(author)Samenvatting Om naderinzicht te krijgen in de besmettingsrisico’s met SARS-CoV-2 in binnenruimten en welke factoren hierin een rol spelen, is er behoefte aan berekeningsmodellen waarmee we dit kunnen inschatten. De berekening van de kans op een individuele besmetting met Sars-CoV-2 via de aerogene route wordt momenteel vaak bepaald met het...article 2021

(author)The microbiome associated with an animal’s gut and other organs is considered an integral part of its ecological functions and adaptive capacity. To better understand how microbial communities influence activities and capacities of the host, we need more information on the functions that are encoded in a microbiome. Until now, the information...article 2019

(author)Event-related potential (ERP) based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) employ differences in brain responses to attended and ignored stimuli. When using a tactile ERP-BCI for navigation, mapping is required between navigation directions on a visual display and unambiguously corresponding tactile stimuli (tactors) from a tactile control device:...article 2012

(author)Reliable applications of multimodal affective brain-computer interfaces (aBCI) require a detailed understanding of the processes involved in emotions. To explore the modality-specific nature of affective responses, we studied neurophysiological responses (i.e., electrocardiographical/ECG and electroencephalographical/EEG) of 24 subjects during...conference paper 2011

(author)We propose to combine Virtual Reality (VR) and bio-neuro feedback to help treat stress-related disorders. As a first step in that direction, we here attempted to induce stress through VR and identify (neuro)physiological correlates. Nine participants performed a surveillance task in two different cities within VR while EEG, ECG and cortisol...article 2011

(author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)Abstract In this chapter we discuss Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) as navigation devices from a Human Factors point of view. We argue that navigation is more than only steering a car or a wheelchair. It involves three levels: planning, steering and control, linked to cognition, perception and sensation, respectively. We structure the existing...bookPart 2010

Kooi, F.L. (author), Dekker, D. (author), van Ee, R. (author), Brouwer, A.-M. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)Background: About 30% of the population has difficulties detecting the sign and the magnitude of binocular disparity in the absence of eye movements, a phenomenon called stereo-anomaly. The stereo-anomaly tests so far are based on disparity only (e.g. red-green stereograms), which means that other depth cues cannot be used and even provide...article 2010

This paper presents a neuro-bio VR system that combines both methods in order to further improve the prevention and therapy of trauma-related disorders. This system can harmonize the VR exposure to user's...conference paper 2010

(author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)Eye movement recordings do not tell us whether observers are 'really looking' or whether they are paying attention to something else than the visual environment. We want to determine whether an observer's main current occupation is visual or not by investigating fixation patterns and EEG. Subjects were presented with auditory and visual stimuli....conference paper 2009

Brouwer, A.-M. (author), Knill, D.C. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)We investigated whether humans use a target's remembered location to plan reaching movements to targets according to the relative reliabilities of visual and remembered information. Using their index finger, subjects moved a virtual object from one side of a table to the other, and then went back to a target. In some trials, the target shifted...article 2009

(author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)Performance of military operators depends on both physical and cognitive aspects. Enhancement of operator performance should therefore address both the body and the brain. This paper focuses on the latter. We provide an extended list of areas where neuroscientific knowledge may be important like training and mental healthcare. We zoom-in on the...conference paper 2009

de Grave, D.D.J. (author), Hesse, C. (author), Brouwer, A.-M. (author), Franz, V.H.

Gegenfurtner, 2005; R. S. Johansson, G. Westling, A. Bäckström, & J. R. Flanagan, 2001). However, these contact positions are not always visible due to occlusion. Subjects might look at occluded parts to determine...article 2008
