Seeing Clearly and Moving Forward

Defining Integrated Knowledge Translation and Moving Forward: A Response to Recent Commentaries

Going, going, gone: localizing abrupt offsets of moving objects.

When a moving object abruptly disappears, this profoundly influences its localization by the visual system. In Experiment 1, 2 aligned objects moved across the screen, and 1 of them abruptly disappeared. Observers reported seeing the objects misaligned at the time of the offset, with the continuing object leading. Experiment 2 showed that the perceived forward displacement of the moving object ...

RNA and Memory: From Feeding to Localization

Ideas about the role of RNA in learning and memory have a checkered past. A new study in Drosophila, synthesizing classical forward genetics with DNA microarrays, brings us closer to seeing that role clearly.

Testing the cuing hypothesis for the AV speech detection advantage

Seeing the moving face of the talker permits better detection of speech in noise compared to not seeing their face. We report on an experiment that examined the basis of this AV facilitation effect. This work follows up research by [1] and [2] that developed a procedure for demonstrating an AV speech detection effect and [3] that showed that this facilitation occurred regardless of whether part...

Vibration Suppression of Simply Supported Beam under a Moving Mass using On-Line Neural Network Controller

In this paper, model reference neural network structure is used as a controller for vibration suppression of the Euler–Bernoulli beam under the excitation of moving mass travelling along a vibrating path. The non-dimensional equation of motion the beam acted upon by a moving mass is achieved.  A Dirac-delta function is used to describe the position of the moving mass along the beam and its iner...
