Abstract:

82 subjects who viewed and felt fabrics (sensory interaction group) used different categories of terms to describe fabric hand than did 38 subjects who only felt the fabrics. Therefore, the methods used to measure fabric hand that isolate the senses may not accurately assess the way in which subjects describe fabric hand in nonlaboratory settings.

CBR - Consumer Behavior Review 4, no. 3 (September 10, 2020): 217. http://dx.doi.org/10.51359/2526-7884.2020.244525.

Abstract:

This study aimed to analyse whether sensory and symbolic elements used in perfume descriptions in internet sales can positively influence the level of involvement and consumer buying intention. To do so, a quasi-experimental design was adopted with the creation of three scenarios: one control group and two experimental groups. Each participant was presented to only one of the scenarios created, characterizing the model between subjects. Regarding the results, it was found that it is not possible to perceive differences between the means of the groups in relation to the dependent variables, except for a negative association between sensory aspects and the level of involvement. Therefore, it was concluded that it may not be advantageous to invest in sensory and symbolic aspects present in the product description in internet sales, it is necessary to rethink this strategy due the fact that this environment has a certain limitation with hedonics products.

Abstract:

The case notes of 23 schizophrenic patients who participated in a study of somato-sensory cortical evoked responses were examined for descriptions of the clinical features of their mental state at the time of first illness or most recent relapse. A comparison of syndrome scores derived from Present State Examination with those derived from case notes showed that the latter was a reliable method of mental state description for the purposes of this study. A group of syndromes similar to that described in electrodermal research was identified from the case note review and found to be highly correlated with the presence of an abnormal response in the somato-sensory evoked potentials study.

Abstract:

Overcoming bias in fruit quality evaluation is a challenge to fruit breeders, who must predict consumer preferences; databases of accurate fruit descriptions would be invaluable in helping them make selections to suit market needs. In order to obtain as informative a description as possible, plant breeding staff worked with sensory science personnel to define and quantify the appearance, flavor, and texture sensations they were experiencing when evaluating apples. Ten visual properties, nine flavor attributes, and nine texture characteristics were identified by evaluators; these were then clearly defined and reference materials representing the range of values found in apples were chosen as benchmarks. After screening and a brief training, nine people are now carrying out evaluations for the breeding project. In order to streamline the procedure, after two seasons of use the attributes are being examined for the usefulness in discriminating between genotypes.

Abstract:

The correlation between the description of 40 undergraduate women's favorite colors and their self-description was investigated. Subjects rated adjectives as these applied to their favorite colors, which were selected from the Munsell Book of Color, and then rated the same adjectives as applied to themselves. Analysis indicated that adjective ratings for self-descriptions and favorite colors were significantly correlated at .34, which, however, accounts for but a small proportion of common variance.

Abstract:

This study examined the clinical usefulness of the Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ). Thirty postoperative patients were asked to describe their postoperative pain and then administered the SF-MPQ. Eighteen (60%) used exact SF-MPQ sensory or affective words or synonyms to describe their postoperative pain during the interview. These results provide further evidence of the clinical relevance of the SF-MPQ sensory and affective scales. Pain descriptions by patients that go beyond pain intensity descriptions may communicate more precise information about the pain and lead to more effective pain interventions. Patients with difficulty describing their pain might be assisted by using the SF-MPQ.

Abstract:

Today digital sources supply a historically unprecedented component of human sensorimotor data, the consumption of which is correlated with poorly understood maladies such as Internet addiction disorder and Internet gaming disorder. Because both natural and digital sensorimotor data share common mathematical descriptions, one can quantify our informational sensorimotor needs using the signal processing metrics of entropy, noise, dimensionality, continuity, latency, and bandwidth. Such metrics describe in neutral terms the informational diet human brains require to self-calibrate, allowing individuals to maintain trusting relationships. With these metrics, we define the trust humans experience using the mathematical language of computational models, that is, as a primitive statistical algorithm processing finely grained sensorimotor data from neuromechanical interaction. This definition of neuromechanical trust implies that artificial sensorimotor inputs and interactions that attract low-level attention through frequent discontinuities and enhanced coherence will decalibrate a brain's representation of its world over the long term by violating the implicit statistical contract for which self-calibration evolved. Our hypersimplified mathematical understanding of human sensorimotor processing as multiscale, continuous-time vibratory interaction allows equally broad-brush descriptions of failure modes and solutions. For example, we model addiction in general as the result of homeostatic regulation gone awry in novel environments (sign reversal) and digital dependency as a sub-case in which the decalibration caused by digital sensorimotor data spurs yet more consumption of them. We predict that institutions can use these sensorimotor metrics to quantify media richness to improve employee well-being; that dyads and family-size groups will bond and heal best through low-latency, high-resolution multisensory interaction such as shared meals and reciprocated touch; and that individuals can improve sensory and sociosensory resolution through deliberate sensory reintegration practices. We conclude that we humans are the victims of our own success, our hands so skilled they fill the world with captivating things, our eyes so innocent they follow eagerly.

Abstract:

The target article distinguishes between modal and amodal emulators (the former predict future sensory states from current sensory states and motor actions, the latter operate on more abstract descriptions of the environment), and motor and environment emulators (the former predict the results of one's own actions, the latter predict all changes in the environment). I question the applicability of modal emulators, and the generalization to environment emulators.

Full text

Abstract:

We define the separation of figure from ground as a visual-attribute-dependent and task-dependent representation of sensory information in higher-level visual processes. A computer model for adaptive segmentation of 2-D visual objects (Dudkin et al, 1995 Proceedings of SPIE 122) was developed in these studies. The description and separation of figure from ground are implemented by spatial frequency filters and feature detectors performing as self-organising mechanisms. The simulation of control processes caused by attention (top - down), and lateral, frequency-selective, and cross-orientation inhibition (bottom - up) determines the adaptive image processing. The first stage is the estimation of input image produced by the analysis of the spatial brightness distribution by algorithms calculating the vector of primary descriptive attributes. These results provide the synthesis of control processes based on several algorithms, each of which transforms descriptive attributes into separate control parameters. The creation of two primary descriptions: ‘sustained’ (contours) and ‘transient’ (fragments with homogeneous intensity), and the selection of feature-detection operators are governed by the complete set of control parameters. The primary descriptions allow formation of the intermediate image description in which similar elements are grouped by identical brightness, colour, spatial position, curvature, and texture according to Gestalt concepts. To divide the image into basic areas and to extract fragments which belong to a putative figure, all these descriptions are combined into the final integrated image representation. The model has been tested on various images.

Abstract:

AbstractThe morphology of horizontal cells in ox, sheep, and pig retinae as observed after Lucifer Yellow injections are described and compared with the descriptions of Golgi-stained cells by Ramón y Cajal (1893). Horizontal cells in the retinae of less domesticated species, wild pig, fallow and sika deer, mouflon, and aurochs were also examined. All these retinae have two types of horizontal cell; their morphologies are in common, although with some familial differences. Their basic appearance is as Cajal described; except in one important respect, a single axon-like process could not be identified on the external horizontal cells. It is concluded that external horizontal cells of artiodactyls correspond to the axonless (A-type) cells of other mammals. Cajal's internal horizontal cells have a single axon which contacts rods. This type corresponds to the B-type cells of other mammalian retinae. Artiodactyl A- and B-type horizontal cells differ from those of many other mammals in that the B-type dendritic tree is robust and the A-type dendritic tree is delicate. Historically, this morphological difference between orders of mammals has led to some confusion. The comparisons presented here suggest that the morphological types of primate horizontal cells can be integrated into a general mammalian classification.

Abstract:

How is it possible for a food programme to give me a sensory experience of taste, when the two most important senses – the actual smell and taste – are not in play? This is a sensory paradox that this article will examine. The argumentation is apparent in descriptions about the sensory phenomenon synaesthesia, which basically suggests that we can think about the senses as co-dependent. I will argue that food programmes use sensory strategies – that is synaesthetic strategies – in order to mediate a specific and sensory experience of taste. In light of this, I will analyse two Danish produced food programmes, “Spise med Price” (2008-2009) and “Du er hvad du spiser” (2005-2007), in order to establish a profound understanding of the food programmes’ sensory dramaturgical tools.

Abstract:

Given the double nature of experiencing food as individual as well as shared experience and knowledge, the question is how to connect the observed variability of expressing such a sensory experience with a normalized requirement for developing (food) terminology. On the basis of descriptions of food experiences in actual practices involving the way food is consumed, evaluated and expressed by individuals – experts or not – in all their diversity, we propose to contribute cognitive (psychological and linguistic) expertise to terminology research. We analyze terms as cognitive units, defined within a psychological theory of natural categories as acts of meaning. In tracking the processes of terminological meaning construction in discourse we find intersubjective experience within the complex process of terminologization.

Abstract:

Descriptors of sensory experience are known to be crucial in trying to objectify the world. New descriptors are coined to express the enhanced experience of a reality experienced by human beings. In this article we illustrate the cognitive and cross-cultural framing for verbalizing sensory experience discussing the indeterminacy and vagueness of the wine descriptor minerality and the successful universal neologism smoothie, a product name for a new product. Both case studies concern units of understanding that are difficult to define but that are related to products with high marketing potential. First we refer to the expert literature in food studies dealing with minerality and smoothies. Then we report on observations based on discourse oriented empirical heuristics and surveying. Finally we discuss in how far experiencing food and drinks is culture-bound and language-specific, which implies that translating food descriptions may be a daunting task.

Abstract:

The analyses deal with the descriptions extracted from Nad Niemnem [On the Niemen] by Eliza Orzeszkowa and Listy z podróży do Ameryki [Letters from a Journey to America] by Henryk Sienkiewicz. The studies focus on the chosen features of the descriptions of nature by referring to the textological and stylistic research methodology. Indices of parametric features (such as size, height, length, width, depth, thickness and shape) and indices of sensory feedback have been juxtaposed with one another. The analyses show that the repertoire of linguistic and stylistic devices used by E. Orzeszkowa is by and large the same as the one used by H. Sienkiewicz due to their reference to the Romantic tradition. The descriptions differ in the intensity of the mentioned indices and in their function. Sienkiewicz’s descriptions of nature are more concrete and definite, while Orzeszkowa’s are more creative, with a tendency to poeticise nature.

Prevocalic and postvocalic /l/ were investigated in three adult subjects utilizing a combination of electropalatographic and acoustic techniques. Results indicated that prevocalic /l/ was characterized by both alveolar and lateral lingua-palatal contact, while postvocalic /l/ was primarily alveolar contact only. Acoustically, prevocalic /l/ had a lower first formant and higher second formant than postvocalic /l/. In addition, the second and third formants were often weak or absent for prevocalic but not postvocalic /l/. Vowel context had a greater effect on the electropalatographic and acoustic characteristics of prevocalic than postvocalic /l/. Models that relate physiological and acoustical aspects of speech were utilized to account for the observed results.

This study examined differences between perceived personality characteristics of a trained interior designer and of an untrained interior decorator. Subjects were 256 students who read a narrative description of a designer or a decorator and rated her personality traits by using a semantic differential scale. Factor analysis of the 17 adjective pairs of the semantic differential scale generated 5 factors: Professional, Extroverted, Creative, Intuitive, and Scientific. Narrative descriptions of practitioners' training had no significant effects on any of the 5 factors, thereby supporting the hypothesis that there would be no differences perceived between the trained interior designer and the untrained interior decorator.

Abstract:

AbstractThe insular lobe has long been investigated, from its anatomical descriptions to its neurophysiological activity. Located in a central location, the insular lobe participates in several afferent and efferent pathways, forming part of the eloquent and fundamental structures that make up the central core of the brain. The lobe of the insula has participation in language function, such as speech, sensory (e.g., taste), limbic, autonomic (visceral), also forming part of complex associative circuits, including part of the circuits of mirror neurons. Several functional descriptions attributed to the insular lobe have been made in patients suffering from cerebrovascular diseases, as well as in those with epilepsy. Much progress and many descriptions have also been made in patients with tumors. Despite much information already available about the insular lobe, it is likely that much will be discovered in the coming years.

Abstract:

Scene representation—the process of converting visual sensory data into concise descriptions—is a requirement for intelligent behavior. Recent work has shown that neural networks excel at this task when provided with large, labeled datasets. However, removing the reliance on human labeling remains an important open problem. To this end, we introduce the Generative Query Network (GQN), a framework within which machines learn to represent scenes using only their own sensors. The GQN takes as input images of a scene taken from different viewpoints, constructs an internal representation, and uses this representation to predict the appearance of that scene from previously unobserved viewpoints. The GQN demonstrates representation learning without human labels or domain knowledge, paving the way toward machines that autonomously learn to understand the world around them.

Abstract:

This paper discusses the discovery mechanism of program components based on knowledge descriptions of home sensors in network middleware. Descriptions are written in Resource Description Framework (RDF). RDF descriptions are easily appended to new information and connected to other knowledge. Developers and programs search appropriate program components based on knowledge such as sensor properties in the middleware. We prepared knowledge on sensor-embedded objects and constructed program components for an occupant’s location estimation and a context-aware application. Experiments show the feasibility of flexible discovery for heterogeneous program components using RDF-based description.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether the cognitive organization of labels of emotion differs from descriptions of affective states. This was done in the context of determining whether the attributions of labels of emotion and descriptions of affective responses in jealousy situations differed according to the status of the interloper, presence of an audience to the untoward behavior, and sex of the respondent. The subjects, 300 male and female junior college students, read vignettes which placed them at a party where their mates passionately kissed interlopers of varying status, and whose transgressions were, or were not, observed by others. The subjects were required to indicate the likelihood that they would experience anger, disgust, fear, jealousy, sadness, and surprise, and 49 cognitive and physiological descriptions of the affective states referred to by the aforementioned labels of emotion. Different findings were obtained with the labels and descriptors of affective states. This was interpreted as support for the systems theory of G. E. Schwartz. The descriptions, but not the labels, indicated that men were most upset when the interloper was a best friend and least concerned when he was a stranger. In contrast, women were most upset when the interloper was someone of equal or lower status than themselves and least upset when the interloper was their best friend.

Abstract:

Three studies examined how listeners use adjectives to describe saxophone timbres. Descriptions were collected from 97 untrained non-musicians who were exposed to recorded tones of tenor saxophones of stylistically distinct jazz musicians. A lack of universality in characterizations of timbre was found when subjects were required to supply their own adjectives and when they were required to select from a list of 43 adjectives. Of course, considerable agreement among listeners occurred with respect to several timbres when the use of seven-point bipolar scales (hard/soft, rough/smooth, etc.) was required. Scale descriptions matched many ratings which are popularly applied by musicians and journalists. It was concluded that certain adjectives are particularly appropriate for describing saxophone timbres and that their appropriateness has led to their common use among musicians. It was also noted that the nature of these characterizations (calling a tone “hard” or “rough”, for example) is consistent with the idea that cross-modal and cross-material relations exist in cognition.

Abstract:

Preserving older pedestrians’ navigation skills in urban environments is a challenge for maintaining their quality of life. However, the maps that are usually used by older pedestrians might be unsuitable to their specificities and the existing digital aids do not consider older people’s perceptual and cognitive declines or user experience. This study presents a rich description of the navigation experience of older pedestrians either with a visual (augmented reality glasses), auditory (bone conduction headphones), or a visual and haptic (smartwatch) wearable device adapted to age-related declines. These wearable devices are compared to the navigation aid older people usually use when navigating the city (their own digital or paper map). The study, with 18 participants, measured the navigation performance and captured detailed descriptions of the users’ experience using interviews. We highlight three main phenomena which impact the quality of the user experience with the four aids: (1) the shifts in attention over time, (2) the understanding of the situation over time, and (3) the emergence of affective and aesthetic feelings over time. These findings add a new understanding of the specificities of navigation experience by older people and are discussed in terms of design recommendations for navigation devices.

Abstract:

We tested the hypothesis that object recognition is an active search of complicated fragments in the visual image. This search is performed in accordance with criteria based on invariant descriptions of an object's perceptual class. The basic strategy is to activate these descriptions during parallel search. ‘Upper’ segments search for appropriate fragments of the picture. ‘Subordinate’ segments are included by request of the ‘upper’ segments. Description segments include three types of records: integral (whole) characteristics of some fragment; characteristics of fragments which are members of this fragment; and characteristics of relations between the fragments. This structure of perceptual description permits parallel analysis of the visual scene by different segments by the ‘autonomy’ principle and permits the use of incomplete sets of segments for recognition by the ‘quorum’ principle. Different ways of forming connections between segment records may be considered as ‘thinking’ components of visual perception. The main points of our model follow from results of our tachistoscopic experiments. We measured thresholds for the recognition of test figures. Different levels of figure complexity were used: parallel lines and strips, geometric figures, schematic faces, textures, etc. It was found that the stages of the recognition process are connected with types of operations described in our model. These results give rise to the possibility that the properties of the neurons involved in visual search might be identified.

Abstract:

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Contactless symptom tracking is essential for the diagnosis of COVID-19 cases that need hospitalization. Indications from sensors and user descriptions have to be combined in order to make the right decisions. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> The proposed multipurpose platform Coronario combines sensory information from different sources for a valid diagnosis following a dynamically adaptable protocol. The information exchanged can also be exploited for the advancement of research on COVID-19. The platform consists of mobile and desktop applications, sensor infrastructure, and cloud services. It may be used by patients in pre- and post-hospitalization stages, vulnerable populations, medical practitioners, and researchers. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The supported audio processing is used to demonstrate how the Coronario platform can assist research on the nature of COVID-19. Cough sounds are classified as a case study, with 90% accuracy. <b><i>Discussion/Conclusions:</i></b> The dynamic adaptation to new medical protocols is one of the main advantages of the developed platform, making it particularly useful for several target groups of patients that require different screening methods. A medical protocol determines the structure of the questionnaires, the medical sensor sampling strategy and, the alert rules.

Abstract:

Abstract People usually rely on sight to encode spatial information, becoming aware of other sensory cues when deprived of vision. In the absence of vision, it has been demonstrated that physical movements and spatial descriptions can effectively provide the spatial information that is necessary for the construction of an adequate spatial mental model. However, no study has previously compared the influence of these encoding modalities on complex movements such as human spatial navigation within real room-size environments. Thus, we investigated whether the encoding of a spatial layout through verbal cues — that is, spatial description — and motor cues — that is, physical exploration of the environment — differently affect spatial navigation within a real room-size environment, by testing blindfolded sighted (Experiment 1) and late-blind (Experiment 2) participants. Our results reveal that encoding the environment through physical movement is more effective than through verbal descriptions in supporting active navigation. Thus, our findings are in line with the studies claiming that the physical exploration of an environment enhances the development of a global spatial representation and improves spatial updating. From an applied perspective, the present results suggest that it might be possible to improve the experience for visually impaired people within a new environment by allowing them to explore it.

Abstract:

Lipstick is a key product in the make-up sector. A woman applies lipstick to feel feminine and attractive. The sensation she perceives when she applies the product plays an important role in her attachment to her lipstick. The impact of the ingredients on the sensory properties and the quality of the lipsticks needs to be understood, so that the formulation can be more effective and the sensory properties can be precisely adjusted to the target market. During this study, multidimensional correlations were made between the percentage of ingredients, their physico-chemical specifications and the sensory properties of the raw materials on their own or the lipsticks. The objective of this study is to predict the sensory properties of lipsticks from the physico-chemical specifications of the ingredients. It is in effect quicker to access the physical data than the sensory descriptions. The lipsticks were made using a simplified formula, evaluated in a sensory analysis and their physico-chemical characteristics were measured. The relationships between the sensory properties, the ingredient specifications and their percentage of use in the formula were highlighted. The results confirm the major role of the viscosity of oils and the wax used in the formula on the sensory and mechanical properties of the lipstick. It is therefore possible to modify the sensory properties, for example to adjust the shininess of a lipstick, without altering its mechanical resistance. This opens up opportunities for developing innovative sensory textures in short lead times.

Abstract:

Life in today’s world has become very competitive and challenging. In this ambitious realm, learning, perception, application and expression are vital to every existential being. However, there are a few people around the world who are bereft of these fundamentals of liveli-hood. Agnosia is a disorder that exhibits the diminution of the ability to recognize objects, sounds or other sensory stimuli. It Is sometimes described as ‘perception without meaning’. The victim still has the knowledge of the object or the sound, but is unable to asso-ciate it meaningfully. There are varied dimensions of this disorder including visual, auditory and color agnosia.The aim of our project is to create a mobile application for the subjects of this disorder to be able to improve their recognition of objects, faces, sounds and colors through persistent practice and analysis. Illustrations of persons and objects with their descriptions for visual recognition, along with a verbal guide for identification and perception of sounds, and a color-picker to identify right colors will be equipped for study. Assessment criteria for evaluation of their performance will also be devised to keep in check their improvement, based on which graphical overviews and reports will be generated. A pulse sensor will also be appended to keep the pulse of the victim in check while on assessment. This methodical approach could be efficacious for the progression of sensory perception and recognition in the agno-sic.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTLiving Crustacea possess many types of sensory receptors that detect environmental signals. These structures allow the speculation that similar organs existed in fossil arthropods and were involved in similar ways in the fossil forms when they were extant.Posture, for example, is difficult to reconstruct in fossils without the understanding that internal proprioceptors monitoring position and movement are crucial in determining the placement of limbs, and the position of the abdomen and other jointed portions of the body. These receptors are associated also with autotomy reflexes through soft cuticle detectors that respond to strain not associated with joints.Many receptors are placed on the outer surface of the animal, the eyes being the most obvious. The eyes receive no attention in this paper, but descriptions are given of a number of different types of setae, serving both mechanical and chemical sensors. The possession of a pore at the apex (or sub-apex) of a seta or setule probably indicates a chemoreceptor function, but its absence does not necessarily indicate a lack of such sensitivity. A range of forms is illustrated.The dorsal organ is a recently discovered structure in decapod larvae. It is composed of a central single gland cell opening via an aperture in the midline just behind the rostrum. It is bounded by four depressions each containing a central ‘nipple’. These prove to be sensors, with ciliated endings (bifid) that end in a highly modified cuticle at the depression nipple. The function is unknown, but it is proposed that it represents an unusual chemoreceptor.

Abstract:

The present paper evaluates the contribution of feature type and feature distinctiveness to naming of living and nonliving things using a naming from definition task. Normal subjects read verbal descriptions containing features varying in type (i.e., sensory vs. functional) and distinctiveness (i.e., distinct vs. shared) and were asked to name the concept described and to select the three features that most contributed to their answer. Main results showed that sensory features were selected more often than functional features to support naming living things and that, independent of feature type, more distinct features were selected to support naming more often than shared features. Results are discussed considering the implications for understanding naming and for neuropsychological evaluation.

Abstract:

Abstract Few studies focusing on embryos and/or tadpole skin morphology have described sensory transient organs whose morphological variation could indicate some taxonomical or functional correlations. We explore here some integumentary features of Boana riojana larvae that are rarely mentioned in tadpole descriptions. We provide histomorphological and SEM descriptions of the lateral line system, a series of evenly distributed unpigmented spots, and some symmetrical paired structures dorsal to the oral disc. The latter are previously unreported in any tadpole. Our descriptions reveal that the: 1) the number of lateral lines resembles those for most tadpoles, but with an unusual arrangement of stitches; 2) paired lateral spots are formed by ciliated cells dispersed in clusters unrelated to the lateral line system; and 3) upper-lip related structures are histomorphologically similar to the unpigmented spots. We discuss and suggest that integumentary transient structures in B. riojana represent traits that should be taken into account when describing tadpoles. This new information may help diagnose species and advance our understanding of tadpole ecomorphology and evolution.
