Problems of sensory- and cognitive conspicuity of motorcyclists at junctions: A car to motorcycle comparison of visual search and give-way intentions by car drivers, from two angles of approach
(2015)It is often assumed that motorcyclists have a relatively higher chance of falling victim to car driver right-of-way violations than cars at junctions. Various studies have pointed out this is particularly the case due to ... -
Multisensory Interactions between Olfaction and Touch: The Influence of the Trigeminal and Olfactory Sensation of an Odourant on Roughness Perception
(2015)In this study we investigated the influence of the olfactory and trigeminal sensation of an odourant on roughness perception. We expected that people would judge the tactile surface roughness of four sandpapers as higher ... -

Color Remapping: Perceptual evaluation of colorized nighttime imagery
(2015)In this study an evaluation of different night imagery was conducted. Adding ecologically valid colors to night imagery is thought to result in better scene recognition and object detection. Two experiments were performed ... -
Does expectancy in Lateral Masking explain a target prevalence effect in Visual Search?
(2015)The hypothesis tested in this paper was that manipulating target prevalence has an effect on lateral masking (measured as maximum gaze deviation from the target before it cannot anymore be perceived), which corresponds to ... -
