Observability-driven double-rotation self-calibration of non-rotational symmetry errors in laser direct writing lithography.

Coaxial computer-generated holograms (CGHs) are widely applied in high-precision wavefront testing of coaxial optical systems. Non-rotational symmetry error of these CGHs is one of the dominant error sources, which is critically determined by the stage errors of the laser direct writing system. However, existing approaches typically require high-precision reference masks, and the calibration area cannot exceed 6 inches, which limits their applicability and efficiency. In this study, an observability-driven self-calibration method was proposed to reconstruct non-rotational symmetry errors based…

Writing direction influences the spatial representations of past- and future-tense forms: Evidence from eye tracking.

The present study tests the hypothesis that the directionality of reading habits (left-to-right or right-to-left) impacts individuals' representation of nonspatial events. Using the blank screen paradigm, we examine whether eye movements reflect culture-specific spatial biases in processing temporal information, specifically, grammatical tense in Russian and Hebrew. Sixty-two native speakers of Russian (a language with a left-to-right reading and writing system) and 62 native speakers of Hebrew (a language with a right-to-left reading and writing system) listened to verbs in the past or future…

Delineating the cognitive-neural substrates of writing: a large scale behavioral and voxel based morphometry study.

The current study investigated the cognitive and neural substrates that underpin writing ability. We explored similarities and differences in writing numbers and words and compared these to language and manual actions in a large group of sub-acute, stroke patients (n = 740). The behavioral data showed association and dissociation in the ability to write words and numbers. Comorbidities of writing deficits with both language and motor impairments were prevalent, with less than a handful showing deficits restricted to the writing tasks.
