'Sisi Zlatanova'] Indoor navigation systems have recently become a popular research field due to the lack of GPS signals indoors. Several indoors navigation systems have already been proposed in order to eliminate deficiencies; however each of them has several technical and usability limitations. In this study, we…

Indoor navigation remains a complex challenge due to the absence of reliable GPS signals and the architectural intricacies of large enclosed environments. This study presents an indoor localization and navigation approach that integrates vision-based localization with large language model (LLM)-based navigation. The…

GPS navigation is commonplace in everyday life. While it has the capacity to make our lives easier, it is often used to automate functions that were once exclusively performed by our brain. Staying mentally active is key to healthy brain aging. Therefore, is GPS navigation causing more harm than good? Here we…

The neuroscientific study of human navigation has been constrained by the prerequisite of traditional brain imaging studies that require participants to remain stationary. Such imaging approaches neglect a central component that characterizes navigation the multisensory experience of self-movement. Navigation by active…

'James C. Thompson'] The ability to navigate flexibly (e.g., reorienting oneself based on distal landmarks to reach a learned target from a new position) may rely on visual scanning during both initial experiences with the environment and subsequent test trials. Reliance on visual scanning during navigation harkens…

Enhancing robot navigation efficiency is a crucial objective in modern robotics. Robots relying on external navigation systems are often susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and encounter environmental disturbances, resulting in orientation errors within their surroundings. Therefore, the study employed an…

Flexible goal-directed behaviour relies on the selective processing of internal goal representations and external sensations. Yet, internal and external selection processes have classically been studied in isolation, leaving us in the dark how internal and external selection processes are coordinated in time to support…

—Making data visualizations accessible for people with disabilities remains a significant challenge in current practitioner efforts. Existing visualizations often lack an underlying navigable structure, fail to engage necessary input modalities, and rely heavily on visual-only rendering practices. These limitations…

Web accessibility is actually the most important aspect for providing access to information and interaction for people with disabilities. However, it seems that the ability of users with disabilities to navigate over the Web is not dependent on the graphical complexity, but on the markup used to create the structure of…

Computer scientists and frequent programmers often use “defensive design” philosophy to create robust software, often with the purpose of “breaking” a program to effectively reveal unintended and sometimes devastating edge cases. Imagine if someone inputs a string of code designed to delete an entire database into an…

The goal of the current study was to show the existence of distinct types of survey-based environmental representations, egocentric and allocentric, and provide experimental evidence that they are formed by different types of navigational strategies, path integration and map-based navigation, respectively. After…

Since their discovery in 2004, there has been remarkable progress in research on nanomotors starting with the elucidation of different propulsion mechanisms to the study of their collective behavior, culminating in investigations into their applications in biomedicine and environmental remediation. This perspective…

Conducting neuroscience research in the real world remains challenging because of movement- and environment-related artifacts as well as missing control over stimulus presentation. The present study demonstrated that it is possible to investigate the neuronal correlates underlying visuo-spatial information processing…

As one of the richest sources of encyclopedic information on the Web, Wikipedia generates an enormous amount of traffic. In this paper, we study large-scale article access data of the English Wikipedia in order to compare articles with respect to the two main paradigms of information seeking, i.e., search by…

'Judith M. Shedden'] We used a driving simulator to investigate landmark-based route navigation in young adults. Previous research has examined how proximal and distal landmarks influence route navigation, however, these effects have not been extensively tested in ecologically-relevant settings. We used a virtual town…

Several studies have identified VIPs' information needs while navigating and the challenges that VIPs face , but most of them are aimed at informing the design of NASs that support turn-by-turn navigation. Our focus, on the other hand, is to understand VIPs' information needs and challenges regarding exploring…

Machine olfaction—the artificial replication of the sense of smell—faces significant challenges due to the absence of large, standardized training datasets. Unlike vision, language, and audio models, which benefit from extensive corpora such as ImageNet, GLUE, and AudioSet, olfaction lacks scaled equivalents and…

Employer branding has emerged as a strategic imperative in the quest for talent. However, existing research has predominantly explored stable periods, overlooking the possible transformative impact of crises and the crucial role that HR managers play in crafting internal employer branding strategies. As such, this…

Chemical space is a powerful, general, and practical conceptual framework in drug discovery and other areas in chemistry that addresses the diversity of molecules and it has various applications. Moreover, chemical space is a cornerstone of chemoinformatics as a scientific discipline. In response to the increase in the…
