Abstract of A visual model of collective behavior in crowds, by Gregory C. Dachner, Ph.D., Brown University, May 2021. Collective motion in human crowds emerges …
Interpreting visual representations of abstract concepts (e.g. graphs and signs) requires inferring abstract meanings from visual features (e.g., colors). We predicted that this process would …
Neurocognitive aging is associated with distinct patterns of changes in task-related brain activities in the aging brain. However, the brain mechanisms underpinning such changes are …
Saccadic eye movements are an essential component of visual behavior in human and non-human primates, as they move the sensitive portion of the eye’s retina …
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common eye disorder that can cause legal blindness from progressive retinal deterioration especially in older populations. Past treatments for …
On-line control and model-based control are two general approaches to visual control of human actions. When intercepting a moving target, humans appear to use the …
Perception of the 3D world is intuitive and effortless. The visual system is capable of processing the complexities in the retinal image to produce percepts …
Visual Perceptual Learning (VPL) is the ability to detect, discriminate, or identify visual information through training over a long period of time. While sleep has …
Our daily interaction with the visual world raises questions about how humans identify and categorize visual stimuli. Previous research on the Perceptual Magnet Effect (PME), …
Many actions that are important for successful behavior require information about an object’s threedimensional (3D) shape. Human observers estimate 3D shape based on patterns of …
Key functions of human vision are the perception of one’s environment and interaction with it. Here we investigate the relation between visual perception and visually-guided …
Visual Perceptual Learning (VPL) refers to a long-term enhancement in visual task performance as a result of visual experience. The mechanisms of VPL is constantly …
In recent years, the rising popularity and availability of Virtual Reality (VR) systems has enabled the use of immersive display systems for scientific data exploration. …
