Rapid advances in technology for highly automated vehicles (HAVs) have raised concerns about coexistence of HAVs and human road users. Although there is a long tradition research into user interactions, lack shared models terminology to support cross-disciplinary development towards safe acceptable interaction-capable HAVs. Here, we review the main themes findings previous theoretical empirical interaction research, find large variability perspectives terminologies. We unify these...
Detecting a looming object and its imminent collision is imperative to survival. For most humans, it fundamental aspect of daily activities such as driving, road crossing participating in sport, yet little known about how the brain both detects responds stimuli. Here we use functional magnetic resonance imaging assess neural response stimuli comparison with receding motion-controlled static We demonstrate for first time that, human, superior colliculus pulvinar nucleus thalamus respond...
When humans share space in road traffic, as drivers or vulnerable users, they draw on their full range of communicative and interactive capabilities. Much remains unknown about these behaviors, but need to be captured models if automated vehicles are coexist successfully with human users. Empirical studies user behavior implicate a large number underlying cognitive mechanisms, which taken together well beyond the scope existing computational models. Here, we note that for all putative...
Understanding and modelling pedestrian behavior is important for traffic safety, not least in the context of vehicle automation. There exist competing models how pedestrians decide if when to cross a road with oncoming traffic. Distinguishing between these non-trivial, but recent results cognitive neuroscience decision-making offer promising method, complementing behavioral data electroencephalography (EEG): Previous EEG studies have shown that centro-parietal positive potential (CPP)...
Single case: DT is a savant with exceptional abilities in numerical memory and mathematical calculations. also has an elaborate form of synaesthesia for visually presented digits. Further more, Asperger syndrome (AS). We carried out two preliminary investigations to establish whether these conditions may contribute his abilities. Neuroimaging: In fMRI digit span study, showed hyperactivity lateral prefrontal cortex when encoding digits, compared controls. addition, while controls raised...
The aim of this study was to reveal cortical areas that may contribute the movement difficulties seen in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). Specifically, we hypothesized there be a deficit mirror neuron system (MNS), neural responds both performed and observed actions. Using functional MRI, 14 boys DCD (x=10.08 years ± 1.31, range=7.83-11.58 years) 12 typically developing controls (x=10.10 1.15, range=8.33-12.00 were scanned observing, executing imitating finger...
An extensive series of physiological studies in macaques shows the existence neurons three multisensory cortical regions, dorsal medial superior temporal area (MSTd), ventral intraparietal (VIP), and visual posterior sylvian (VPS), that are tuned for direction self-motion both vestibular modalities. Some have congruent preferences, suggesting integration signals optimum encoding trajectory; others opposite preferences could be used discounting retinal motion arises from perceptually...
Autonomous vehicles use a variety of sensors and machine-learned models to predict the behavior surrounding road users. Most in literature focus on quantitative error metrics like root mean square (RMSE) learn report their models' capabilities. This tends ignore more important behavioral aspect models, raising question whether these really human-like behavior. Thus, we propose analyze output much would human data conventional research. We introduce demonstrate presence three different...
Abstract Background and objectives Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is a prevalent childhood movement disorder, impacting the ability to perform skills at an age appropriate level. Although differences in grey matter (GM) volumes have been found related developmental disorders, no such evidence has linked with DCD date. This cross‐sectional study assessed structural brain children without DCD. Methods High‐resolution images were acquired from 44 aged 7.8–12 years, including 22...
Navigating through the environment typically involves anticipating impending changes in heading trajectory addition to maintaining current direction of travel.We explored neural systems involved "far road" and "near mechanisms proposed by Land Horwood (1995) using simulated forwards or backwards travel.During egomotion distant road edges provided future information, which participants used improve their judgments.During did not enhance performance because they no longer prospective...
Responding to changes in the road ahead is essential for successful driving. Steering control can be modeled using 2 complementary mechanisms: guidance (to anticipate future steering requirements) and compensatory stabilize position-in-lane). Drivers seem rapidly sample visual information needed active gaze patterns, but way which this perceptual combined remains unclear. Influential models of capture many behaviors just 'far' 'near' regions inform respectively (Salvucci & Gray, 2004)....
Background Magnesium (Mg), green tea and rhodiola extracts have, in isolation, been shown to possess stress anxiety relieving effects. Green have modulate EEG oscillatory brain activity associated with relaxation perception. The combined capacity of these ingredients confer protective effects under conditions acute has yet be examined. We tested the hypothesis that a combination Mg (with B vitamins) + would acutely moderate exposure.Methods A double blind, randomised, placebo controlled,...
Evidence accumulation models provide a dominant account of human decision-making, and have been particularly successful at explaining behavioral neural data in laboratory paradigms using abstract, stationary stimuli. It has proposed, but with limited in-depth investigation so far, that similar decision-making mechanisms are involved tasks more embodied nature, such as movement locomotion, by directly accumulating externally measurable sensory quantities which the precise, typically...

Visual control of locomotion typically involves both detection current egomotion as well anticipation impending changes in trajectory. To determine if there are distinct neural systems involved these aspects steering we used a slalom paradigm, which required participants to steer around objects computer simulated environment using joystick. In some trials the whole layout was visible (steering 'preview' trials) so planning trajectory future waypoints possible, whereas other course only...
