Report Number 541 Responses to the Underwater Distortions of Visual Stimuli
نویسندگان
چکیده
Results are reported on two aspects of underwater vision, apparent distance and hand-eye coordination. The accuracy of distance estimates underwater varies greatly from underestimation at near distances, to overestimation at far distances. Viewing through turbid water rather than clear water greatly increases the tendency toward overestimation. The ability of subjects to perform motor responses adequately using the distorted stimulation underwater has been measured and shown to vary with the time spent in underwater activities.

متن کاملAffective Visual Stimuli: Characterization of the Picture Sequences Impacts by Means of Nonlinear Approaches
Introduction: The main objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of preceding pictorial stimulus on the emotional autonomic responses of the subsequent one. Methods: To this effect, physiological signals, including Electrocardiogram (ECG), Pulse Rate (PR), and Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) were collected. As these signals have random and chaotic nature, nonlinear dynamics...
متن کاملThe responses of horses to predator stimuli
It is not known whether the instincts of wild horses have remained strong during their centuries of domestication. Knowledge of this matter would give riders the opportunity to know more about the behavior of horses and consequently about safety for both horses and riders. In this current research, we studied the behavior of fifteen Caspian miniature horses of different ages and sexes using sti...
متن کاملA topology control algorithm for autonomous underwater robots in three-dimensional space using PSO
Recently, data collection from seabed by means of underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSN) has attracted considerable attention. Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are increasingly used as UWSNs in underwater missions. Events and environmental parameters in underwater regions have a stochastic nature. The target area must be covered by sensors to observe and report events. A ‘topology cont...
متن کاملStress and Perception of Emotional Stimuli: Long-term Stress Rewiring the Brain
Introduction: Long-term stressful situations can drastically influence one’s mental life. However, the effect of mental stress on recognition of emotional stimuli needs to be explored. In this study, recognition of emotional stimuli in a stressful situation was investigated. Four emotional conditions, including positive and negative states in both low and high levels of arousal were analy...
