“…Artificial synaesthesia, also known as synthetic synaesthesia, is induced voluntarily, consciously and deliberately as a result of proper training and learning. It means transporting sensations from one sensual modality to another, for example, processing visual sensations into hearing ones, or tactile into visual sensations while using special instruments constructed for this purpose and aiding perception with persons visually impaired (Foner, 1999;Mejier, 1992;Proulx & Stoering, 2006;Proulx, 2010;Ward & Meijer, 2010). This sensation is of compensatory nature resulting from flexibility of brain.…”

This article is an attempt to synthesize the current knowledge about synaesthesia from many fields such as literature, arts, multimedia, medicine, or psychology. The main goal of this paper is to classify various types and forms of synaesthesia. Besides developmental synaesthesia being likely to play a crucial role in developing cognitive functions (constitutional or neonatal synaesthesia) there are types of synaesthesia acquired during adulthood (e.g., phantom or artificial synaesthesia), momentary synaesthesia triggered temporarily in people who do not show signs of synaesthesia every day (e.g., virtual, narcotic, or posthypnotic synaesthesia), and associational synaesthesia which, semantically speaking, refers to some universal sense relations (e.g., literary, artistic, and multimedia synaesthesia). There is a hypothesis that every kind of synaesthesia holds a different function-compensatory or integrative. It was suggested that synaesthesia can be described in one dimension, showing the intensity of this phenomenon. The stronger types of synaesthesia are: semantic, conceptual, intermodal, synthetic, comprehensive, external and bidirectional. The weaker types of synaesthesia are: sensory, perceptual, intramodal, analytic, partial, internal and unidirectional. There are huge individual differences in the manner that synaesthesia presents itself. By including a classification of kinds, types, and forms of synaesthesia into future experimental research will ensure a better understanding of the nature of this phenomenon, its mechanisms and the role that it plays in developing cognitive processes.

“…There are several possible fields of use for miniature spectrometer modules, for example, agriculture [1,2], food industry [3,4], health care [5], augmented sensory systems [6], and remote sensing [7][8][9]. Miniature spectrometer modules are most advantageous in those applications where essential demands to the measurement system include autonomy, ruggedness, small size, low weight, and/or limited power consumption.…”

Dark Signal Temperature Dependence Correction Method for Miniature Spectrometer Modules

A dark signal temperature dependence correction method for miniature spectrometer modules is described in this paper. It is based on laboratory measurements of dark signal temperature dependence at few different integration times. A set of parameters are calculated which make it possible to estimate dark signal at any temperature and integration time within reasonable range. In field conditions, it is not always possible to take frequent dark signal readings during spectral measurements. If temperature is recorded during the measurement, this method can be used for estimating dark signal for every single spectral measurement. The method is validated on two different miniature spectrometers.

“…For example, displaying a force vector at the point of contact might give the user a better understanding of the nature of the contact. It is important to study as many different types of visualization, sonification (Foner, 1999), etc. techniques as we can, in order to have some confidence that we will identify usable ones.…”

Virtual Contact: The Continuum from Purely Visual to Purely Physical

Providing appropriate cues to users when interacting with objects in immersive virtual environments (IVEs) is a difficult task. In addition to individual user differences, environmental factors, and task-specific requirements, the technological complexity of the current state of the art in haptic feedback further increases the difficulty. Though the technology continues to improve, we are still a long way from having haptic feedback that meets the demands of a "general solution" to the problem. This paper focuses on ways of providing effective contact cues in IVEs, starting with purely-visual approaches and moving along a continuum to the use of actual physical objects as high-fidelity interfaces.
