Abstract:

Abstract During the COVID-19 pandemic, drone videos of cities under lockdown were shared widely on global news and social media, drawing attention to the drone as an emergent technology of perception, witnessing, and artistic expression. Diverging from the majority of drone scholarship, which centers on its practical utility for warfare, surveillance, policing, and activism, this essay is interested in the drone as an aesthetic medium. Through the notion of the “spectacular drone,” I highlight the technology's ability to produce kinetic and affective spectacles. I argue that there is a need to

Abstract:

Reverspectives are paintings created by the English artist Patrick Hughes. They are 3D structures, for example, pyramids or prisms, which elicit an illusory depth perception that corresponds to the reverse of the physical depth layout. Rogers and Gyani state that “the perspective information provided by a simple grid of vertical and horizontal lines on a slanting surface can be just as powerful as the information provided by a rich, naturalistic scene”. The present experiment was aimed to further investigate this perspective reversal. Three independent variables were manipulated: (1) texture c

The present research implemented two improved forest management practices in a study area in Central Italy (Monte Morello Forest) to analyze their effects on C-sequestration and C-stock in all C pools (above-ground and below-ground biomass, deadwood, litter, and soil). It also estimated silvicultural treatment effects on two additional ecosystem services — wood production and recreational activity. A thinning from below and a selective thinning were applied in a degraded coniferous forest to increase the C-sequestration in the medium-long term. The results showed that after the two thinnings,

Abstract:

Study participants rated menu prices with an automatic percentage service gratuity as better deals than equivalent service-included prices when the service component of price was below the standard 15% tipping rate. However, the reverse was true when the service component of price was above 15%. Furthermore, a move from percentage service gratuity toward dollar service gratuity impeded participants’ menu price judgment. These findings provide some insights regarding which pricing alternative to tipping should be implemented if and when restaurateurs decide to abandon voluntary tipping.

The fetal sound environment is now known to be rich and varied. Playback of tapes made from intrauterine recordings of sounds reveals some muffling, suggesting an attenuation of high-frequency sounds at the surface of the abdominal wall and during transmission through abdominal and uterine tissues and fluids. The present experiments show how the spectral features of synthesized musical sounds are altered once they reach the ear of the fetal sheep. Below 300 Hz, intrauterine sound pressure levels are nearly identical to those recorded outside the ewe. Between 315 and 2500 Hz, the attenuation in

Abstract:

How do individuals compare images—for example, two graphs or diagrams—to identify differences between them? We argue that categorical relations between objects play a critical role. These relations divide continuous space into discrete categories, such as “above” and “below,” or “containing” and “overlapping,” which are remembered and compared more easily than precise metric values. These relations should lead to categorical perception, such that viewers find it easier to notice a change that crosses a category boundary (one object is now above, rather than below, another, or now contains, rat

This phenomenon was investigated by Howard et al (1990) who varied both the shading axis relative to gravity and the orientation of the head.

Abstract:

Child vegetable intake falls far below the minimum recommended levels. Knowing which vegetables children may like help those responsible for providing vegetables to children to improve intake. The objective of this study was to measure vegetable liking for a wide variety of vegetables by a racially and ethnically diverse population of 9–12-year old children from low-income families. Children rated their liking of 35 vegetables using a 10-point hedonic scale. We tabulated the number of children that found each vegetable acceptable (ratings of ‘okay’ or above) and the number that found each vege

II. VOR and perceptual responses during combined Tilt&Translation. To compare and contrast the neural mechanisms that contribute to vestibular perception and action, we measured vestibuloocular reflexes (VOR) and perceptions of tilt and translation. We took advantage of the well-known ambiguity that the otolith organs respond to both linear acceleration and tilt with respect to gravity and investigated the mechanisms by which this ambiguity is resolved. A new motion paradigm that combined roll tilt with inter-aural translation (“ Tilt&Translation”) was used; subjects were sinusoidally

Abstract:

Like in the real world, the first impression a person leaves in a computer-mediated environment depends on his or her online appearance. The present study manipulates an avatar’s pupil size, eyeblink frequency, and the viewing angle to investigate whether nonverbal visual characteristics are responsible for the impression made. We assessed how participants (N = 56) evaluate these avatars in terms of different attributes. The findings show that avatars with large pupils and slow eye blink frequency are perceived as more sociable and more attractive. Compared to avatars seen in full frontal view

Drawing on narratives of long-term Bishkek residents and recent internal migrants to the city, we investigate commonalities and divergences in their perception of Ala-Too’s changing image. It is shown why the square, despite its planned multifunctionality, does not fulfill the needs of various segments of the city population. We also analyze po

Cerebral cortical activity associated with perceived visceral sensation represents registration of afferent transduction and cognitive processes related to perception. Abnormalities of gut sensory function can involve either or both of these processes. Cortical registration of subliminal viscerosensory signals represents cerebral cortical activity induced by stimulation of intestinal sensory neurocircuitry without the influence of perception-related cortical activity, whereas those associated with perception represent both neural circuitry and cognitive processes.

Host preferences of Cx. pipiens, a bridge vector for West Nile virus to humans, have the potential to drive pathogen transmission dynamics. Yet much remains unknown about the extent of variation in these preferences and their molecular basis. We conducted host choice assays in a laboratory setting to quantify multi-day human and avian landing rates for Cx. pipiens females. Assayed populations originated from five above-ground and three below-ground breeding and overwintering habitats. All three below-ground populations were biased toward human landings, with rates of human landing ranging from

If two small objects (probes), separated horizontally by several degrees, are displayed in front of such a surface, the depth of the probes is perceived relative to the perceived slant of the background surface, leading to systematic misperception of the point of subjective equality (PSE) of the distances of the probes from the observer (Mitchison and Westheimer, 1984 Vision Research24 1063 – 1073; Gillam et al, 1993 Perception22 Supplement, 35).

Although communication through mycorrhizal networks and Volatile Organic Compounds has been known for a long time, acoustic perception and communication are somehow a final frontier of research.

After viewing a blank region surrounded by a dynamic noise stimulus, viewers report the perception of prolonged dynamic twinkle in the unstimulated blank region. This twinkle aftereffect may be induced over long ranges in the visual field, up to 10° from the edge of the noise in central vision. Our previous studies of the properties of this aftereffect suggested mediation by the magnocellular processing system. We therefore evaluated the properties predicted by the magnocellular hypothesis by varying the coloring, the temporal and the spatial frequency of the stimulus. No aftereffect could be
