No full textThe University Archives has determined that this item is of continuing value to OSU's history.The media can be accessed here: http://streaming.osu.edu/knowledgebank/mershon10/052410.mp4Shinobu Kitayama is professor of psychology and director of the Culture and Cognition Program at the University of Michigan. His current research focuses on cultural variations in various psychological processes such as self, cognition, emotion, and motivation as well as cultural neuroscience. He teaches courses on social psychology, cultural psychology, emotion and culture, and globalization. Kitayama is the author of the Handbook of Cultural Psychology, with Dov Cohen, (Guilford Press, 2007), The Heart’s Eye: Emotional Influences in Perception and Attention (Academic Press, 1994), and Culture and Emotion: The study of Mutual Influences, with Hazel Markus, (APA Press, 1994). His collaborative work with Hazel Markus on culture and self has had seminal influences in not only psychology but also related disciplines. In addition to serving as co-editor of numerous books, he has also published extensively in leading psychology journals, and he currently serves as Editor-in-Chief of Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, a leading journal in personality and social psychology. Kitayama has received numerous awards and honors including fellowships from the Center for Advanced Study on Behavioral Sciences, Fulbright, and the American Psychological Society. He is also the recipient of a 2010 John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship. Kitayama received his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan and his M.A. and B.A. from Kyoto University.The Ohio State University. Department of PsychologyOhio State University.

Categorical effects on stimulus judgment in American and Chinese students
No full textTo investigate if cognitive processes involved in a perceptual assimilation effect might vary across cultures, the author tested American and Chinese university students in the US and China (American in the US, Chinese in the US & Chinese in China) in a category induction task. Result indicated that all three cultural groups demonstrate an assimilation effect. Importantly, however, this assimilation effect was largest for Chinese in China and smallest for Americans in the US, with Chinese in the US falling right in-between. Implications for the role of culture in basic cognition are discusse
Particle detection using closed-loop active model diagnosis
No full textWe demonstrate a novel closed-loop input design technique on the detection of particles in an imaging system such as a fluorescence microscope. The probability of misdiagnosis is minimized while constraining the input energy such that for instance phototoxicity is reduced. The key novelty of the closed-loop design is that each next input is designed based on the most recent information. Using updated hypothesis probabilities, the input energy distribution is optimized for detection such that unresolved pixels have increased illumination next image acquisition. As compared to conventional open-loop, the results show that (regions of) particles are diagnosed using less energy in the closed-loop approach. Besides the closed-loop approach being viable for particle detection in fluorescence microscopy measurements, it can be developed further to apply in different areas such as sequential object segmentation for reliable and efficient product inspection in Industry 4.0.Team Michel VerhaegenTeam Carlas Smit
Health Institute (1983)

How intent to interact can affect action scaling of distance: reply to Wilson
No full textabstract: Soliman et al. (2013) set out to demonstrate how the bodily level of analysis can unify explanations in psychology. Our argument was that common sensorimotor mechanisms underlie many of the behavioral phenomena that are currently segregated as cognitive, social, or cultural. Toward that end, we re-characterized a cultural construct—self-construal along the dimension of independence and interdependence (Markus and Kitayama, 1991)—as reflecting degree of interaction with ethnically diverse others.View the article as published at http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fpsyg.2014.00513/ful
The rationality problem for finite subgroups of GL4(Q)
No full textAbstractLet G be a finite subgroup of GL4(Q). The group G induces an action on Q(x1,x2,x3,x4), the rational function field of four variables over Q. Theorem. The fixed subfield Q(x1,x2,x3,x4)G:={f∈Q(x1,x2,x3,x4):σ⋅f=ffor anyσ∈G} is rational (i.e. purely transcendental) over Q, except for two groups which are images of faithful representations of C8 and C3⋊C8 into GL4(Q) (both fixed fields for these two exceptional cases are not rational over Q). There are precisely 227 such groups in GL4(Q) up to conjugation; the answers to the rationality problem for most of them were proved by Kitayama and Yamasaki (2009) [KY] except for four cases. We solve these four cases left unsettled by Kitayama and Yamasaki; thus the whole problem is solved completely
