Perceptual grouping leads to objecthood effects in the Ebbinghaus illusion

Michael Herzog, Aline Françoise Cretenoud, Einat Rashal

The Ebbinghaus illusion is argued to be a product of low-level contour interactions or a higher cognitive comparison process. We examined the effect of grouping on the illusion by manipulating objecthood, i.e., the degree to which an object is a cohesive p ...

Uncontrolled manifold analysis of the effects of a perturbation-based training on the organization of leg joint variance in cerebellar ataxia

Silvestro Micera

Walking patterns of persons affected by cerebellar ataxia (CA) are characterized by wide stride-to-stride variability ascribable to: the background pathology-related sensory-motor noise; the motor redundancy, i.e., an excess of elemental degrees of freedom ...

Joint Inertial Sensor Orientation Drift Reduction for Highly Dynamic Movements

Kamiar Aminian, Benedikt Fasel, Julien Chardonnens

Inertial sensor drift is usually corrected on a single-sensor unit level. When multiple sensor units are used, mutual information from different units can be exploited for drift correction. This study introduces a method for a drift-reduced estimation of t ...

Mobility law of dislocations with several character angles and temperatures in FCC Aluminum

Jean-François Molinari, Guillaume Anciaux, Jaehyun Cho

We study the mobility law of dislocations in aluminum as an important building block for the development of a multiscale method that couples an atomistic model with discrete dislocation dynamics in 3d (\eg CADD3d). Straight dislocations of arbitrary charac ...

Gyre formation in open and deep lacustrine embayments: The example of Lake Geneva, Switzerland

David Andrew Barry, Alfred Johny Wüest, Ulrich Lemmin, Damien Bouffard, Amir Mehdi Razmi, Robert Eduard Uittenbogaard

Numerical simulations were carried out to investigate gyres within open lacustrine embayments subjected to parallel-to-shore currents. In such embayments, gyre formation occurs due to flow separation at the embayment’s upstream edge. High momentum fluid fr ...
