Apperception as a Multisensory Process in Material Experience

2015

Visual perspective has dominated experience research in humantechnology interaction for decades now. The neglect of other sensory modalities is gradually being addressed by scholars and designers, who investigate user experience based on touch, smell, taste, sound and even expressive bodily interactions. In cognitive and affective processes, user experience is always multi-modal, not just regarding perceived multi-sensory information, but also while perceiving through one modality we mentally construct information relevant to the other senses. This article reports the results of an experiment, where participants (N = 52) appraised materials either only by touching them or only by seeing. Th…

Methods for estimating forest stem volumes by tree species using digital surface model and CIR images taken from light UAS

2012

In this paper we consider methods for estimating forest tree stem volumes by species using images taken from light unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Instead of using LiDAR and additional multiband imagery a color infrared camera mounted to a light UAS is used to acquire both imagery and the DSM of target area. The goal of this study is to accurately estimate tree stem volumes in three classes. The status of the ongoing work is described and an initial method for delineating and classifying treetops is presented.

Effects of Temperature and Humidity on Radio Signal Strength in Outdoor Wireless Sensor Networks

2015

Many wireless sensor networks operating outdoors are exposed to changing weather conditions, which may cause severe degradation in system performance. Therefore, it is essential to explore the factors affecting radio link quality in order to mitigate their impact and to adapt to varying conditions. In this paper, we study the effects of temperature and humidity on radio signal strength in outdoor wireless sensor networks. Experimental measurements were performed using Atmel ZigBit 2.4GHz wireless modules, both in summer and wintertime. We employed all the radio channels specified by IEEE 802.15.4 for 2.4GHz ISM frequency band with two transmit power levels. The results show that changes in …

Visual understanding of divergence and curl: Visual cues promote better learning

2019

Prior research has shown that students struggle to indicate whether vector field plots have zero or non-zero curl or divergence. In an instruction-based eye-tracking study, we investigated whether visual cues (VC) provided in the vector field plot can foster students’ understanding of these concepts. The VC were only present during instruction and highlighted conceptual information about vector decomposition and partial derivatives. Thirty-two physics majors were assigned to two groups, one was instructed with VC about the problemsolving strategy, and one without. The results show that students in VC-condition performed better, responded with higher confidence, experienced less mental effor…

Análisis del procesamiento local y global en adolescentes con trastorno del espectro autista de alto funcionamiento (síndrome de Asperger)

2017

El síndrome de Asperger (SA), actualmente incluido en el Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA), es el perfil cognitivo dentro del autismo que más cercano se encuentra al perfil de desarrollo típico, debido a que no muestra deterioro intelectual ni del lenguaje (a excepción de los procesos más complejos). La adolescencia es un período del desarrollo en el que la maduración física y sexual así como los cambios psicológicos y sociales se van dando progresivamente en la persona, que abandona la infancia para ir adentrándose progresivamente en la etapa adulta. La mayor capacidad de adaptación de las personas con SA (respecto al autismo de bajo funcionamiento) tiene como consecuencia que las mayor…

Influencia de la tarea dual y la restricción sensorial sobre el control postural en los adolescentes de 13 a 18 años

2020

El presente proyecto tiene como principal objetivo analizar la influencia de la maduración, de las tareas duales y de la restricción de información sensorial en el control postural de los adolescentes. Para ello se han diseñado tres estudios diferentes con una muestra compuesta por adolescentes de entre 13 a 18 años. En el estudio 1 se pretende analizar las diferencias en la estabilidad postural unipodal en función del sexo y la edad de los adolescentes de 13 a 18 años. Los resultados obtenidos muestran unos valores más elevados en las variables área de la elipse, velocidad media antero-posterior y medio-lateral en los chicos que en las chicas. Además, los adolescentes de 14 años muestran u…

Creation of a food taste database using an in-home profile method

2013

Poster (1 page) ; http://www.pangborn2013.com/; International audience; The purpose of this study was to create a food taste database using an innovative in-home profile method and to have an overview on the sensory sapid world we face in our diet. The intensity of salty, sweet, acid and bitter tastes were scored using universal scales proposed within the Spectrum™ method (Muñoz and Civille, 1992) and newly developed scales for umami taste and fattiness. The in-home taste profile method was composed of two phases. The first phase consisted in an intensive training in laboratory (55 h). The second one was the in-home measurements phase (8 months) during which 12 panellists had to rate the ta…
