design motifs of ancient Mexico are optical art as are the Roman mosaic floors at Antioch. All of which proves the obvious, namely, that man has always been in possession of a magnificent scanning device (the eyeball), a fabulous selective light detector (the retina), and a fantastic interconnected digital computer (the brain). If optical art has an immediate appeal to the untutored eye so much...

Haptic perception is bidirectionally related to exploratory movements, which means that exploration influences perception, but perception also influences exploration. We can optimize or change exploratory movements according to the perception and/or the task, consciously or unconsciously. This paper presents a psychophysical experiment on active roughness perception to investigate movement chan...

Language acquisition and language learning among scientists tend to be different. This is based on the fact that process supported unconsciously limited a certain time. Meanwhile, can done consciously not by Through these two arguments, according Stephen Krashen has characteristics. He believes obtained in adults. Based this information, researcher wants describe analyze philosophy encourages d...

1. Introduction. A century ago Daniel Jones, the great describer and codifier of the Received Pronunciation of English (RP), was ten years old. He was born in 1881, so by 1891 we may assume that his own pronunciation (on which he doubtless based his description) was fixed in its essentials. Insofar as teachers of English Phonetics or English as a Foreign Language base their teaching on Jones's ...

Neuroimaging studies of speech processing increasingly rely on artificial speech-like sounds whose perceptual status as speech or non-speech is assigned by simple subjective judgments; brain activation patterns are interpreted according to these status assignments. The naïve perceptual status of one such stimulus, spectrally-rotated speech (not consciously perceived as speech by naïve subjects)...

When interacting with an interactive system to achieve a goal, a user utilizes his or her existing knowledge and constructs new knowledge consciously or unconsciously. Throughout the active process of knowledge exchange, accumulation and generation, the user’s mental models of the target system are built and constantly modified over time in order to obtain a desirable result. According to Drisc...

The neural correlates of true memory formation (TMF) and false memory formation (FMF) were investigated using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Using a parametric subsequent memory paradigm, encoding activity was analyzed as a function of whether it predicted subsequent hits to targets (TMF activity) or subsequent false alarms to critical lures (FMF activity). The fMRI analyses yiel...

Building on research on unconscious human goal pursuit and the dynamic nature of our mental and physical world, this study examined the idea that an unconsciously activated goal hijacks executive control for its own attainment. This "hijacking" of the executive function by an unconscious goal should be evidenced by impaired performance on an unrelated task relying on executive control. The resu...
