(author), Wiertlewski, M. (author), Redmond, Stephen J. (author), Birznieks, Ingvars (author)Abstract: When manipulating objects, humans begin adjusting their grip force to friction within 100 ms of contact. During motor adaptation, subjects become aware of the slipperiness of touched surfaces. Previously, we have demonstrated that humans cannot perceive frictional differences when surfaces are brought in contact with an immobilised...journal article 2024

Tong, Mathew (author)According to the Oxford Learner’s Dictionaries, the notion of “space” can be read in several ways, of what is the five general understandings of it would be: outside earth’s atmosphere, empty area, period, freedom, and lastly, where things exist/move. With the speed, amount of information, and technology we are currently facing in the 21st...master thesis 2023

van Schaik, Freek (author)The 1960s Amsterdam neighbourhood of Buitenveldert, with its radical open and green layout, has an appearance quite dissimilar to that of the city’s centre. Visiting my grandparents there since I was a little child, has always sparked my interest and made me curious about its history and evolution after almost 65 years of existence. Therefore,...student report 2023

Jahanshahi, Danial (author), Costello, Seósamh B. (author), Dirks, Kim Natasha (author), Chowdhury, Subeh (author), van Wee, G.P. (author)Ensuring equity is considered in all types of decision making, including with respect to cycling provision, is important. Studies have investigated equity in relation to provision of cycling infrastructure and facilities. However, identifying other factors that need consideration in cycling equity is important. This study explored the impact of...journal article 2023

(author)Chunking theory and previous eye-tracking studies suggest that expert chess players use peripheral vision to judge chess positions and determine the best moves to play. However, the role of peripheral vision in chess has largely been inferred rather than tested through controlled experimentation. In this study, we used a gaze-contingent paradigm...journal article 2023

de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Dodou, D. (author), Eisma, Y.B. (author)Raven matrices are widely considered a pure test of cognitive abilities. Previous research has examined the extent to which cognitive strategies are predictive of the number of correct responses to Raven items. This study examined whether response times can be explained directly from the centrality and visual complexity of the matrix cells ...journal article 2023

de Wit, S.I. (author)The urban environment is perceived through multiple senses in parallel, which means that visual understanding of space is aided and complemented by auditory, basic-orienting, and haptic stimuli - although mainly unconsciously. Sensory conditions are inherent attributes of urban places, but are often overlooked in research. To include these...book chapter 2023

This makes VV best suited for augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) applications. This freedom necessitates increased user interaction with the VV itself, which brings new...book chapter 2023

ter Haar, Jeroen (author)The rapid development of technology gives many opportunities but brings threats as well. The digitization of the financial sector has made the threat for cyber attacks significant. Cyber attacks such as the Petya virus or the Wannacry attack have exposed the vulnerability of the critical infrastructure. The financial sector is especially prone...master thesis 2022

Kronstadt, Lufther (author)In our digital society, having computer science skills is becoming imperative, yet there is a shortage of computer science professionals and teachers. This shortage is linked to the perception people have of computer science and computer science professionals. This research paper answers two questions through a mixed-method study: to what extent...master thesis 2022

(author), Birznieks, Ingvars (author)Human tactile perception and motor control rely on the frictional estimates that stem from the deformation of the skin and slip events. However, it is not clear how exactly these mechanical events relate to the perception of friction. This study aims to quantify how minor lateral displacement and speed enables subjects to feel frictional...journal article 2022

de Wit, S.I. (author)Meaningfulness in the urban landscape is guided by perception: the qualities of the environment only become meaningful if they can be experienced. Experiences are localized in the physical environment: the form of the (urban) landscape - which includes materiality as well as structure - creates the conditions, the organisation, of experience....journal article 2022

Unperceived motor actions of the balance system interfere with the causal attribution of self-motionTisserand, Romain (author), Rasman, Brandon G. (author), Omerovic, Nina (author), Peters, Ryan M. (author), Forbes, P.A. (author), Blouin, Jean Sébastien (author)The instability of human bipedalism demands that the brain accurately senses balancing self-motion and determines whether movements originate from self-generated actions or external disturbances. Here, we challenge the longstanding notion that this process relies on a single representation of the body and world to accurately perceive postural...journal article 2022

van Assen, J.J.R. (author), van Zuijlen, M.J.P. (author), Nishida, Shin'ya (author)Visual motion computation is challenging under real-world conditions due to continuous contextual changes such as varying lighting conditions and a large range of optical material properties. Due to these changes the retinal optical flow can drastically vary while the physical motion of an object remains constant. Especially materials with high...abstract 2022

Understanding and Designing Avatar Biosignal Visualizations for Social Virtual Reality EntertainmentLee, Sueyoon (author), El Ali, Abdallah (author), Wijntjes, M.W.A. (author), Cesar, Pablo (author)Visualizing biosignals can be important for social Virtual Reality (VR), where avatar non-verbal cues are missing. While several biosignal representations exist, designing effective visualizations and understanding user perceptions within social VR entertainment remains unclear. We adopt a mixed-methods approach to design biosignals for...conference paper 2022
