Going round in circles: shape effects in the Ebbinghaus illusion.
The Ebbinghaus illusion has traditionally been considered as either a sensory or a cognitive illusion, or some combination of these two. Cognitive contrast explanations take support from the way the illusion varies with the degree of shape similarity between the test and inducing elements; we show, however, that contour interaction explanations may account for this result too. We therefore test...
متن کاملGoing around in circles
Let ε > 0 and let Ω be a disk of sufficiently large radius R in the plane, i. e., R ≥ R(ε). We first show that the set of lattice points inside Ω can be connected by a (possibly selfintersecting) spanning tour (Hamiltonian cycle) consisting of straight line edges such that the turning angle at each point on the tour is at most ε. This statement remains true for any large and evenly distributed ...
متن کاملGoing Round in Circles: Landauer vs. Norton on the Thermodynamics of Computation
There seems to be a consensus among physicists that there is a connection between information processing and thermodynamics. In particular, Landauer’s Principle (LP) is widely assumed as part of the foundation of information theoretic/computational reasoning in diverse areas of physics including cosmology. It is also often appealed to in discussions about Maxwell’s demon and the status of the S...
متن کاملMechanosensation: Swimming round in circles
Studies of inherited deafness disorders in mice and humans are providing new insights into the basis of hair-cell mechanosensitivity; this enterprise has been joined by large-scale genetic screening in the zebrafish, where a number of intriguing mutants defective in mechanosensation have recently been described.
متن کاملGoing in Circles: Variations on the Money-Coutts Theorem
Given a polygon A1, . . . , An, consider the chain of circles: S1 inscribed in the angle A1, S2 inscribed in the angle A2 and tangent to S1, S3 inscribed in the angle A3 and tangent to S2, etc. We describe a class of n-gons for which this process is 2n-periodic. We extend the result to the case when the sides of a polygon are arcs of circles. The case of triangles is known as the Money-Coutts t...
