Interpretation of Tactile Sensation using an Anthropomorphic Finger Motion Interface to Operate a Virtual Avatar [PDF]
The objective of the system presented in this paper is to give users tactile feedback while walking in a virtual world through an anthropomorphic finger motion interface. We determined that the synchrony between the first person perspective and proprioceptive information together with the motor activity of the user's fingers are able to induce an ...

"Sitting too close to the screen can be bad for your ears": A study of audio-visual location discrepancy detection under different visual projections [PDF]
In this work, we look at the perception of event locality under conditions of disparate audio and visual cues. We address an aspect of the so called “ventriloquism effect” relevant for multi-media designers; namely, how auditory perception of event ...

Size constancy affects the perception and parietal neural representation of object size
Humans and animals rely on accurate object size perception to guide behavior. Object size is judged from visual input, but the relationship between an object's retinal size and its real-world size varies with distance.

ABSTRACT This study assessed whether continued treatment with anti‐CGRP monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is driven more by reductions in monthly migraine days (MMDs) or patients' global impression of change (PGIC), a patient‐reported outcome. Among 169 patients treated with anti‐CGRP mAbs, 21.3% discontinued due to ineffectiveness. PGIC responders (≥ 5) at

Pathway Analyses of Inherited Neuropathies Identify Putative Common Mechanisms of Axon Degeneration
ABSTRACT Objective Inherited neuropathies (IN) are associated with over 100 different genetic mutations presenting with a variety of phenotypes. This complexity suggests multiple pathways may converge onto a limited number of downstream pathways to effect axonal injury.

Neural Dynamics of Motion Processing and Speed Discrimination [PDF]
A neural network model of visual motion perception and speed discrimination is presented. The model shows how a distributed population code of speed tuning, that realizes a size-speed correlation, can be derived from the simplest mechanisms whereby ...

Are Elephants Bigger than Butterflies? Reasoning about Sizes of Objects
Human vision greatly benefits from the information about sizes of objects. The role of size in several visual reasoning tasks has been thoroughly explored in human perception and cognition. However, the impact of the information about sizes of objects is

Big number, big body: Jersey numbers alter body size perception.
Vision has been shown to be an active process that can be shaped by top-down influences. Here, we add to this area of research by showing a surprising example of how visual perception can be affected by cognition (i.e., cognitive penetration).
