A novel cross-modal perceptual effect: Sound-induced increase of the non-contact illusion https://link.springer.com/article/10.3758/s13414-026-03332-6

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…

Radiometric Thermal Imaging Dataset of Laboratory Rats with Anatomical Segmentation Masks

Abstract: Infrared thermography provides a contact-free, restraint-free method to record surface temperatures. It serves as a valuable marker for thermoregulatory responses in laboratory animal stress and pharmacology research. However, the analysis of these images is currently bottlenecked by the manual delineation of anatomical regions. To date, no public dataset has provided paired radiometric thermal frames of rats with pixel-level body-part labels. We present a dataset of 1,655 quality-controlled radiometric thermal frames from 25 laboratory rats. Each frame is paired with a dense four-class anatomical segmentation mask (background, head, body, and tail) and the raw $480 \times 640$ temperature matrix (rows $\times$ columns) in degrees Celsius. This ensures every label is registered directly to the physical temperature it describes rather than a color-mapped rendering. The frames originate from two pharmacological cohorts where interventions alter thermoregulation in opposite directions: ethanol, which induces peripheral vasodilation, and ketamine, which affects central thermoregulation. This provides a wide and physiologically diverse range of surface temperature regimes. Aggregated across the dataset, the per-class temperatures follow a head~$>$~body~$>$~tail ordering in physical units. To demonstrate that the data support pixel-level segmentation directly from the radiometric channel, we present an exploratory U-Net segmentation pipeline that attains a subject-level cross-validated mean intersection-over-union of $0.895 \pm 0.006$. The dataset provides a reuse-ready benchmark for thermal semantic segmentation and for downstream physiological and stress-phenotyping analyses.

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.

K-contact manifolds admitting some geometric solitons with Semi-Symmetric Non-Metric Connection

https://arxiv.org/abs/2609.15147 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2609.15147 https://arxiv.org/html/2609.15147
arXiv:2609.15147v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: In this paper, we introduce some type vector fields with respect to a semi-symmetric non-metric (SSNM) connection. We investigate several geometric properties of a K-contact manifold equipped with an SSNM connection and provide a concrete example to justify the relation between the scalar curvature of the SSNM connection and Levi-Civita connection that we have obtained in this paper. Furthermore, we have found the nature of Riemann solitons, conformal Ricci solitons and conformal $\eta$-Ricci-Yamabe solitons on K-contact manifolds admitting a SSNM connection.\\ Finally, we determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for such a manifold to be $\Tilde{\tau}$-semi-symmetric, quasi-conformal-semi-symmetric and pseudo-projective-semi-symmetric.
