Different Head-Sway Responses to Optic Flow in Sitting and Standing With a Head-Mounted Display

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2020
We investigated postural responses (head displacements) and self-motion perception (vection) to radial and lateral optic flows while sitting and standing by using a head-mounted display.

Numerical simulations studies of the convective instability onset in a supercritical fluid [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Numerical simulation studies in 2D with the addition of noise are reported for the convection of a supercritical fluid,3He, in a Rayleigh-Be'nard cell where the fluid parameters and cell height L are the same as in published laboratory experiments.

Mean Temperature Profiles in Turbulent Thermal Convection

open access: yes, 2017
To predict the mean temperature profiles in turbulent thermal convection, the thermal boundary layer (BL) equation including the effects of fluctuations has to be solved. In Shishkina et al., Phys. Rev. Lett.

Quasi-geostrophic approximation of anelastic convection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The onset of convection in a rotating cylindrical annulus with parallel ends filled with a compressible fluid is studied in the anelastic approximation. Thermal Rossby waves propagating in the azimuthal direction are found as solutions.

Optic-flow selective cortical sensory regions associated with self-reported states of vection

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2015
Optic flow is one of the most important visual cues to the estimation of self-motion. It has repeatedly been demonstrated that a cortical network including visual, multisensory and vestibular areas is implicated in processing optic flow; namely, visual ...

Dehydration in the tropical tropopause layer: Implications from the UARS Microwave Limb Sounder [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Measurements of H2O from the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) on the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) are used to investigate the structure of H2O in the near tropopause region and dehydration mechanisms in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL).

More than a Cool Illusion? Functional Significance of Self-Motion Illusion (Circular Vection) for Perspective Switches

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2015
Self-motion can facilitate perspective switches and automatic spatial updating and help reduce disorientation in applications like Virtual Reality. However, providing physical motion through moving-base motion simulators or free-space walking areas comes

A model study of oceanic mechanisms affecting Equatorial Pacific sea surface temperature during the 1997-98 El Niño [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
In this study, the processes affecting sea surface temperature variability over the 1992–98 period, encompassing the very strong 1997–98 El Niño event, are analyzed.

Up-down asymmetry in vertical vection

open access: yesVision Research, 2015
To investigate whether up-down asymmetry similar to that reported in vertical optokinetic nystagmus (OKN), that is, larger OKN responses for upward motion than for downward motion, would appear in vertical vection, we conducted three experiments. In all three experiments, participants viewed a vertically moving random-dot pattern.

Relative Visual Oscillation Can Facilitate Visually Induced Self-Motion Perception

open access: yesi-Perception, 2016
Adding simulated viewpoint jitter or oscillation to displays enhances visually induced illusions of self-motion (vection). The cause of this enhancement is yet to be fully understood.
