Integrated Thermal and Daylight Performance Comparison of Single and Double Glass Skin Facade for Hot Climate Conditions
Visual integration of the building interior and exterior is one of the charms of today's architecture. The Double-Skin facade system is a technology that can reduce the drawbacks of using glass in a building's elevation. In fact, the double-skin façade (DSF) offers transparency while reducing …

Neural Correlates of Auditory -Visual Speech Perception in Noise
… processes underlying a facilitation of auditory-visual speech perception. Previous research has demonstrated that in quiet acoustic conditions auditory-visual speech perception occurs faster (decreased latency) and with less neural activity (decreased amplitude) than auditory-only speech …

Frequency specific deficits in schizophrenia
… the neural mechanisms underlying auditory and visual integration in patients with schizophrenia relative to healthy controls, which requires intact connectivity between the lobes of the brain in order to recombine the sensory information into a complete percept of the external world. Coherence …

Holistic Processing of Verbal and Non-Verbal Information in Single Integrated Visual Objects
… verbal and non-verbal information into a single visual object, which would allow simultaneous, complementary encoding of both dimensions. The main interest of the current work was in the exploration of encoding and retention mechanisms associated with holistic processing. While both pictures and …

Effetti dell'integrazione visuo-acustica in pazienti con disturbo di campo visivo
Human brain is provided with a flexible audio-visual system, which interprets and guides responses to external events according to spatial alignment, temporal synchronization and effectiveness of unimodal signals. The aim of the present thesis was to explore the possibility that such a system might …

Timing the senses and sensing the time: Individual differences in subjective duration
… alpha rhythm, which is strongly associated with visual and audio-visual temporal integration, and behaviour on four timing tasks; while trends are in the expected directions no significant relationship emerges. The second responds to this null result by seeking a relationship between audio-visual …

The Neural Substrates of Multisensory Speech Perception
… of information available in the auditory and visual modalities in a process known as multisensory integration. This allows speech perception to be accurate, even in environments in which one modality or the other is ambiguous in the context of noise. Previous electrophysiological and …

Reduced global processing bias in people with a history of mild traumatic brain injury: Grass everywhere and not a field in sight
… integrate local information (i.e., multiple visual attributes) into the percept of a single global shape. The aim of this thesis was to investigate whether people with a history of mTBI exhibit a reduced ability to integrate local information into meaningful context. Chapter 2 investigated …

Roles of the Dorsal and Ventral Visual Streams In Fluent Reading
… reading literature on phonological awareness, visual deficits have also been observed in disabled readers. Visual processing has been shown to be abnormal in individuals with dyslexia (e.g., Eden et al., 1996), specifically in the dorsal visual stream of the brain, which processes motion. It is …

Real-time Realistic Rendering And High Dynamic Range Image Display And Compression
… focuses on the many issues that arise from the visual rendering problem. Of primary consideration is light transport simulation, which is known to be computationally expensive. Monte Carlo methods represent a simple and general class of algorithms often used for light transport computation. …
