Passive, active and intra-active (self) touch.
A series of experiments are described in which magnitude estimates of the perceived size of steel balls were made when the balls were actively rolled between the fingertip and several other body sites (thumb, thenar eminence, forearm). This movement, called scripting, involves actively moving an object by a touching surface over another surface of the body which is passively being touched. We d...
متن کاملTax Avoidance and Institutional Ownership: Active vs. Passive Ownership
Income tax is one of the most important costs of companies and it is usually considered as a cost that should not be paid. One of the most noticeable and influential factors in tax avoidance is corporate ownership structure. With an emphasis on institutional ownership and its types in this paper, it is attempted to measure the effect of this ownership and its types on corporate tax avoidance. F...
متن کاملFast Feedback in Active Sensing: Touch-Induced Changes to Whisker-Object Interaction
Whisking mediated touch is an active sense whereby whisker movements are modulated by sensory input and behavioral context. Here we studied the effects of touching an object on whisking in head-fixed rats. Simultaneous movements of whiskers C1, C2, and D1 were tracked bilaterally and their movements compared. During free-air whisking, whisker protractions were typically characterized by a singl...
متن کاملPassive and Active Touch – Preliminary Report
The TOUCH-HapSys collaborative project investigates the psychophysical basis of human tactual perception in order to improve the efficiency and reliability of haptic displays. The present deliverable reports on the progress made in investigations on the basic tactual modes of active and passive touch. In psychophysical experiments MPI-T started to examine the principles of cue integration for a...
متن کاملPassive sensing and active sensing of a biomimetic whisker
Rodents demonstrate an outstanding capability of texture discrimination and shape recognition with their whiskers (vibrissae). Many neurophysiological and behavioural studies reported that active whisking plays a critical role on tactile perception. However, the role and limitation of passive sensing has not been studied in detail. In this paper, we compare passive sensing and active sensing fo...
