Source: Laboratory of Jonathan Flombaum—Johns Hopkins University In a staggeringly complex and engaging world, it is crucial to selectively process some stimuli at the expense of others. Experimental psychologists call this ability attention. Specifically, visual attention refers to the ability to selectively process aspects of a visual scene. Many paradigms used to study visual attention involve brief, punctuated, and repeated trials. However, everyday situations often place sustained demands...

Eye tracking has long been used to study gaze patterns in typically-developing individuals, but recent technological advancements have made its use with clinical populations, including autism, more feasible. While eye-tracking young children with autism can offer insight into early symptom manifestations, it involves methodological challenges. Suggestions for best practices are provided.

Eye Tracking in Cognitive Experiments

Eye tracking as the name suggests involves tracking of eye-movements. It is a non-invasive, sensitive tool that quantifies and measures eye-movements to describe an individuals' cognitive state. An eye-movement between two fixation points is called a saccade, which is one of the fastest motor movements in our body. By observing the profiles of these eye movements, scientists can better understand neural deficits in patients with cognitive impairments. In this video, we will first look at an...

We have developed a video-rate tracking microscope system that can record and quantify C. elegans behavior at high resolution and high speeds. We have also developed computational methods to reduce the dimensionality of the worm images to a fundamental set of measurements that completely describe the shape of the worm.
FAQs
Angled blades inside the rotating drum repeatedly lift and tumble the fresh concrete as the vehicle travels. This movement helps keep the mixture distributed throughout the drum rather than allowing components to separate. Maintaining uniformity supports more consistent placement when the concrete reaches the construction site, especially for structural work requiring dependable material behavior.
Drum speed and rotation direction determine whether the system continues mixing or moves concrete toward discharge. Controlled rotation maintains the mixture during travel, while a changed direction supports delivery at the site. These adjustments allow one drum to perform both transport-related mixing and controlled unloading without adding separate handling stages.
Continuous agitation helps limit segregation, which is the unwanted separation of concrete components, while also reducing the risk of premature setting before placement. Preserving workability means the material remains more suitable for handling and discharge when it arrives. This directly supports consistent construction results when delivery occurs between a batching plant and a work site.
Mobile mixing capacity connects concrete preparation, transport, and placement within one coordinated delivery process. By maintaining the material in the truck and reducing handling steps, it can simplify movement from the batching plant to the site. This integration also helps engineers and construction teams coordinate concrete delivery with demanding schedules for large projects.
The workflow begins with fresh concrete prepared at a batching plant and loaded into the truck. During travel, the drum rotates to keep the material mixed and workable. After arrival, drum rotation is adjusted for discharge, allowing the concrete to be placed at the construction site while limiting additional handling between production and use.
Agitator Trucks support concrete placement for foundations, bridges, roads, buildings, and other large structures. These applications depend on moving fresh concrete from production to the point of use while preserving its uniformity and workability. Their role is especially relevant where coordinated delivery and reliable placement are important parts of the construction schedule.
Using this equipment can improve material consistency, reduce the number of handling steps, and support more reliable placement. The rotating drum helps preserve the concrete's condition during movement, while adjustable operation enables discharge at the site. Together, these functions help align concrete delivery with construction demands and support consistent execution across major engineering works.
