Multisensory Learning Cues Using Analytical Collision Detection between a Needle and a Tube

چکیده
We are developing a Virtual Reality based training system for micromanipulation in collaboration with the National University Hospital in Singapore. While conventional approaches judge a virtual environment by its resemblance to the real environment, we use simple environments with only selected features of the real task, and develop fast algorithms to investigate the learning of dexterity primitives using various multi-sensory cues. For the needle maneuvering primitive, this paper introduces a method using stereographic projection to compute the distance between the curved needle and a curved tube, necessary to investigate multi-sensory cues systematically. This analytical algorithm is shown to be faster by orders of magnitude than numerical ones. The computation time barely increases with increasing precision, a critical condition to simulate the microworld.

متن کاملIncidental learning in a multisensory environment across childhood
Multisensory information has been shown to modulate attention in infants and facilitate learning in adults, by enhancing the amodal properties of a stimulus. However, it remains unclear whether this translates to learning in a multisensory environment across middle childhood, and particularly in the case of incidental learning. One hundred and eighty-one children aged between 6 and 10 years par...
متن کاملObjective Fidelity Evaluation in Multisensory Virtual Environments: Auditory Cue Fidelity in Flight Simulation
We argue that objective fidelity evaluation of virtual environments, such as flight simulation, should be human-performance-centred and task-specific rather than measure the match between simulation and physical reality. We show how principled experimental paradigms and behavioural models to quantify human performance in simulated environments that have emerged from research in multisensory per...
متن کاملA Qualitative Analysis of the Language Learning Experiences of Students with Dyslexia
Objective: Although certain dimensions of foreign language learning in dyslexia have already been examined in the literature, no study has yet explored the language learning experiences of Iranian students with dyslexia, and parents’ views of the language learning experience of their children has also been neglected in the international literature despite its importance. The present study aimed...
متن کاملConvergent approaches toward the study of multisensory perception
Classical analytical approaches for examining multisensory processing in individual neurons have relied heavily on changes in mean firing rate to assess the presence and magnitude of multisensory interaction. However, neurophysiological studies within individual sensory systems have illustrated that important sensory and perceptual information is encoded in forms that go beyond these traditiona...
