Sprenkeling, M. (author)Hydrogen has the potential to play an important role in the future (sustainable) energy system of the Netherlands and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. For the development and application of energy technologies, it is important to consider social aspects in addition to technical aspects. Based on 14 semi-structured interviews, hydrogen...report 2023

Weda, J. (author), Erp, J.V. (author), Mader, A. (author)The actuation speed of a pressure stimulus may influence its perception threshold. This is relevant for the design of haptic actuators and haptic interaction. We ran a study using a motorized ribbon to apply pressure stimuli (squeezes) to the arm at three different actuation speeds and used the PSI method to find the perception threshold for 21...article 2023

den Camp, O.O. (author), de Gelder, E. (author), Broos, J. (author)To ensure the safe and responsible deployment of vehicles equipped with Automated Driving Systems (ADSs) onto the public road, a safety assessment of such vehicles should be passed successfully. The assessment results should be unambiguous, easily understood by experts in the field, and explainable to authorities and the general public. An...conference paper 2023

Groen, E.L. (author), Clark, T.K. (author), Houben, M.M.J. (author), Bos, J.E. (author), Mumaw, R. (author)Background: It is difficult for accident investigators to objectively determine whether spatial disorientation may have contributed to a fatal airplane accident. In this paper, we evaluate three methods to reconstruct the possible occurrence of the somatogravic illusion based on flight data recordings from an airplane accident. (2) Methods: The...article 2022

Saravanan, A. (author), Tsfasman, A. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author), Oertel, C. (author)In ongoing and consecutive conversations with persons, a social robot has to determine which aspects to remember and how to address them in the conversation. In the health domain, important aspects concern the health-related goals, the experienced progress (expressed sentiment) and the ongoing motivation to pursue them. Despite the progress in...conference paper 2022

van den Hoed, A. (author), Landman, A. (author), van Baelen, D. (author), van Paassen, R. (author), Groen, E.L. (author), Mulder, M. (author)Objective: We tested whether a procedure in a hexapod simulator can cause incorrect assumptions of the bank angle (i.e., the “leans”) in airline pilots as well as incorrect interpretations of the attitude indicator (AI). Background: The effect of the leans on interpretation errors has previously been demonstrated in nonpilots. In-flight,...article 2022

Houben, M.M.J. (author), Meskers, A.J.H. (author), Bos, J.E. (author), Groen, E.L. (author)BACKGROUND:The vestibular Coriolis illusion is a disorienting sensation that results from a transient head rotation about one axis during sustained body rotation about another axis. Although often used in spatial disorientation training for pilots and laboratory studies on motion sickness, little is known about the minimum required rotation rate...article 2022

Reuten, A.J.C. (author), Smeets, J.B.J. (author), Martens, M.H. (author), Bos, J.E. (author)Various studies have demonstrated a role for cognition on self-motion perception. Those studies all concerned modulations of the perception of a physical or visual motion stimulus. In our study, however, we investigated whether cognitive cues could elicit a percept of oscillatory self-motion in the absence of sensory motion. If so, we could use...article 2022

Meskers, A.J.H. (author), Houben, M.M.J. (author), Pennings, H.J.M. (author), Clément, G. (author), Groen, E.L. (author)BACKGROUND: During large angles of self-tilt in the roll plane on Earth, measurements of the subjective visual vertical (SVV) in the dark show a bias towards the longitudinal body axis, reflecting a systematic underestimation of self-tilt. OBJECTIVE: This study tested the hypothesis that self-tilt is underestimated in partial gravity conditions,...article 2021

(author)This study investigates the hypotheses that during passive heat stress, the change in perception of time and change in accuracy of a timed decision task relate to changes in thermophysiological variables gastrointestinal temperature and heart rate (HR), as well as subjective measures of cognitive load and thermal perception. Young adult males (N...article 2021

(author)BACKGROUND: Age-related declines in taste and smell function are widely assumed to contribute to the decrease in appetite and the development of undernutrition in older adults. OBJECTIVES: Here we aim to assess the associations of both taste and smell function with several nutrition-related outcomes in a single study, with poor appetite and...article 2021

Nooij, S.A.E. (author), Bockisch, C.J. (author), Bülthoff, H.H. (author), Staumann, D. (author)Illusory self-motion often provokes motion sickness, which is commonly explained in terms of an inter-sensory conflict that is not in accordance with previous experience. Here we address the influence of cognition in motion sickness and show that such a conflict is not provocative when the observer believes that the motion illusion is indeed...article 2021

Koutsoumpis, A. (author), Economou, E. (author), van der Burg, E. (author)In Helmholtz’s illusion, a square with horizontal stripes appears taller than an identical square with vertical stripes. This effect has also been observed in experiments with human stimuli, where a human figure wearing a dress with horizontal stripes appears thinner than a drawing clad in vertical stripes. These findings do not agree with the...article 2021

(author)Poor taste and smell function are widely thought to contribute to the development of poor appetite and undernutrition in older adults. It has been hypothesized that the oral microbiota play a role as well, but evidence is scarce. In a cross-sectional cohort of 356 older adults, we performed taste and smell tests, collected anthropometric...article 2021

(author)The affective appraisal of odors is known to depend on their intensity (I), familiarity (F), detection threshold (T), and on the baseline affective state of the observer. However, the exact nature of these relations is still largely unknown. We therefore performed an observer experiment in which participants (N = 52) smelled 40 different odors ...article 2020

(author)Learning and imitating a complex motor action requires to visually follow complex movements, but conscious perception seems too slow for such tasks. Recent findings suggest that visual perception has a higher temporal resolution at an unconscious than at a conscious level. Here we investigate whether high-temporal resolution in visual perception...article 2020
