Neurons represent spatial information in diverse reference frames, but it remains unclear whether neural reference frames change with task demands and whether these changes can account for behavior.

The state of a physical system has no absolute meaning, but is only defined relative to the observer’s reference frame in the laboratory. The same system may be associated to different states in ...

Shown below is an animation of the motion of A and B as seen by a stationary observer. The paths of A and B are straight, as expected, with the speed of B increasing in time. View of B as seen by an ...

In an inertial frame of reference, a body with zero net force acting on it does not accelerate. When scientists speak of inertial frames of reference, they're invoking a coordinate system with no ...
