Path integration is based upon the use of sensory information to perceive the angles turned and distances traversed by the body as it moves through the world [1]. Perception of the distances traveled during navigation is known to depend upon sources of visual and non-visual information. Non-visual information has been shown to principally rely upon information derived from the movements of the ...

Research in user authentication has been a growing field in HCI. Previous studies have shown that peoples’ graphical memory can be used to increase password memorability. On the other hand, with the increasing number of devices with built-in motion sensors, kinesthetic memory (or muscle memory) can also be exploited for authentication. This paper presents a novel knowledge-based authentication ...

Dobson JL. Learning style preferences and course performance in an undergraduate physiology class. Adv Physiol Educ 33: 308–314, 2009; doi:10.1152/advan.00048.2009.—Learning styles may be classified according to the sensory modality that one most prefers to use when internalizing information. The four major sensory modalities are visual, aural or auditory, read/write, and kinesthetic. The purpo...

Sensing movements of the upper and lower extremities is important in controlling whole-body movements. We have shown that kinesthetic illusory hand movements activate motor areas and right-sided fronto-parietal cortices. We investigated whether illusions for the upper and lower extremities, i.e. right or left hand or foot, activate the somatotopical sections of motor areas, and if an illusion f...
