Nell'ambito dei Reading Group Seminars e del Seminario di Matematica Applicata, il giorno lunedì 16 Marzo 2015, a partire dalle ore 14.30, in Aula C (secondo piano) del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Universita' degli Studi di Milano, Via C. Saldini, 50, Milano,
"Psychophysical models of haptic processes "
Gabriel Baud-Bovy, Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Robotics, Brain and Cognitive Sciences, Genoa
ABSTRACT: Psychophysics is discipline that offers theoretical framework to develop models of perceptual and decisional processes and experimental methods to measure sensation and perception. It was created at the end of the 19th century to bring Psychology into the realm of science. In this talk, I will illustrate this approach by presenting some examples taken on my work on haptic perception. These examples will address the question of various haptic cues might be integrated during haptic exploration and how orientations might be represented internally.
=================
Reading Group Seminars: The Reading Group Seminars (RGS) are organized within an open community of researchers interested in applying up to date mathematical modeling and data analysis approaches to the study of biological systems. The RGS take place at the Math. Department in Milan (via Saldini). Initiatives and updates are published on the website: http://rgs.mat.unimi.it/.
