Kinesthesis can make an invisible hand visible.
Self-generated body movements have reliable visual consequences. This predictive association between vision and action likely underlies modulatory effects of action on visual processing. However, it is unknown whether actions can have generative effects on visual perception. We asked whether, in total darkness, self-generated body movements are sufficient to evoke normally concomitant visual pe...
متن کاملSpatial frequency adaptation can enhance contrast sensitivity.
A~~ct-Adaptation to a high-contr~t sinusoid& ium~nan~ grating produces a temporary, bandlimited loss in sensitivity centered around the adaptation frequency. The decrease appears to be both narrower and more symmetrical than earlier reports suggest. The effect falls to zero by f f 1 octave and is not reliably present from f f 1 octave to f k 2 octaves. Enhancement of contrast sensitivity occurs...
متن کاملAdaptation from invisible flicker.
Human ability to resolve temporal variation, or flicker, in the luminance (brightness) or chromaticity (color) of an image declines with increasing frequency and is limited, within the central visual field, to a critical flicker frequency of approximately 50 and 25 Hz, respectively. Much remains unknown about the neural filtering that underlies this frequency-dependent attenuation of flicker se...
متن کاملEditorial Will ubicomp make GIS invisible ?
While speculating about the future of computers in the 21st century, Mark Weiser argued back in 1991 that ‘‘the most profound technologies are those that disappear. They weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are indistinguishable from it (p. 94).’’ Although the computer as we know it has not vanished as Weiser (1991) predicted, recent advances in ubiquitous computing (ubi...
متن کاملIllusory Visual Completion of an Object’s Invisible Backside Can Make Your Finger Feel Shorter
In a well-known magic trick known as multiplying balls, conjurers fool their audience with the use of a semi-spherical shell, which the audience perceives as a complete ball [1]. Here, we report that this illusion persists even when observers touch the inside of the shell with their own finger. Even more intriguingly, this also produces an illusion of bodily self-awareness in which the finger f...
