Multi-Frequency Tracking via Group-Sparse Optimal Transport

In this letter, we introduce an optimal transport framework for inferring power distributions over both spatial location and temporal frequency. Recently, it has been shown that optimal transport is a powerful tool for estimating spatial spectra that chang ...

Wave-momentum shaping for moving objects in heterogeneous and dynamic media

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Bakhtiyar Orazbayev, Matthieu Francis Malléjac, Stefan Rotter

Light and sound waves can move objects through the transfer of linear or angular momentum, which has led to the development of optical and acoustic tweezers, with applications ranging from biomedical engineering to quantum optics. Although impressive manip ...

Probabilistic and Deterministic Wellposedness for Low Regularity Dispersive Equations

Katie Sabrina Catherine Rosie Marsden

In this thesis we will present two results on global existence for nonlinear dispersive equations with data at or below the scaling regularity. In chapter 1 we take a probabilistic perspective to study the energy-critical nonlinear Schrödinger equation in ...

Evaluating contrast sensitivity in early and intermediate age-related Macular Degeneration with the Quick Contrast Sensitivity Function

Michael Herzog, Simona Adele Garobbio

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe, validate, and compare the contrast sensitivity functions (CSFs) acquired with the novel quick CSF (qCSF) method from patients with early and intermediate age-related macular degeneration (eAMD and iAMD) a ...

The effects of visual distractors on serial dependence

David Pascucci

Attractive serial dependence occurs when perceptual decisions are attracted toward previous stimuli. This effect is mediated by spatial attention and is most likely to occur when similar stimuli are attended at nearby locations. Attention, however, also in ...

Generation of OAM-carrying space-time wave packets with time-dependent beam radii using a coherent combination of multiple LG modes on multiple frequencies

Tobias Kippenberg, Maxim Karpov, Zhe Zhao, Hao Song, Xinzhou Su

Space-time (ST) wave packets, in which spatial and temporal characteristics are coupled, have gained attention due to their unique propagation characteristics, such as propagation invariance and tunable group velocity in addition to their potential ability ...

Experimental and modeling-based analysis of reaction pathways on catalysts for natural gas engines under periodic lean/rich oscillations

Oliver Kröcher, Davide Ferri, Moyu Wang

Methane (CH4) has the prospective of becoming one of the major energy carriers for heavy-duty mobility, but its catalytic abatement remains a challenge. CH4 abatement reaction pathways were analyzed using targeted periodic lean/rich oscillations, which res ...

The spectral bias of polynomial neural networks

Volkan Cevher, Grigorios Chrysos, Leello Tadesse Dadi, Moulik Choraria

Polynomial neural networks (PNNs) have been recently shown to be particularly effective at image generation and face recognition, where high-frequency information is critical. Previous studies have revealed that neural networks demonstrate a spectral bias ...

Characterization of High Harmonic Frequencies in Reactor Noise Experiments Within the CORTEX Project

Andreas Pautz, Vincent Pierre Lamirand

We present a novel technique of neutron noise detection and experimental data interpretation developed during the EU H2020 project CORTEX aiming to improve the capabilities for identification and localization of neutron noise sources. The experimental data ...

The effect of low-frequency equalisation on preference and sensorimotor synchronisation in music

Steffen Alexander Herff

Equalisation, a signal processing technique commonly used to shape the sound of music, is defined as the adjustment of the energy in specific frequency components of a signal. In this work, we investigate the effects of equalisation on preference and senso ...

Serial dependence does not originate from low-level visual processing

Michael Herzog, David Pascucci, Gizay Ceylan

Perception depends not only on the current sensory input but also on the preceding history of stimuli. In serial dependence (SD), for example, the orientation of a Gabor patch is mistakenly reported as more similar to previous trials than it actually is. T ...

Blind as a bat: spatial perception without sight

Frederike Dümbgen

Among our five senses, we rely mostly on audition and vision to perceive an environment. Our ears are able to detect stimuli from all directions, especially from obstructed and far-away objects. Even in smoke, harsh weather conditions, or at night â situ ...

Tactile spatial discrimination on the torso using vibrotactile and force stimulation

Olaf Blanke, Oliver Alan Kannape, Masayuki Hara, Matteo Franza

There is a steadily growing number of mobile communication systems that provide spatially encoded tactile information to the humans’ torso. However, the increased use of such hands-off displays is currently not matched with or supported by systematic perce ...

Morphological Neural Computation Restores Discrimination of Naturalistic Textures in Trans-radial Amputees

Silvestro Micera, Francesco Maria Petrini, Simone Romeni, Ivo Strauss, Giacomo Valle, Fabrizio Vecchio, Roberto Puddu

Humans rely on their sense of touch to interact with the environment. Thus, restoring lost tactile sensory capabilities in amputees would advance their quality of life. In particular, texture discrimination is an important component for the interaction wit ...

Window Size Effects on Subjective Impressions of Daylit Spaces: Indoor Studies at High Latitudes Using Virtual Reality

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Kynthia Chamilothori

Daylight provision to the indoor space is affected by different building elements that cannot be fully controlled by the users, such as the window size of a space. The dimensions of the fenestration not only affect the lighting levels, but they also affect ...

Dynamic response of a compressible binary fluid mixture

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

Binary fluids are present in a wide variety of systems at microscales, such as microfluidic devices containing drops, fluids with air bubbles trapped in them, and devices designed to mix fluids or to make two fluid substances react. Microfluidics devices a ...

Nonlinear states and dynamics in a synthetic frequency dimension

Tobias Kippenberg, Aleksandr Tusnin, Alexey Tikan

Recent advances in the study of synthetic dimensions revealed a possibility to employ the frequency space as an additional degree of freedom which allows for investigating and exploiting higher-dimensional phenomena in a priori low-dimensional systems. How ...

A Novel Spatial-Angular Domain Regularisation Approach for Restoration of Diffusion MRI

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Alessandro Daducci, Alessandro Mella

In this paper we tackle the problem of regularisation for inverse problems in single shell diffusion weighted image restoration. Our aim is to recover a high-resolution and denoised DWI signal, prior to any model fitting. The main contribution of our metho ...

What is the 'spectral diet' of humans?

Marilyne Andersen, Forrest Simon Webler, Manuel Spitschan

Our visual perception of the world - seeing form and colour or navigating the environment - depends on the interaction of light and matter in the environment. Light also has a more fundamental role in regulating rhythms in physiology and behaviour, as well ...

Dot pattern generation using thick sinusoidal phase grating under Gaussian beam illumination

Toralf Scharf, Maryam Yousefi

Far-field dot pattern generation is analyzed for a Gaussian beam source that illuminates a sinusoidal phase grating which is placed at a certain distance behind the beam waist. We obtain a bigger field of view with more numbers of points using a Gaussian b ...
