A Slower Speed of Light: Developing intuition about special relativity with games
2013
International Conference on Foundations of Digital Games
In this paper, we introduce A Slower Speed of Light, a game by the MIT Game Lab to help students understand and visualize these complex phenomena by artificially lowering the speed of light to walking ...
The effects of special relativity are not immediately observable in our everyday lives, so we tend to lack an intuition about them. ...
OpenRelativity provides the public (and, in particular, game designers) with a set of tools for simulating the effects of traveling near the speed of light, demonstrated by A Slower Speed of Light. ...

Visual search under scotopic lighting conditions
2015
Vision Research
Scotopic contrast sensitivity is significantly lower overall, with a functional scotoma in the fovea. ...
When we search for visual targets in a cluttered background we systematically move our eyes around to bring different regions of the scene into foveal view. ...
This could either mean that eye movements are used to bring these images onto the peripheral part of the retina with the highest visibility for a given target (e.g., the development of a pseudo fovea) ...

JEL Classification: G11, G12, G14, O32 2 As discussed in Section 3, models of ambiguity aversion provide a reinforcing argument for a positive innovative originality-return relation. 8 These models include ...
The return predictive power of innovative originality is stronger for firms with higher valuation uncertainty, lower investor attention, and greater sensitivity of future profitability to innovative originality ...
These results indicate that firms with high InnOrig exhibit significantly slower mean reversion, which is consistent with the intuition that high InnOrig allows firms to maintain competitive advantage ...
