The Multisensory Driver: Contributions From the Time–Window–of–Integration Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we sketch a specific framework developed to describe and predict crossmodal effects in orienting responses. The time-window-of-integration (TWIN) model postulates that a crossmodal stimulus triggers a race mechanism in the early peripheral sensory pathways, then followed by a compound stage of converging subprocesses that comprise neural integration of the input and preparation of a response. We describe the model in the context of a focused attention task and outline its potential for informing the design of multisensory warning signals.

Designing Driver Assistance Systems with Crossmodal Signals: Multisensory Integration Rules for Saccadic Reaction Times Apply
Modern driver assistance systems make increasing use of auditory and tactile signals in order to reduce the driver's visual information load. This entails potential crossmodal interaction effects that need to be taken into account in designing an optimal system. Here we show that saccadic reaction times to visual targets (cockpit or outside mirror), presented in a driving simulator environment ...
متن کاملAssessing age-related multisensory enhancement with the time-window-of-integration model.
Although from multisensory research a great deal is known about how the different senses interact, there is little knowledge as to the impact of aging on these multisensory processes. In this study, we measured saccadic reaction time (SRT) of aged and young individuals to the onset of a visual target stimulus with and without an accessory auditory stimulus occurring (focused attention task). Th...
متن کاملMultisensory spatial interactions: a window onto functional integration in the human brain.
Incoming signals from different sensory modalities are initially processed in separate brain regions. But because these different signals can arise from common events or objects in the external world, integration between them can be useful. Such integration is subject to spatial and temporal constraints, presumably because a common source is more likely for information arising from around the s...
متن کاملMultisensory interaction in saccadic reaction time: a time-window-of-integration model.
Saccadic reaction time to visual targets tends to be faster when stimuli from another modality (in particular, audition and touch) are presented in close temporal or spatial proximity even when subjects are instructed to ignore the accessory input (focused attention task). Multisensory interaction effects measured in neural structures involved in saccade generation (in particular, the superior ...

Customer service level is of prime importance in today competitive world and has various dimensions with delivery quality being one of the most important ones. Delivery quality has several parameters such as deliver time window options, time window size, etc. In this paper we focus on one of these parameters, namely time window setting. It has a direct impact upon customer satisfaction and busi...
