Experience and perception
To what extent can experience shape perception? In what ways does perception vary across people or even within the same person at different times? This thesis presents three lines of research examining the role of experience on perception. The first section presents evidence from synesthesia …

Dynamic sonar perception
Reliable sonar perception is a prerequisite of marine robot feature-based navigation. The robot must be able to track, model, map, and recognize aspects of the underwater landscape without a priori knowledge. This thesis explores the tracking and mapping problems from the standpoint of …

Nonparametric directional perception
Artificial perception systems, like autonomous cars and augmented reality headsets, rely on dense 3D sensing technology such as RGB-D cameras and LiDAR. scanners. Due to the structural simplicity of man-made environments, understanding and leveraging not only the 3D data but also the local …

Lost in Perception
Lost in Perception is a manuscript of narrative poems that are unflinching honest explorations of the self—emotional states-of-mind such as anxiety and anger, and states-of-being such as feelings of self-worthlessness. Confessional in nature these poems derive from familial relationships, domestic …

Behavorial Assessment of Synesthetic Perception: Color Perception and Visual Imagery in Synesthesia
… with participants with colored synesthetic perceptions having lower TES scores (M = 20.40) than synesthetes without colored concurrents (M = 34.00) and participants without synesthesia (M = 34.63). An independent samples t-test revealed no significant differences between synesthetes and …

Intention Perception and Meaning
… how threats to meaning impact subsequent perceptions of intentionality. Following threats to meaning, we predict that an intentionality ascription bias will emerge as an attempt to restore meaning a la the meaning maintenance model (Heine, Proulx, & Vohs, 2006). We did not find threats to …

Perception and Nonconceptual Apprehension
… a problem at the heart of debates about how perception guides our actions and deliberations. The problem arises from the independent plausibility but mutual inconsistency of the following theses: * Some perceptions provide us reasons * Only belief-like states provide us reasons * No …

Kinesthetic perception and schizophrenia
… by kinesthetic stimulation. Kinesthetic perception, for the purpose of this study, was restricted to the reproduction of single arm-hand movements in a horizontal plane, away from the body. The magnitude of errors as a function of distance moved was defined as an indicator of kinesthetic …

Police perception of danger
… Still, gaps remain in understanding officers' perceptions of danger. This study addresses these gaps by exploring the concept of subjective danger perception, a cognitive and emotional response to potential physical or psychological harm. The study identifies that environmental cues influence …

Predictive Perception in Autism
This thesis investigates how predictive perception, motor coordination, and neurotype differences influences social perception in autism. It explores how these mechanisms contribute to social difficulties faced by autistic people, through the lens of the double empathy problem and second-person …

Reading Ability and Perception
<p>Skilled reading can be partly understood as a set- of interrelated component processes (Perfetti & Lesgold, 1979). The efficiency with which any one of these component pro cesses operates could limit or improve the efficient opera tion of the other component processes. However, there is some …

Machines' perception of space
… systems that have similar behaviors to humans' perceptions of space in geometric aspects will be developed employing techniques such as isovist and machine learning, and trained with open-sourced datasets, self-generated datasets or crowdsourced datasets. The proposed systems simulate behaviors …

Machine mediated human perception
… physical environment and its influence on human perception has been constrained. The constraint is partially due to the difficulty of assessing perception and physical features through objective mathematical models. The idea of this thesis is to explore how machine learning can contribute to …

Individual Differences in Face Perception
… Despite a rich body of literature on face perception, the mechanisms involved in perceiving and interpreting faces remain enigmatic. In this work I explore individual variations in face perception. Individual differences have been studied across many domains of perception because these …
