Biological kinematics: a detailed review of the velocity-curvature power law calculation

A review of how the velocity-curvature power law is calculated, identifying analytical pitfalls and proposing a vetted modular protocol for biological movement research.

A Kalman Filter Model for synchronisation in musical ensembles

A low-cost Kalman-filter feedback correction model for understanding how musicians synchronize timing in ensemble performance.

Skin properties and afferent density in the deterioration of tactile spatial acuity with age

Psychophysics, skin-property measurements, and tactile-neuron simulations show how ageing-related changes in skin and afferent density contribute to reduced tactile spatial acuity.

Skin and mechanoreceptor contribution to tactile input for perception: a review of simulation models

We review four current computational models that simulate the response of mechanoreceptors in the glabrous skin to tactile stimulation. The aim is to inform researchers in psychology, sensorimotor science and robotics who may want to implement this …

Modality-specific temporal constraints for state-dependent interval timing

The ability to discriminate temporal intervals in the milliseconds-to-seconds range has been accounted for by proposing that duration is encoded in the dynamic change of a neuronal network state. A critical limitation of such networks is that their …

For the Last Time: Temporal Sensitivity and Perceived Timing of the Final Stimulus in an Isochronous Sequence

An isochronous sequence is a series of repeating events with the same inter-onset-interval. A common finding is that as the length of a sequence increases, so does temporal sensitivity to irregularities - that is, the detection of deviations from …

Spatial integration in structure from motion

In three experiments we investigated whether the perception of 3D structure from the optic-flow involves a process of spatial integration. The observer's task was to judge the 3D orientation of local velocity field patches. In two conditions, the …
