(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

Molin, E.J.E. (author), Kroesen, M. (author)To minimize the risk of becoming infected by the Coronavirus while traveling by train, the national government and the Dutch railways' operator (NS) in the Netherlands have taken several policy measures. These involve that passengers have to wear masks and guidelines are issued for working at home and teaching online. In addition, other policy...journal article 2022

Tang, Yingjie (author), Mou, Junmin (author), Chen, Linying (author), Zhou, Y. (author)Through the continuous development of intellectualization, considering the lifecycle of ships, the future of a waterborne traffic system is bound to be a mixed scenario where intelligent ships of different autonomy levels co-exist, i.e., mixed waterborne traffic. According to the three modules of ships’ perception, decision-making, and execution...review 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

Plaisier, M.A. (author), Kappers, Astrid M.L. (author)Vibrations on the back of a person can convey information about direction through sequentially switching on two vibration motors. For perception of direction the oblique effect can occur, meaning that perception of cardinal directions is more precise than perception of oblique directions. We investigated the role of the positioning of the...journal article 2022

Souaid, C. (author), van der Heijden, H.M.H. (author), Elsinga, M.G. (author)In 2010, the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive announced that all new buildings are to be nearly zero-energy as of January 2021. Having reached year 2022, it can be said that the transition has proven to be slower than anticipated. Transition research has long acknowledged the potential impact of the human factor in the process of change...journal article 2022

Richardson, Benjamin A. (author), Vardar, Y. (author), Wallraven, Christian (author), Kuchenbecker, Katherine J. (author)Whenever we touch a surface with our fingers, we perceive distinct tactile properties that are based on the underlying dynamics of the interaction. However, little is known about how the brain aggregates the sensory information from these dynamics to form abstract representations of textures. Earlier studies in surface perception all used...journal article 2022

Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Mugge, R. (author)There is consensus that product lifetimes are generally decreasing. To create a sustainable society, the circular economy promotes slowing down the use of resources by lengthening product lifetimes. This is especially important for electronic products that are energy-intensive in their production phase and create vast amounts of waste after use....conference paper 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

Hepworth, M. (author), Garofano, V. (author), Pang, Y. (author), Reppa, V. (author)Sustainability goals have reignited interest in more fuel efficient modalities for urban freight transportation. The autonomous inland vessel has the potential to enable a modality shift to the waterway, however economically-conscious solutions to the technological challenges are lacking. This paper explores the potential role of stereovision...journal article 2022

Tissen, L.N.M. (author), van Veldhuizen, Mané (author)Various types of digital and physical three-dimensional facsimile technologies (e.g., high-definition digital modelling and 3D printing) have entered the art world and have become increasingly important for research and presentation purposes. Yet, studies that go beyond the technical aspects of (3D) facsimile techniques, such as their...journal article 2022

Noll, B.L. (author), Filatova, T. (author), Need, Ariana (author)As climate change increases the probability and severity of natural hazards, the need for coordinated adaptation at all levels of society intensifies. Governmental-level adaptation measures are essential, but insufficient in the face of growing risks, necessitating complementary action from households. Apprehending the drivers of household...journal article 2022

Schifferstein, Hendrik N.J. (author), Lemke, M. (author), de Boer, Alie (author)Commercial food packages may contain multiple messages. Packaging designers try to integrate all messages into a coherent design. Designers may use text, images or stylistic features, but these mediums may differ in their suitability to communicate specific product benefits. To evaluate the usefulness and effectiveness of these three mediums,...journal article 2022

van Nispen, K. (author), Sekine, Kazuki (author), van der Meulen, Ineke (author), Preisig, Basil C. (author)Co-speech hand gestures are an ubiquitous form of nonverbal communication, which can express additional information that is not present in speech. Hand gestures may become more relevant when verbal production is impaired, as in speakers with post-stroke aphasia. In fact, speakers with aphasia produce more gestures than non-brain damaged speakers...journal article 2022
