Exploiting visual motion to understand our visual world
Motion is important for understanding our visual world. The human visual system relies heavily on motion perception to recognize the movement of objects, to infer the 3D geometry of a scene, and to perceive the emotions of other people. Modern computer vision systems also use motion signals …

A Study of Semantic Association and Reference in the Visual World Paradigm
<p>This study provides an in-depth look at how the memory and language systems interact during spoken language comprehension. Experiment 1 examines how the strength of associative relationships in memory, as measured by lexical co-occurrence based corpus-derived scores (Mutual Information), affects …

Combinatorial semantics in the visual world: A representational account of real-time event processing
… form of interaction) from objects within simple visual scenes, and an account is offered based on the construction of representations from these presented items. These composite representations subsequently facilitate responses to target items, but it is only with a combination of items (e.g. a …

DEAF SPACE AND THE VISUAL WORLD - BUILDINGS THAT SPEAK: AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF
Deaf Space and the Visual World is a set of principles providing understanding of the perceptions and special needs of the deaf. More frequently deaf and hard of hearing school children are attending mainstream public schools, in which deaf-friendly design is not well-understood or implemented. …

Comprehension of gender-neutral forms and the pseudo-generic masculine in German: a visual world eye-tracking study
… In einer Blickbewegungsstudie im "visual world"-Design wurde das Verständnis von Generika unter der Verwendung maskuliner Nomen und GN-Formen für Rollen- und Berufsbezeichnungen im Plural getestet. In komplexen Stimulusszenarien sollte Referenz zu den auf einem Bildschirm …

Image -Percept Integration as a Means to Construct Visual Representations Over Time in Static and Dynamic Displays
The visual world contains more information than can be understood in a single glance. As a result, observers build representations of scenes over time, a constraint on scene processing that requires the interaction of memory and perception. Using a temporal integration paradigm, subjects had to …

Peculiar Eye
… My thesis is a verbal translation of the visual world, a journey of ekphrasis.

Competition between visual stimuli in the monkey parietal cortex
We live in a complicated visual world where stimuli are constantly clamoring for our limited attentional resources. We use our eyes to explore the world and our brain must make moment-to-moment decisions about which points of space contain the most information or which points are associated with …

Physics based supervised and unsupervised learning of graph structure
… a key role in representing and understanding the visual world around us, 3D-shapes and 2D-images alike. In this dissertation, I propose the use of physical or natural phenomenon to understand graph structure. I investigate four phenomenon or laws in nature: (1) Brownian motion, (2) Gauss's law, …

Learning by Watching and Learning by Doing
… babies, we learn how to see by watching how the world changes and by interacting with it. Can we use these same signals to train vision models? In this thesis, we outline several works which use these paradigms as a basis for learning algorithms. First, we explore learning by watching in which …

Visualising the Transexual Self: Photography, Strategies, and Identities
This study explores the role of the visual world in negotiations of gender, selfimage, the body, and the social domain, and the impact this has on the visualisation of transsexual gender identities. These issues are brought into sharp analytical focus through the personal experiences of transsexual …

Learning to Rebel: Socialist Youth Activism in Contemporary Buenos Aires
… I have always paid close attention to the visual world. In my ethnography I attempt to use photographs in a more integrative and meaningful manner than the illustrative role they usually play (i.e. ""here is a 'typical' hut/house""). Sometimes the images are mixed in with my theoretical …

Visualizing object detection features
We introduce algorithms to visualize feature spaces used by object detectors. The tools in this paper allow a human to put on 'HOG goggles' and perceive the visual world as a HOG based object detector sees it. We found that these visualizations allow us to analyze object detection systems in new …

Manipulating spatial frequency to understand global and local information processing in 7-month-old infants
… that infants build representations of their visual world by forming relations among its parts. However little is known about how they select the parts to relate. One possibility is that while constructing their visual world part by part they are also decomposing it, using finer and finer …

Competing Cues in Ambiguous Speech Comprehension: The Role of Visual Competition and Linguistic Context
… these cues interact, particularly when relevant visual information is available. The present study used an adapted visual-world paradigm to examine how visual context, word-meaning frequency, and semantic context affect disambiguation. Results showed that dominant meanings and prior context …

Revealing Connections in Object and Scene Processing Using Consecutive TMS and fMR-Adaptation
When processing the visual world, our brain must perform many computations that may occur across several regions. It is important to understand communications between regions in order to understand perceptual processes underlying processing of our environment. We sought to determine the …

Integrating bottom-up and top-down information
… 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 bottom-up from the visual world. After …

Learning 3D Modeling and Simulation From and For the Real World
… of comprehending and reasoning about our 3D visual world. With just a few casual glances, we can grasp the 3D structure and appearance of our surroundings and imagine all sorts of “what-if” scenarios in our minds. Existing 3D systems, in contrast, cannot. They lack structural understanding of …

Memory for structural information across eye movements
The visual world extends before us in all directions, but there are limitations on how much of the world can be perceived at any one time. To compensate, the eyes move around from point to point in space, and can be directed to objects or regions of interest. Since information is picked up from the …

The processing and production of prosodic focus in French by native and non-native speakers
… 1a and 1b of this dissertation use the visual-world eye-tracking paradigm to examine whether native French speakers and English-speaking L2 learners of French used prosodic focus (in the form of pitch accents) in online sentence interpretation. Experiment 1a revealed that native …
