A novel cross-modal perceptual effect: Sound-induced increase of the non-contact illusion - Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics
Abstract Recent research demonstrates that if two identical squares moving uniformly towards each other suddenly disappear when their leading edges contact, participants will have an illusory perception of the two squares as non-contact before their disappearance. Inspired by the “sound-induced visual segmentation” hypothesis that when two approaching 2D objects reach their closest state, a coincident sound will lead to an overestimation of their distance, the current study explored whether…

After studying the play,
Claus determined Folarin Balogun’s contact with Bosnia’s defender amounted to a “serious foul.”
According to International Football Association Board rules,
serious foul play involves a challenge that uses “excessive force or brutality” or endangers an opponent,
leaving the referee to determine when a line has been crossed.
Balogun technically could face further discipline.
A longer suspension could be appealed,
but discip…

That red card for Folarin Balogun technically could even lead to further discipline.

I just don’t see it as red. I’m admittedly biased, but Balogun is off balance from the mutual contact. It meets some of the standards, but red feels like a rounding up. That he’d didn’t even give a yellow on the field?
In the way this game has been officiated, to then make this call?

Geometry Induced Adaptive Dissipation in Non Linear Contact Hamiltonian Systems Theory and Application to Duffing Oscillator
Vinesh Vijayan, R Sathishkumar, D Kaleeswaran
https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.17055 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2607.17055 https://arxiv.org/html/2607.17055
arXiv:2607.17055v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We develop a generalized contact Hamiltonian framework by extending canonical contact Hamiltonian mechanics to nonlinear dissipative systems through the replacement of the classical linear contact potential with a smooth nonlinear contact potential. The proposed formulation establishes a generalized energy dissipation law together with a structural characterization of admissible contact-induced damping, introducing effective contact dissipation as an intrinsic geometric measure of adaptive dissipation. As an application, a generalized contact Duffing oscillator is derived, in which dissipation emerges intrinsically from the contact geometry rather than being introduced phenomenologically. Numerical investigations of the generalized contact Duffing oscillator demonstrate that nonlinear contact geometry governs the effective dissipation and produces significant changes in the phase-space structure, energy decay, dynamical stability, and long-term nonlinear behavior. The proposed theory therefore provides a systematic geometric framework for constructing and analyzing nonlinear dissipative Hamiltonian systems within contact Hamiltonian mechanics.
