Spatial coding for action across spatial scales

K Fiehler, H Karimpur - Nature Reviews Psychology, 2023 - nature.com
Humans perform goal-directed actions such as reaching for a light switch or grasping a

An image-computable model of human visual shape similarity

Y Morgenstern, F Hartmann, F Schmidt… - PLoS computational …, 2021 - journals.plos.org
Shape is a defining feature of objects, and human observers can effortlessly compare
shapes to determine how similar they are. Yet, to date, no image-computable model can …

Egocentric cues influence the allocentric spatial memory of object configurations for memory-guided actions

PP Forster, K Fiehler… - Journal of …, 2023 - journals.physiology.org
Allocentric and egocentric reference frames are used to code the spatial position of action
targets in reference to objects in the environment, ie, relative to landmarks (allocentric), or …

Scene semantics affects allocentric spatial coding for action in naturalistic (virtual) environments

BR Baltaretu, I Schuetz, MLH Võ, K Fiehler - Scientific Reports, 2024 - nature.com
Interacting with objects in our environment requires determining their locations, often with
respect to surrounding objects (ie, allocentrically). According to the scene grammar …

The role of perception and action on the use of allocentric information in a large-scale virtual environment

H Karimpur, J Kurz, K Fiehler - Experimental Brain Research, 2020 - Springer
In everyday life, our brain constantly builds spatial representations of the objects
surrounding us. Many studies have investigated the nature of these spatial representations …
