And this logic, familiar to any Park Avenue internist, helps explain why so many of the hands-on objects in "Art and Oracle" radiate prestige-item glamour.
In the more limited group, many are in wheelchairs or cannot look up at the art, so guides offer them hands-on objects, like a piece of fabric or a small statue.
While some Montessori coursework may involve writing, spelling, drawing, and other activities that are done at a desk or table with pencil and paper, Montessori teachers look for opportunities for students to learn by manipulating hands-on objects like blocks, beads, and specially-designed Montessori teaching materials.
After off-line artifact rejections, VEPs were computed covering 400 ms after the onset of hand-on-object interaction.
Each trial was modeled as a single event, starting at the onset of the hand-on-object interaction.
During the IIT task, participants were instructed to attend to a series of 3 s-video-clips displaying natural hand-on-object actions.
The main differences between the NI and RI conditions were observed at two different time periods after hand-on-object interaction: the first occurred between 62 and 130 ms; the second difference occurred between 332 and 400 ms post hand-on-object interaction (Figure 4).
Every video clip consisted of the following sequence: a fixation cross (150 ms), an object without context or an object within two different contexts (T0; 500 ms), and a hand-on-object action with or without contexts (T1; 2000 ms; Figure 1B).
VEPs data from novel and repeated intentions were then submitted to a brain microstate analysis in order to detect every period of brain state stability (microstate) after hand-on-object interaction [45].
EEG global field power was reduced with repeated intentions at an early (starting at 60 ms) and a later (∼330 ms) period after the onset of a hand-on-object encounter.
Still, laying hands on such objects has taught me three things about art I didn't know before.
