| Four response methods that allow subjects to indicate perceived locations within one meter of their heads were evaluated experimentally. In the Direct-Location (DL) method, the subject moved a response pointer directly to the perceived target location. In the Large-Head (LH) method, the subject moved the response pointer to the perceived location, relative to a manikin head, that corresponded to the location of the target relative to their own head. The ... |

 | Subjective telepresence may be defined quantitatively in terms of the probability that the human operator will perceive him or herself to be located in the remote environment. This idea, which may be extended to include virtual environments, is developed in Schloerb's paper. Given this theoretical approach one might vary parameters of a teleoperation system in an experiment and observe how the degree of subjective telepresence varies. The parameters of a ... |

| The Sensory Communication Group is conducting research on the auditory and tactual senses, speech-reception aids (both auditory and tactual) for individuals who are hearing-impaired or deaf, and human-machine interfaces for teleoperator and virtual-environment systems (involving the visual as well as the auditory and tactual senses). Within the domain of hearing aids, research is being conducted on systems that bypass the outer and middle ear and directly stimulate the auditory nerve ... |

| A subject controllable anti-G valve (SCV) has been built and tested during an initial series of centrifuge runs. Outlet pressure from the SCV over the range of 0-12 psi WITH A MAXIMUM FLOW RATE OFR 13 SCFM. During three gradual onset rate (0.1,0.2,0.4 (3/sec)ramps to S OZ) that were within the allowable limits defined by the standard military specification 9MIL-SPEC). For 30 sec duration plateaus the ... |
