Policy Spandrels: How Design Decisions Can Open Up Spaces for Unintended Policy Change

European Policy Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article introduces the concept of policy spandrels to make sense of public policies producing second‐order effects that are unintentional from the perspective of policy design and yet are fraught with consequences. By analogy with architectural spandrels—leftover spaces that can be used for unforeseen purposes—policy change can be enabled

Brain-like illusion produced by Skye's Oblique Grating in deep neural networks.

PLoS ONE
The analogy between the brain and deep neural networks (DNNs) has sparked interest in neuroscience. Although DNNs have limitations, they remain valuable for modeling specific brain characteristics.

Dentists make larger holes in teeth than they need to if the teeth present a visual illusion of size. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND: Health care depends, in part, on the ability of a practitioner to see signs of disease and to see how to treat it. Visual illusions, therefore, could affect health care.

Service Work as Lived Experience: A Problematizing Review

Human Resource Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Between employee burnout and growing recruitment challenges, a systemic crisis confronts the service industry. One reason lies in the scope of received human resource management (HRM) approaches, which often emphasize organizational performance metrics at the expense of the emotional, social, and material experiences of doing frontline service

The Illusion of Structural Order: Evaluating the Suppression of Amorphous Carbon Black Pigment Bands in SSE‐Processed Handheld Raman Spectra

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
The handheld Raman with SSE system efficiently mitigates fluorescence; however, it may also bias the Raman response towards graphitic domains in carbon‐based black pigments, thereby concealing amorphous carbon contributions that are critical for pigment type identification.

Meta‐Virtuality: Strategies of Disembeddedness in Virtual Interiorities

Journal of Interior Design, EarlyView., 2022
ABSTRACT To reclaim their seat in the rapidly growing market of virtual space, designers of the built environment can benefit from reevaluating theories that see the virtual as a mere extension/reflection of the physical. By claiming ontological autonomy from external worlds, the virtual is liberated from the hegemonic control of the physical.

Impact of Visual Kinesthetic Illusions on Reciprocal Inhibition and Motor Function

Applied Sciences
Reciprocal inhibition is often diminished in elderly individuals and those with upper motor neuron disorders. This reduction in reciprocal inhibition can hinder smooth joint movement.
