Three experiments investigated 4.5-month-old infants' perception of the unity and boundaries of haptically presented objects. When infants actively explored the two handles of an unseen object assembly, perception of the unity of the assembly depended on the handles' motion. Infants perceived a single, connected object if the handles moved rigidly together, and they perceived two distinct objec...

Previous research stresses that system justifying belief can weaken corruption perception, by this possibly fostering unjust behaviors. However, general results of the effect of general system justification on corruption are ambiguous, indicating also a lessening impact. We conducted a line of studies trying to elucidate these circumstances by testing the effect of general system justification ...

Abstract Image perception plays a fundamental role in the tomography-based approaches for microstructure characterization and has deep impact on all subsequent stages of image processing, such as segmentation 3D analysis. The enhancement perception, however, frequently involves observer-dependence, which reflects user-to-user dispersion uncertainties calculated parameters. This work presents an...

The computer vision research aims at a better understanding of the human visual system and building artificial visual systems. Vision researchers in psychology and physiology have explored biological visual systems including the human vision, and obtained much knowledge on nature and architecture of their visual information processing. For example, some of previous results in experimental psych...

Tribology is an emerging technique in the pharmaceutical field for texture and mouthfeel studies. Due to its relevance oral sensory perception, tribology supports development of novel products food industry. This study explores as a tool optimise ease swallowing coatings coated tablets. We measured lubricating properties eight using two methods: surface thin film tribology. As science more adva...

Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) repetition suppression, we explored the selectivity of the human action perception system (APS), which consists of temporal, parietal and frontal areas, for the appearance and/or motion of the perceived agent. Participants watched body movements of a human (biological appearance and movement), a robot (mechanical appearance and movement) or an ...

This paper is about modeling perception-action loops and, more precisely, the study of the influence of motor knowledge during perception tasks. We use the Bayesian Action-Perception (BAP) model, which deals with the sensorimotor loop involved in reading and writing cursive isolated letters and includes an internal simulation of movement loop. By using this probabilistic model we simulate lette...

this paper has been created in order to study the role of the meaning in creating a sense of place and in order to answer the questions about that, the meaning factor in each of its types- including the meanings that are in the mind of the human beings and the meanings that are in the place- can make which levels of meaning and also it is about that, how to achieve the various levels of sense o...
