The Interactive Track investigation at Rutgers concentrated primarily on three factors: the searchers’ uses and understandings of relevance feedback and ranked output, and the utility of relevance feedback for the interactive track task; the searchers’ understandings of the interactive track task; and performance differences based on topic characteristics and searcher and order effects. Our off...

In-air hand gestures allow users to interact with mobile phones without reaching out and touching them. Users need helpful and meaningful feedback while they gesture, although mobile phones have limited feedback capabilities because of their small screen sizes. Interactive light feedback illuminates the surface surrounding a mobile phone, giving users visual feedback over a larger area and with...

The ability to display virtual objects midair that can be seen without special headwear is an attractive proposition for the reality systems of near future. Volumetric technologies have demonstrated this concept, allowing users view with real dimensions in 3D space while enabling some forms interaction. Developments been witnessed haptic feedback which are used deliver a sensation touch digital...

PURPOSE Motor imagery can improve motor function and reduce pain. This is relevant to individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) in whom motor dysfunction and neuropathic pain are prevalent. However, therapy efficacy could be dependent on motor imagery ability, and a clear understanding of how motor imagery might be facilitated is currently lacking. Thus, the aim of the present study was to asse...

Human perception, cognition, and action requires fast integration of bottom-up signals with top-down knowledge and context. A key theoretical perspective in cognitive science is the interactive activation hypothesis: forward and backward flow in bidirectionally connected neural networks allows humans and other biological systems to approximate optimal integration of bottom-up and top-down infor...
