solid‐

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.

Onset and Offset as Determinants of the Simon Effect [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We investigated the presence and the characteristics of the Simon effect for onset and offset targets when these stimuli are randomly intermixed. In Experiment 1, two possible target locations were occupied by an occluder.

The Willmore flow of Hopf-tori in the $3$-sphere

open access: yes, 2021
In this article the author investigates flow lines of the classical Willmore flow, which start moving in a parametrization of a Hopf-torus in $\mathbb{S}^3$.

The Future of Research in Cognitive Robotics: Foundation Models or Developmental Cognitive Models?

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Research in cognitive robotics founded on principles of developmental psychology and enactive cognitive science would yield what we seek in autonomous robots: the ability to perceive its environment, learn from experience, anticipate the outcome of events, act to pursue goals, and adapt to changing circumstances without resorting to training with ...

A Soft Robotic Fish With a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator Body and Negative Stiffness Spine

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work introduces a bio‐mimetic soft robotic fish driven by fiber‐reinforced dielectric elastomer actuators integrated as its body. By prestretching this active skin against a flexible spine, a negative stiffness system is created, enabling large‐amplitude bending.

Physico-chemical properties of ionic-liquid water mixtures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In order for Ionic Liquids (ILs) to be utilized to their full potential, it is necessary to have a complete understanding of their physical properties, including phase transitions temperatures1. We have previously reported into the extent of structuring

Attenuation of Influenza a Virus into Live Vaccines Through C‐End Degrons

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Naturally occurring C‐end degrons are exploited to design proteolysis‐targeting live attenuated influenza vaccines. C‐end degron tagging of viral M1 protein promotes proteasome‐dependent degradation, resulting in robust attenuation in host cells while permitting scalable production in engineered cells.

Learning novel sound patterns [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The acquisition of vocabulary represents a key phenomenon in language acquisition, yet it is still poorly understood. Gathercole and colleagues have recently provided a rigorous test of vocabulary knowledge (the nonword repetition test, Gathercole ...
