27 Electrophysiology in primates has implicated long-range neural coherence as a potential 28 mechanism for enhancing sensory detection. To test whether local synchronization and long29 range neural coherence supports detection performance in rats, we recorded local field potentials 30 (LFPs) in frontal and parietal cortex while rats performed an auditory detection task. We 31 observed signific...

Sound-induced flash illusions, first described in 2000, provide a valid example of perception as a multisensorial experience where all sensorial modalities work together. Audio-visual illusions can be classified in “fission” and “fusion” illusions. Whether one flash is accompanied by two or three auditory stimuli (or beeps), it’s often perceived as multiple flashes (fission illusion), by contra...

Previous studies have shown that in tasks requiring participants to report the direction of apparent motion, task-irrelevant mono-beeps can "capture" visual motion perception when the beeps occur temporally close to the visual stimuli. However, the contributions of the relative timing of multimodal events and the event structure, modulating uni- and/or crossmodal perceptual grouping, remain unc...

The traffic accident has been one of the first ten death factors in Taiwan for past years. The published statistical data showed that the number of casualties has gradually increased, and indicated that the main cause of traffic accident was the negligence by drivers, nearly twenty percent of the total amount of accidents every year in Taiwan. Many published researches about driving safety poin...

A popular model for the representation of time in the brain posits the existence of a single, central-clock. In that framework, temporal distortions in perception are explained by contracting or expanding time over a given interval. We here present evidence for an alternative account, one which proposes multiple independent timelines coexisting within the brain and stresses the importance of mo...

While humans actually need some overt communication channel to transmit information, be it verbally or nonverbally, robots could use their network connection information quickly other robots. This raises the question how this covert robot-robot is perceived by humans. The current study investigates transparency about happening between two affects humans’ trust in and perception of these as well...

Since the government elevated rural revitalization strategy to national level in 2018, work has been effectively promoted and developed across country, but there is a “double-edge” type that deserves attention.They are on edge of social attention investment because they not listed List Traditional Villages or Beautiful Village, often have great potential for tourism development by virtue geogra...

Background: : Rugby league involves repeated, complex, and high intensity change-of-direction (COD) movements with no existing test protocols that specifically assesses these multiple physical fitness components simultaneously. Thus, the current study examined convergent validity of a repeated Illinois Agility (RIA) protocol T-agility protocol, r...

Graphical user interface toolkits exhibit striking similarities in functionality and visual appearance. Yet, each one demands adherence to its proprietary implementation interface from the application developer. Platform-independent solutions exist, but their perceived drawbacks hinder large-scale adaption. This thesis provides a new perspective by complementing platform abstraction with other ...
