A single biological object, such as a hand, can assume multiple, very different shapes, due to the articulation of its parts. Yet we are able to recognize all of these shapes as examples of the same object. How is this invariance to pose achieved? Here, we present evidence that the visual system maintains a model of object transformation that is based on rigid, convex parts articulating at extr...

In this case, the authors propose a pathway of visual mapping through which the science education system from professional educators who produce representations of national and state standards to curriculum coordinators at the school district level to individual teachers and students in the classroom could be aligned in order to promote meaningful learning of a connected set of concepts. Concep...

This is a study of the perception of the voice distinction in Greek fricatives across different places of articulation. The results indicate that: (1) the acoustic correlate of voicing is not a categorical perception effect of fricative voice distinctions; at least not across all places of articulation, and 2) noise duration has a significant effect on fricative voice perception across all plac...

As one of the main expressive feature in music, articulation affects a wide range of tone attributes. Based on experimental recordings we analyzed human articulation in the late Baroque style. The results are useful for both the understanding of historically informed performance practices and further progress in synthetic performance generation. This paper reports of our findings and the implem...
