Multisensory Interaction: Real and Virtual

Human physical interaction is inherently multisensory, using vision, touch, hearing, and other senses. We discuss the constraints and opportunities for constructing computational models for multisensory interaction. Such models could be used to develop better robots and human interfaces, and to understand human interaction.

Improving Interactive Multisensory Simulation and Rendering Through Focus On Perceptual Processes

OF THE DISSERTATION Improving Interactive Multisensory Simulation and Rendering Through Focus On Perceptual Processes by Timothy Edmunds Dissertation Director: Dinesh K. Pai In this dissertation we present a novel approach to the design of multisensory interactive applications. We develop methods that improve the effectiveness of this type of application by incorporating the existing understand...

Using Bayes' Rule to Model Multisensory Enhancement in the Superior Colliculus

The deep layers of the superior colliculus (SC) integrate multisensory inputs and initiate an orienting response toward the source of stimulation (target). Multisensory enhancement, which occurs in the deep SC, is the augmentation of a neural response to sensory input of one modality by input of another modality. Multisensory enhancement appears to underlie the behavioral observation that an an...

Gene Augmentation Therapy for a Missense Substitution in the cGMP-Binding Domain of Ovine CNGA3 Gene Restores Vision in Day-Blind Sheep

Purpose Applying CNGA3 gene augmentation therapy to cure a novel causative mutation underlying achromatopsia (ACHM) in sheep. Methods Impaired vision that spontaneously appeared in newborn lambs was characterized by behavioral, electroretinographic (ERG), and histologic techniques. Deep-sequencing reads of an affected lamb and an unaffected lamb were compared within conserved genomic regions ...
