24D– Interview with Dan McGehee, University of Iowa

A discussion with Dan McGehee, Director of the Transportation and Vehicle Safety Research Program in the Public Policy Center at the University of Iowa. We discuss how driver behavior in a simulator compares to a real car, using black box recordings to understand how drivers react just before they crash, using instrumented vehicles to help reduce accidents by teen drivers, the transition to automated driving and his new program mycardoeswhat.

24B - Sport Science Shorts: Bobbing, Weaving & Deceptive Actions

Why do even the most elite athletes sometimes get completely fooled by a killer step-over move in soccer, head fake in football, or cross-over dribble in basketball? Where should an athlete look on their opponent’s body to avoid being deceived?  What brain areas are involved in the perception of deceptive actions?   Articles/links: Detecting Deception in Movement: The Case of the Side-Step in Rugby Deceptive Body Movements Reverse Spatial Cueing in Soccer Fooling the kickers but not the goalkeepers: behavioral and neurophysiological correlates of fake action detection in soccer Brain regions concerned with the identification of deceptive soccer moves by higher-skilled and lower-skilled players https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xw8u0aEVJgo http://www.biomotionlab.ca/Demos/BMLwalker.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0kLC-pridI  More information: http://perceptionaction.com/ My Research Gate Page (pdfs of my articles) My ASU Web page Podcast Facebook page (videos, pics, etc)   Credits: The Flamin' Groovies - Shake Some Action Pheasant – Fools Gold The Above – You Make it Real Mark Lanegan - Saint Louis Elegy via freemusicarchive.org and jamendo.com
