Koenderink, J.J. (author), Van Doorn, A.J. (author)“Pictorial space” is the mental structure that appears to be the scaffold for the visual awareness when looking “into” (as opposed to “at”) a picture. Its structure differs from the “visual space” that is the scaffold for the visual awareness when looking into the scene in front of the observer. The structure of pictorial space has been probed...journal article 2012

Nefs, H.T. (author), Van Bilsen, A. (author), Pont, S.C. (author), De Ridder, H. (author), Wijntjes, M.W.A. (author), Van Doorn, A.J. (author)In this paper, we focus on how people perceive the aspect ratio of city squares. Earlier research has focused on distance perception but not so much on the perceived aspect ratio of the surrounding space. Furthermore, those studies have focused on “open” spaces rather than urban areas enclosed by walls, houses and filled with people, cars, etc....journal article 2013

Sleenhoff, S. (author), Osseweijer, P. (author)With a mandatory labeling scheme for GM food in Europe since 2004 measuring actual consumer choice in practice has become possible. Anticipating Europeans negative attitude toward GM food, the labeling was enforced to allow consumers to make an informed choice. We studied consumers actual purchase behavior of GM food products and compared this...journal article 2013

Wastiels, L. (author), Schifferstein, H.N.J. (author), Wouters, I. (author), Heylighen, A. (author)Designers’ visual way of knowing and working tends to be highly valued in design research. In architecture such an approach is increasingly criticized. Since people experience buildings with all their senses, architects’ visual focus is said to the run the risk of disregarding non-visual aspects. This study focuses on the visual and tactile...journal article 2013

Prado Vega, R. (author), Van Leeuwen, P.M. (author), Rendon Velez, E. (author), Lemij, H.G. (author), De Winter, J.C. (author)The objective of this study was to evaluate differences in driving performance, visual detection performance, and eye-scanning behavior between glaucoma patients and control participants without glaucoma. Glaucoma patients (n = 23) and control participants (n = 12) completed four 5-min driving sessions in a simulator. The participants were...journal article 2013

Saffarian, M (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Senders, J.W. (author)It is commonly accepted that vision plays an important role in car braking, but it is unknown how people brake in the absence of visual information. In this simulator study, we measured drivers’ braking behaviour while they had to stop their car at designated positions on the road. The access to visual information was manipulated by occluding...journal article 2015

Pluijms, Joost P. (author), Cañal-Bruland, Rouwen (author), Bergmann Tiest, Wouter M. (author), Mulder, F.A. (author), Savelsbergh, Geert J.P. (author)We examined whether expertise effects are present in cutaneous wind perception. To this end, we presented wind stimuli consisting of different wind directions and speeds in a wind simulator. The wind simulator generated wind stimuli from 16 directions and with three speeds by means of eight automotive wind fans. Participants were asked to...journal article 2015

De Greef, T.E. (author), Leveringhaus, A. (author)Advanced warfare technologies (AWT) create unprecedented capabilities to control the delivery of military force up to the point, some argue, that we are loosing humanity. But dependence on them generates difficult moral challenges impacting the decision-making process, which are only beginning to be addressed. In order to arrive at an informed...journal article 2015

Overvliet, KE (author), Karana, E. (author), Soto-Faraco, S (author)In many daily contexts, we prefer natural ‘materials’ over un-natural ones. Textiles embodied in garments that are worn on the body all day, or in bed sheets slept under every night touch us literally, on a daily basis. Hence among all other materials, ‘naturalness perception’ has a strong impact on the preference for textile products....journal article 2016

Huinnk, L.H.B. (author), Bouwsema, H. (author), Plettenburg, D.H. (author), van der Sluis, C.K. (author), Bongers, R.M. (author)Background: Little is known about action-perception learning processes underlying prosthetic skills in body-powered prosthesis users. Body-powered prostheses are controlled through a harness connected by a cable that might provide for limited proprioceptive feedback. This study aims to test transfer of training basic tasks to functional tasks...journal article 2016

Mahdizadeh Hakak, A. (author), Bhattacharya, J (author), Biloria, N.M. (author), de Kleijn, R. (author), Shah-Mohammadi, F. (author)Perceptions of different environments are different for different people. An abstract designed environment, with a degree of freedom from any visual reference in the physical world requests a completely different perception than a fully or semi-designed environment that has some correlation with the physical world. Maximal evidence on the...journal article 2016

Beckers, R. (author), van der Voordt, Theo (author), Dewulf, G (author)This paper aims to address higher education students' learning space preferences. The study is based on a survey that involved 697 business management students of a Dutch University of Applied Sciences. The research focuses on preferred learning spaces for individual study activities, which require concentration, and preferred learning spaces...journal article 2016

Zhang, F. (author), de Ridder, H. (author), Fleming, Ronald W. (author), Pont, S.C. (author)MatMix 1.0 is a novel material probe we developed for quantitatively measuring visual perception of materials. We implemented optical mixing of four canonical scattering modes, represented by photographs, as the basis of the probe. In order to account for a wide range of materials, velvety and glittery (asperity and mesofacet scattering) were...journal article 2016

Stelling-Konczak, A. (author), Hagenzieker, Marjan (author), Commandeur, Jacques J F (author), Agterberg, Martijn J H (author), van Wee, G.P. (author)When driven at low speeds, cars operating in electric mode have been found to be quieter than conventional cars. As a result, the auditory cues which pedestrians and cyclists use to assess the presence, proximity and location oncoming traffic may be reduced, posing a safety hazard. This laboratory study examined auditory localisation of...journal article 2016

Lu, Z. (author), Coster, Xander (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)Drivers of automated cars may occasionally need to take back manual control after a period of inattentiveness. At present, it is unknown how long it takes to build up situation awareness of a traffic situation. In this study, 34 participants were presented with animated video clips of traffic situations on a three-lane road, from an...journal article 2017

Hansmann-Roth, S. (author), Pont, S.C. (author), Mamassian, Pascal (author)The material property of glossiness, which is attributed to many objects in our daily life, is physically independent of the objects' color. However, perceived glossiness can change with the contrast between the highlight and the area around the specular highlight. Hitherto, experiments mainly investigated gloss on unicolored surfaces. It is...journal article 2017

Molin, E.J.E. (author), Blangé, J. (author), Cats, O. (author), Chorus, C.G. (author)The risk of being involved in an airplane accident is largely ignored in air passengers’ choice models. The reason presumably is that it is hard to operationalize, because objective safety indicators often involve extremely low probabilities that are hard to grasp and interpret by passengers. In this paper, we propose an operationalization...journal article 2017

The robustness of various published research findings on the valuations of speech-based warning messages is unclear. This research aimed to establish how people value speech-based take-over requests as a function of speech rate, background noise, spoken...journal article 2017
