The Phenomenology of Visual Experience
Our visual experiences of the world around us deliver information about the visible features of the objects we see. What these features are, however, is still up for debate. On the one hand, most philosophers agree that if our visual systems are functioning normally, “low-level” features such as …

Austinian Disjunctivism Defended: A Presentational Theory of Visual Experience
… a general theory about the nature of conscious visual experience. My starting point is with the naïve realist theory of visual perception. Whilst naïve realism is by no means universally endorsed, I begin with the assumption that we have good reason to accept it. The central question that the …

An Investigation into the Positive Visual Experience Design for the Elderly
Visual impression is the first impact on human perception through receiving and assessing the external information observed by the eyes. Therefore, product appearance is closely linked to the human’s visual experience and can affect human’s mood throughout the process of information perception and …

Visual Experience in Temporal Situational Context: Method of Matching and Modeling in Design
… computational design system needs to incorporate visual experience to efficiently craft compelling human-centric visual designs. However, the computation of visual experience, which includes perception, cognition, emotion, and action, is challenging due to its subjective, non-deterministic, and …

Effects of early and delayed visual experience on intersensory functioning in bobwhite quail chicks
… of the relative importance of early vs. delayed experience to behavioral development has proven to be a difficult one to address empirically. I focused on this issue by manipulating the timing of the onset of visual experience of avian embryos and hatchlings. Normally reared bobwhite quail chicks …

Mind-craft: Exploring the relation between "digital" visual experience and orientation in visual contour perception
<p>Visual perception depends fundamentally on statistical regularities in the environment to make sense of the world. One such regularity is the orientation anisotropy typical of natural scenes; most natural scenes contain slightly more horizontal and vertical information than oblique information. …

Reappraising an American Jewish Nostalgic Image: The Old World as Mid-20th Century Visual Experience
… stage plays, film, and museum exhibitions – are visual in nature, and communicate their nostalgic message through their constitution as an image. This thesis contributes novel considerations for the discussion of mid-century Jewish nostalgia by examining the Old World’s representation between the …

A view of the Green Line: a renewal plan for visual experience in Chicago’s South Side stations
Elevated rapid railroads have special visual qualities. Riders can see how the city is organized, the shape of the city`s skyline, city land use, and most important, how the city relates to itself. This thesis uses a phenomenological approach to visual theory that expands upon the seminal work of …

Auditory-Visual System Interactions: Perinatal Visual Experience Affects Auditory Learning and Memory in Bobwhite Quail Chicks (Colinus virginianus)
… perceptual development and the role of early experience on learning ability have yet to be examined. The present study examined how auditory learning capacity in bobwhite quail chicks is affected by the interrelationship between the developing auditory and visual systems in late prenatal/early …

Neural Plasticity and the Development of Intersensory Functioning in Bobwhite Quail (Colinus virginianus)
… perception. For example, unusually early visual experience can produce a facilitative effect on subsequent postnatal perceptual responsiveness, while substantially augmented prenatal visual stimulation can interfere with early postnatal responsiveness. In constructing a link between early …

Form in Darkness: Linking Visual Cortex Structure With Spontaneous Neural Function
Spontaneous neural activity within visual cortex is synchronized at varying spatial scales, from the cytoarchitecural level of individual neurons to the coarse scale of whole regions. The neural basis of this synchronicity remains ambiguous. In this thesis, we focus on the role visual experience …

Is conscious perception a continuous or dichotomous phenomenon?
Is our conscious visual experience of the world characterised by events that appear suddenly or gradually in our awareness? This apparently simple question has proved difficult to resolve. Inspired by the global neuronal workspace theory, the dichotomous view (e.g. Sergent and Dehaene, 2004) …

Modified postnatal social experience alters intersensory development of bobwhite quail chicks
… have begun to explore the features of perinatal experience which facilitate infants’ abilities to integrate information from the various sensory modalities. The present study utilized a precocial avian infant, the bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus), to explore 1) what types of postnatal social …

Modelling external light transmission through to the human fetus
Little is known about the visual experience of human fetuses within the womb. For many years, the uterus was assumed to be a dark environment, limited only to illumination under intense radiation. Recent research, however, shows that the human fetus exhibits brain activity when presented with …

Seeing the God of New Mexico: Mary Austin's Starry Adventure and the Optic of Enchantment
… Mexican modernism/primitivism movement in the visual arts. I explore what I call Austin's "optic of enchantment," a visual experience of divinity that is uniquely tied to the New Mexican landscape. I break down this optic of enchantment into three distinct and definitive facets: First - a …
