TLDR
The development of a mathematical model to predict the perception of naturalness for a range of materials, based on an understanding of the relationship between the physical attributes of the material and the human sensory inputs is presented.Abstract:
This paper presents the development of a mathematical model to predict the perception of naturalness for a range of materials, based on an understanding of the relationship between the physical attributes of the material and the human sensory inputs. The work is being carried out under an European Union project called 'Measurement of Naturalness' (MONAT), which focuses on understanding the relationships between the physical properties of natural and synthetic materials and the visual and tactile sensory processes that lead to perceptual judgments of naturalness. Integral to the project is the development of novel measurement facilities with dynamic ranges and sensitivities that are relevant for the human sensory systems. The input data to the model are derived from psychophysical and physical studies on pre-selected wood, textile and stone samples. Keyword s: regression, sensory metrology, perceptionread more

Design tools for interdisciplinary translation of material experiences

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present evidence in favour of using isomorphic sets of material stimuli as tools to bridge the disciplinary gap between designers and materials scientists, and explore the relationship between the technical attributes of materials and subjective experiences of their sound, taste and feel.

I can't believe this isn't wood! An investigation in the perception of naturalness
TL;DR: It is found that both vision and touch are highly correlated predictors of visuo-tactile perception of naturalness, suggesting that this construct is represented on a metathetic (categorical) continuum.

Measurement involving human perception and interpretation
TL;DR: In this article, the measurement of features related to human perception and interpretation is discussed and a brief review of the historical framework is presented on the basis of the state-of-the-art.

Modeling perceptions using common impressions: Perceptual “authenticity,” “luxury,” and “quaintness” for leather:
TL;DR: Genuine leather has numerous applications, such as car interiors and clothing, owing to its excellent quality as mentioned in this paper. However, due to the high cost of genuine leather, animal rights issues, and environmen...

Regression Shrinkage and Selection via the Lasso
TL;DR: A new method for estimation in linear models called the lasso, which minimizes the residual sum of squares subject to the sum of the absolute value of the coefficients being less than a constant, is proposed.

Comparing the predictive accuracy of models using a simple randomization test
TL;DR: A simple randomization t -test is proposed for testing the equality of performance of two prediction methods and it is shown that the test can also be applied for classification problems where the predicted entity is qualitative rather than quantitative.

The Natural Truth: The Contribution of Vision and Touch in the Categorisation of Naturalness
TL;DR: It is concluded that both vision and touch contribute, albeit in qualitatively different ways, to the perception of "naturalness", and that a combination of these modalities facilitates this perception.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors aim to understand how basic sensory information generated by the interaction between human sensory transducers and the physical material or artefact under examination is processed within the relevant neural networks and how this contributes to the cognitive processes associated with the perception of naturalness.

TL;DR: Overvliet and van der Heijden as mentioned in this paper have proposed a method for the identification of plant biometrics based on the Soto-Faraco test set, which has been shown to be more accurate than the Sorensen method.
