Multisensory integrationMultisensory integration, also known as multimodal integration, is the study of how information from the different sensory modalities (such as sight, sound, touch, smell, self-motion, and taste) may be integrated by the nervous system. A coherent representation of objects combining modalities enables animals to have meaningful perceptual experiences. Indeed, multisensory integration is central to adaptive behavior because it allows animals to perceive a world of coherent perceptual entities.
Réalité virtuellevignette|250x250px|Personnel de l'U.S. Navy utilisant un simulateur de parachute. L'expression « réalité virtuelle » (ou multimédia immersif ou réalité simulée par ordinateur) renvoie typiquement à une technologie informatique qui simule la présence physique d'un utilisateur dans un environnement artificiellement généré par des logiciels. La réalité virtuelle crée un environnement avec lequel l'utilisateur peut interagir. La réalité virtuelle reproduit donc artificiellement une expérience sensorielle, qui peut inclure la vue, le toucher, l'ouïe et l'odorat (visuelle, sonore ou haptique).
Rindler coordinatesRindler coordinates are a coordinate system used in the context of special relativity to describe the hyperbolic acceleration of a uniformly accelerating reference frame in flat spacetime. In relativistic physics the coordinates of a hyperbolically accelerated reference frame constitute an important and useful coordinate chart representing part of flat Minkowski spacetime. In special relativity, a uniformly accelerating particle undergoes hyperbolic motion, for which a uniformly accelerating frame of reference in which it is at rest can be chosen as its proper reference frame.
Aura (symptom)An aura is a perceptual disturbance experienced by some with epilepsy or migraine. An epileptic aura is a seizure. Epileptic and migraine auras are due to the involvement of specific areas of the brain, which are those that determine the symptoms of the aura. Therefore, if the visual area is affected, the aura will consist of visual symptoms, while if a sensory one, then sensory symptoms will occur. Epileptic auras are subjective sensory or psychic phenomena due to a focal seizure, i.e.
