The role of sensory information in walking remains unclear despite its relevance to understanding human locomotor deficits and as a source of insight for robotics. System identification experiments using sinusoidal perturbations of a visual scene have yielded insights into control of human standing posture [2]. We propose a framework through which similar techniques can be used to identify estimator and controller structures used by humans during rhythmic movement. A key challenge in translating these techniques to human walking is the high number of degrees of freedom involved. To address this, we examine paddle juggling (Figure 1) as a useful starting point to study control of rhythmic movements. Paddle juggling is much simpler than behaviors such as walking and running [1, 3] and yet preserves much of the essential nature of locomotion, such as its hybrid dynamical structure

Optimal and human eye movements to clustered low value cues to increase decision rewards during search ECKSTEIN, Miguel P.; SCHOONVELD, Wade; ZHANG, Sheng; MACK, Stephen C.; Akbaş, Emre (Elsevier BV, 2015-08-01) Rewards have important influences on the motor planning of primates and the firing of neurons coding visual information and action. When eye movements to a target are differentially rewarded across locations, primates execute saccades towards the possible target location with the highest expected value, a product of sensory evidence and potentially earned reward (saccade to maximum expected value model, sMEV). Yet, in the natural world eye movements are not directly rewarded. Their role is to gather informa...
Evaluating working memory capacity and cognitive load in learning from goal based scenario centered 3D multimedia Kilic, Eylem; Yıldırım, Zahide (2010-02-08) The purpose of this study is to investigate working memory capacity and cognitive load in learning from Goal Based Scenario centered 3D multimedia learning environment (GBSc3DM) designed based on Cognitive Load Theory (CLT). GBSc3DM was developed in two versions. In the designed of the first version (+CLT) cognitive load principles were applied. In the second version (-CLT), however, the principles were violated. 47 11(th) grade high school students were selected based on their working memory capacity (WMC)...
Prototype Hardware Design for Brain Computer Interface Applications Erdogan, Balkar; Akinci, Berna; Acar, Erman; Usakli, Ali Buelent; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (2009-01-01) Brain Computer Interface (BCI) is an alternative communication pathway between the human brain and outside world in which only the brain activity is interpreted in a special way. These systems are based on the electrical activity of the brain that can be measured via Electroencephalography (EEG) devices. BCI enables people with severe motor disorders (like ALS) to communicate with their environment or control a wheelchair for their movement by using the EEG signals. In this study, a prototype data acquisito...
Behavioral relevance of consciousness for human action: explorations with the simon task paradigm Gök, Selvi Elif; Hohenberger, Annette Edeltraud; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2016) The motivation of this thesis is to investigate whether consciousness has an effect on human behaviors. To this aim an exploratory approach is adopted where an experimental design with two parts is developed. In the first part, participants are first presented objects moving to the left or to the right in accordance with a rule (i.e. familiarization phase), and then transferred to a subsequent two-choice stimulus-response task for stimuli presented at the center of the screen (i.e. Simon phase). Although th...
Individual variation in the spatial reference and working memory assessed under allothetic and idiothetic orientation cues in rat Jakubowska-Dogru, E; Gumusbas, U; Kara, F (2003-01-01) The present study was designed to examine which kind of memory: reference or working, better correlates with individual variation in rats' spatial learning abilities. To answer this question two groups of rats were trained to an arbitrary criterion in a partially baited 12-arm radial maze under two different experimental conditions: with or without allothetic cues. After 10 days break, rats were examined under the same conditions for memory retention. Within- and between-group variation in the length of tra...
