Viewpoint-invariant Weber fractions and standard contour-curvature discrimination [PDF]
Biological Cybernetics, 1993 It is proposed that any cue for the visual discrimination of shape, in particular the discrimination of curved contours, should be such that the perceptual relationships defined by the cue are invariant under changes in observer viewpoint. Such relationships may be quantified by the Weber fraction; that is, the ratio Δc/c, where, for any particular ...

Malleability of the approximate number system: effects of feedback and training
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2012 Prior research demonstrates that animals and humans share an approximate number system (ANS), characterized by ratio dependence and that the precision of this system increases substantially over human development. The goal of the present research was to

On the edge: haptic discrimination of edge sharpness. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The increasing ubiquity of haptic displays (e.g., smart phones and tablets) necessitates a better understanding of the perceptual capabilities of the human haptic system.

Extraction of the neural count function from the Weber fraction [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1986 It is shown that the dependence of the Weber fraction, ΔI/I, on I determines the form of the neural firing rate function N(I) provided that the relation between ΔN and N is given. Here, ΔN is the change in average firing rate resulting from an intensity jnd. The firing rate function consistent with Weber's law is predicted when ΔN ∼ N1/2. Assuming that

Some theorems on the explicit evaluation of Ramanujan's theta-functions
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2004 Bruce C. Berndt et al. and Soon-Yi Kang have proved many of Ramanujan's formulas for the explicit evaluation of the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction and theta-functions in terms of Weber-Ramanujan class invariants.

Effect of retrogression re-aging treatment on corrosion behavior of 7055 Al-Zn-Mg alloy
Materials Research Express, 2020 The effect of retrogression re-aging treatment (RRA) on the corrosion behavior of 7055 Al-Zn-Mg alloy was studied in this paper. Results provided that corrosion resistance could be greatly improved by RRA.

Significant Inter-Test Reliability Across Approximate Number System Assessments
Frontiers in Psychology, 2016 The approximate number system (ANS) is the hypothesized cognitive mechanism that allows adults, infants, and animals to enumerate large sets of items approximately. Researchers usually assess the ANS by having subjects compare two sets and indicate which
