Multidimensional Approach to Comparative Avian Visual Systems
<p>Since the birth of visual ecology, comparative studies on how birds see their world have been limited to a small number of species and tended to focus on a single visual trait. This approach has constrained our ability to understand the diversity and evolution of the avian visual system. The …

Colorful eggs and plumage in birds: ecological drivers of color patterns filtered through bird visual systems
Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2023-12-01

Visual Opsin Diversity in Anurans
… anurans are understudied with regards to their visual systems and how they function. This study sampled North American anurans representing diverse evolutionary and life histories and which likely possess visual systems adapted to meet different ecological needs. Using standard molecular …

Large-scale Trends in Vision Systems: Novel Methods for Identifiability
… of more performant and human-like AI systems. However, despite ANNs having been proposed as models of primate visual systems, the success in predicting both neural and behavioral responses of primates by ANNs has not been without contention. Increasing architectural and dataset sizes …

A sensory system for robots using evolutionary artificial neural networks.
… Vision System for an animat that can analyse a visual scene in uncontrolled environments. Inspiration was drawn both from Biological Visual Systems and Artificial Image Recognition Systems. Several Biological Systems including the Insect, Toad and Human Visual Systems were studied alongside …

Devleopmnet of Distriubted Nueral Sysetms for Readnig in Heatlhy and Brian-Injrued Chlidren (If you can read this, you have a well-developed whole word reading system. It should read Development of Distributed Neural Systems for Reading in Healthy and Brain-Injured Children)
… be read by decoding, which involves mapping the visual form to its auditory counterpart before meaning is accessed, or directly, by linking meaning to the word form as a whole. Clinical cases and neuroimaging studies have suggested separate, yet interacting, neural pathways may underlie these …

Virtual reality-based investigation of four cognitive theories for navigation
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) refer to an integrated group of technologies which can improve safety, reduce congestion, enhance mobility, minimize environmental impact, save energy, and promote economic productivity in our transportation system. A driver-centered design philosophy will …

Sensation vs. perception : a study and analysis of two methods affecting cognition
… on physiological information processing in visual systems, and the phenomenological theories of sensation and perception according to Kant, Hegel, Husserl, and Merleau-Ponty.

Auditory-Visual System Interactions: Perinatal Visual Experience Affects Auditory Learning and Memory in Bobwhite Quail Chicks (Colinus virginianus)
… with the relative status of emergent sensory systems throughout prenatal and postnatal development. It has also been shown that young infants can learn perceptual information during perinatal development. However, the exact nature of the relationship between prenatal and postnatal perceptual …

Integrating bottom-up and top-down information
… that make it easier to build computer vision systems that mimic the way human visual systems process information. In particular, we humans humans create models of objects around us, and we use these models, top-down, to interpret, analyze and discern objects in the information that comes …

Dynamic lighting and its impact on the behaviour of marine invertebrates
… environmental noise may have on their sensory systems, many animals adapt their behaviour when exposed to environmental stimuli that interfere with their ability to detect information from their habitat. Understanding if and how animals are affected by environmental noise, therefore, allows us …

Personality in Stomatopod Crustaceans
… on their agonistic interactions and complex visual systems. Despite their broad behavioral repertoire, stomatopods have not yet been investigated for consistent behavioral differences at the individual level, referred to as animal personality. Fifteen individual <em>Neogonodactylus …

Systems of Visualization for Musical Futures
This thesis investigates how large-scale visual systems can communicate the presence, agency, and foresight of improvising musical agents–human and AI–during live performance. We propose a framework for manifesting AI collaborators on stage through five principles: musical transparency, live …

Existing tactile sensors feel their surroundings by sensing many different types of tactile signals such as pressure, contact position, or contact shape. This thesis introduces a novel method for measuring and …
