Aspects of hens’ visual behaviour
… conducted to examine different aspects of hens’ visual behaviour, and to assess whether hens respond to slide images in the same way as they respond to real conspecifics that those slides depict. Experiment 1 was a replication of a study by Candland (1969). Six domestic hens were trained to make …

Visual Information Acquisition, Decision-making, Pacing and Performance during Time Trial Cycling
… processes leading to pacing decisions and behaviour. The aim of this thesis was to measure cyclists’ visual behaviour, using eye-trackers, to determine information acquisition patterns during cycling time trials (TT). The first study found experts looked at primary information longer than …

Towards the improvement of event-related potential techniques in developmental populations
Visual event-related potentials (ERPs) have been widely used during the past two decades to study cognition in developmental populations. One of the main challenges related to current infant ERP practices is the need to obtain good-quality ERPs that provide reliable results with which to examine …

Individual and group dynamic behaviour patterns in bound spaces
The behaviour analysis of individual and group dynamics in closed spaces is a subject of extensive research in both academia and industry. However, despite recent technological advancements the problem of implementing the existing methods for visual behaviour data analysis in production systems …

Visual discrimination and object/picture recognition in hens
… conducted to examine different aspects of hen’s visual behaviour, and to assess whether hens responded to photographs in the same way they do to the real objects that were depicted in the photographs. In Experiment 1, six hens were trained to perform either a conditional discrimination …

Familiarity in natural behaviour: Effect of task, objects and environment on gaze allocation
… environment.<br/><br/>In Chapter 3 we found that visual behaviour changes as a result of the task being undertaken, with more looks to task irrelevant objects, longer eye-hand latencies and more visually guided putdowns of objects made for tea making rather than sandwich making. Analysis revealed …

Molecular Evolution and Functional Characterization of the Visual Pigment Proteins of the Great Bowerbird (Chlamydera nuchalis) and Other Vertebrates
Visual pigments are light sensitive receptors in the eye that form the basis of sensory visual transduction. This thesis presents three studies that explore visual pigment proteins in vertebrates using a number of computational and experimental methods in an evolutionary framework. The objective is …
