We present in this article experimental results obtained with the dispositif de Lenay : for a localization task (distal perception) and an orientation estimation task (proximal perception of the orientation of a cylinder in a plane). In this last experiment, a virtual version of the Lenay device was used. Results are here used to illustrate methodological and theoretical proposals for the study of cognitive and sensori-motor processes involved in perception.

The main purpose of this research is to analyze the effects of macroeconomic shocks on unemployment fluctuations in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Using the SVECM model on DRC data for the period 1960 to 2014, the conclusion is that the high and persistent level of unemployment is mainly explained permanently by technological and price shocks.
From 2010, the medical transport has become one of the top ten priorities of the risk management plan in France because of the increase in the cost. For social and medico-social institutions (MSI), this cost represents the second after that of the wages. In this context, the project NOMAd aims an overall improvement of the daily transport of people between their home and their (MSI). To this end, we propose the sharing of transport between several ESMS. This mutualization of transport makes possible to gather and optimize routes in a certain geographical area. The challenge is to improve economic performance while maintaining economic, social and environmental goals. From a scientific point of view, the studied problem is called the Time-Consistent-Dial-a-Ride Problem and aims to find a compromise between the objectives of the cost of transport and the consistency of the service. Given the complexity of the problem, we seek, first of all, to solve the problem for half a day. Then we consider the whole week. To solve these problems, we use the Large Neighborhood Search meta-heuristic and a master problem based on the Set Covering Problem.
This work takes part of the development of far-infrared and millimeter astrophysics. We have worked on the data processing and analysis in the fields of the Galactic interstellar medium, through the dust thermal emission, and cosmology through the observation of the cosmic microwave background fluctuations. We have been particularly interested in optimal map-making by inverse linear methods. We have developed a new map-making method for the balloon-borne submillimeter experiment PRONAOS, based on a Wiener inversion matrix, which allows to globally reconstruct the map. The analysis of PRONAOS maps in massive star-forming complexes as Orion and M17 allowed us to discover the large variations of the physical conditions and the dust properties. We showed an anticorrelation between the temperature and the submillimeter spectral index. Our investigations concerning this effect favour causes related to the intrinsic physics of the grains. We have also developed optimal map-making methods for the experiments aiming at measuring the cosmic microwave background fluctuations. The iterative methods that we have developed allow to reconstruct the sky maps very accurately, in spite of the large amount of self-correlated noise present in the timelines. We have also worked on the data processing and analysis for the Archeops balloon-borne experiment.
Paul Bach Y Rita [1] is the precursor of sensory substitutions. He started thirty years ago using visuo-tactile prostheses with the intent of satisfying blind people. These prostheses, called Tactile Vision Substitution Systems (TVSS), transform a sensory input from a given modality (vision) into another modality (touch). These new systems seemed to induce quasi-visual perceptions. One of the authors interests dealt with the understanding of the coupling between actions and sensations in perception mechanisms [4]. Throughout his search, he noticed that the subjects had to move the camera themselves in order to recognise a 3D target-object or a figure placed in front of them. Our work consists in understanding how sensory information provided by a visuo-tactile prosthesis can be used for motor behaviour. In this aim, we used the most simple substitution device (one photoreceptor coupled with one tactile stimulator) in order to control and enrich our knowledge of the ties between perception and action.
Rotating Snakes is a visual illusion in which a stationary design is perceived to move dramatically. In the current study, the mechanism that generates perception of motion was analyzed using a combination of psychophysics experiments and deep neural network models that mimic human vision. We prepared three- and four-color illusion-like designs with a wide range of luminance and measured their strength of induced rotational motion. As a result, we discovered the fundamental law that the effect of the four-color snake rotation illusion was successfully enhanced by the combination of two perceptual motion vectors produced by the two three-color designs. In years to come, deep neural network technology will be one of the most effective tools not only for engineering applications but also for human perception research.
