Attention bias toward copulatory movement: An eyetracking study
Čihařová, Barbora ; Bártová, Klára (advisor) ; Hejtmánek, Lukáš (referee)
Pozornostní zkreslení vůči kopulačnímu pohybu: Eyetrackingová studie Abstract The diploma thesis is a part of the project Investigation of male and female sexual reactivity: psychophysiological and subjective responses to videostimuli of the Faculty of Humanities, UK (GA20-03604S). The eyetracking study represents one of three parts of the research and focuses on the level of attention given to non/copulatory sexual movement. Studies examining sexual arousal indicate that both men and women react differently when exposed to various erotic stimuli. For example, men exhibit higher arousal to preferred stimuli directly related to their sexual orientation, while women respond even to subjectively non-preferred stimuli. Researchers explain this phenomenon as a possible sexual response to copulatory movement, where non/preferred stimuli play a less significant role in female arousal than in male arousal. The aim of this research was to test the level of attention towards non/copulatory sexual movement using an eyetracking device. We analyzed eye gazes in both sexes, with the goal of determining whether attention to different videos (copulatory, non-copulatory) differs between heterosexual men and women. The analysis of the resulting measurements did not reveal any significant effects in terms of attentional...

Ontogeny of women's nonverbal displays during their interaction with opposite sex
Slavíková, Kateřina ; Lindová, Jitka (advisor) ; Hejtmánek, Lukáš (referee)
Ethological researchers have been investigated a behaviour of couples when they meet for the first time in the long time. Studies are focused especially on the behaviour in the courtship context. Courtship is a process in which possible mating partners express interest about each other and it can lead to formation of romantic relationship. However, the studies focused on this behaviour of younger people in the same situation are missing. We are interested about behaviour of adolescents, the group of people which starts to step off the isosexual groups (typical for children), to manifest an interest in the opposite sex and to create the first romantic relationships. The aim of this study is to investigate how adolescent girls and adult women behave when they meet an unknown partner for the first time, how the behaviour changes in two situations - the first meeting and after one hour interaction, and which differences we can see in the behaviour of adolescents and adult women. Own research was based on the analyse of video recordings of couples who were recorded in standard environment by hidden camera. There were two situations - the interaction when the unknown couple meet at the first time and the interaction of the same couple when they know each other one hour. The video recordings of ten...

Virtual environments as a tool to study human navigation
Hejtmánek, Lukáš ; Vlček, Kamil (advisor) ; Maršálek, Petr (referee) ; Brom, Cyril (referee)
Navigation is one of the most common forms of cognitive processing, which is natural for all animal species. But the neuroscientific inquiry into navigation in human subjects has been hindered by the requirements of monitoring methods, which usually require subjects to be com- pletely still. Virtual environments allow scientists to study navigation even while the subject remains unmoving, and offer other benefits such as full control over the experimental procedures or precise behavioral recordings. This thesis offers a basic overview of the biology of navigation and presents why navigation is an interesting cognitive process to investigate. It then presents virtual environments, explores how they can help neuroscientists to study navigation and outlines their limitations. Lastly, the literary review tries to address the question if navigation in virtual environments is comparable to navigation in the real world. The empirical part presents five original studies of human navigation and virtual environ- ments. These studies focus on differences of real world and virtual navigation, investigate neural pathways and brain regions involved in spatial processing, and offer examples of how virtual environments can help conduct studies otherwise impossible to do in the real world. One study provides an...
