Retinal motion of objects is not in itself enough to signal whether or how objects are moving in the world; the same pattern of retinal motion can result from movement of the object, the observer or both. Estimation of scene-relative movement of an object is vital for successful completion of many simple everyday tasks. Recent research has provided evidence for a neural flow-parsing mechanism w...

π-Flow is a series of pieces of demonstration software for the visualisation of characteristics of human population dynamics which are widely studied in both economics and social science. Our visualisations are based on a 1% sample of the 2002 census in the USA. The modern census includes one aspect of historical data and it is this data namely, “Which county did you live in 5 years ago”, that ...

Therapeutic methods that use Jacilitation and inhibition to alter dysJunctional patterns oj movement were implemented in children with multiple handicaps within educational settings. Desired movement patterns such as reach and manipulation skilts were pel/ormed by students throughout the classroom day and across a variety oj contextual uses. Data collected on several students indicated that mor...

Insights into processes that lead to the distribution of genetic variation within plant species require recognition of the importance of both pollen and seed movement. Here we investigate the contributions of pollen and seed movement to overall gene flow in the Central American epiphytic orchid, Laelia rubescens. Genetic diversity and structure were examined at multiple spatial scales in the tr...

User-generated travelogues can generate much geographic data, containing abundant semantic and geographic information that reflects people’s movement patterns. The tourist movement patterns in travelogues can help others when planning trips, or understanding how people travel within certain regions. The trajectory data in travelogues might include tourist attractions, restaurants and other loca...

From a nonlinear dynamics perspective, presence of movement variability before a change in preferred movement patterns is hypothesized to afford the necessary adaptability and flexibility for seeking novel functional behaviors. In this study, four novice participants practiced a discrete multiarticular movement for 12 sessions over 4 weeks. Cluster analysis procedures revealed how changes betwe...

Herbivorous fishes are being increasingly valued for their ecological function in coral reef systems, and consequently they have become the focus of management actions on many reefs around the world. Because many conservation actions require an understanding of the space use patterns of species of interest, there has been an increased effort in recent years to study the movement patterns and ho...
