How Many Clocks, How Many Times? On the Sensory Basis and Computational Challenges of Circadian Systems
2018
A vital task for every organism is not only to decide what to do but also when to do it. For this reason, “circadian clocks” have evolved in virtually all forms of life. Conceptually, circadian clocks can be divided into two functional domains; an autonomous oscillator creates a ~24 h self-sustained rhythm and sensory machinery interprets external information to alter the phase of the autonomous oscillation. It is through this simple design that variations in external stimuli (for example, daylight) can alter our sense of time. However, the clock’s simplicity ends with its basic concept. In metazoan animals, multiple external and internal stimuli, from light to temperature and even metaboli…
Influence of interaction techniques o n VIMS in virtual environments : estimation and prediction
2014
Understanding oculo-vestibular dynamics during sensory rearrangement in the central nervous system plays an extremely important role in better understanding human perception, and improves the technology in many engineering fields. Besides, the sensory conflict that occurs between ocular, vestibular and proprioception during sensory rearrangement at certain occasions might adversely affect the user performance in a wide variety of domains including flight/car simulators, scale-one 3D systems, large-scale displays, serious games, and so on. Therefore, knowing the condition in which the sensory conflict happens has a great deal of importance. This study aims at understanding the nature of sens…
