The influence of moving auditory stimuli on standing balance in healthy young adults and the elderly

Article Abstract:

The effect that auditory stimuli has on maintaining standing balance is examined, focusing on a study that compares the balance performance of young adults with elderly adults. Results indicate elderly adults sway more than younger adults when auditory stimulation changes under conditions of reduced visual and tactile feedback.

Temporal variation in the luminance level of stimuli displayed on a cathode-ray tube monitor: Effects on performance on a visual vigilance task

Article Abstract:

The possibility that vigilance decrement may be modulated by temporal luminance fluctuations of the monitor screen was investigated. The results suggest that a severe control of the luminance levels of stimuli displayed on a cathode-ray tube (CRT) monitor screen is required to prevent temporal variations in luminance.

Ocular measures of redundancy gain during visual search of colour symbolic displays

Article Abstract:

An experiment on visual search strategies of displays reveals that viewers who are cued to the visual coding schemes were faster at interpreting the scheme in the display. This suggests that certain color schemes can be used to guide a viewers' speed of perception of a display, Details are discussed.
