Individual differences in the perception of visual illusions are stable across eyes, time, and measurement methods

Michael Herzog, Aline Françoise Cretenoud, Lukasz Grzeczkowski

Vision scientists have tried to classify illusions for more than a century. For example, some studies suggested that there is a unique common factor for all visual illusions. Other studies proposed that there are several subclasses of illusions, such as il ...

Accurate Nod and 3D Gaze Estimation for Social Interaction Analysis

Yu Yu

Non-verbal behaviours play an important role in human communication since it can indicate human attention, serve as communication cue in interactions, or even reveal higher level personal constructs. For instance, head nod, a common non-verbal behaviour, c ...

Eye Thought You Were Sick! Exploring Eye Behaviors for Cybersickness Detection in VR

Ronan Boulic, Nana Tian

Cybersickness induced through Virtual Reality (VR) applications is still one of its main barriers as it can induce unwanted side-effects in players, significantly hindering the overall experience. Despite the wealth of research available on this topic, it ...

Error Augmentation Improves Visuomotor Adaptation during a Full-Body Balance Task

Olaf Blanke, Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Oliver Alan Kannape, Jemina Fasola

Visual amplification of kinematic errors has successfully been applied to improve performance for upper limb movements. In this study, we investigated whether visual error augmentation can promote faster adaptation during a full-body balance task. Healthy ...

Influence of Artificially Generated Interocular Blur Difference on Fusion Stability Under Vergence Stress

Tomas Lukes

The stability of fusion was evaluated by its breakage when interocular blur differences were presented under vergence demand to healthy subjects. We presumed that these blur differences cause suppression of the more blurred image (interocular blur suppress ...

A gaze-based learning analytics model: in-video visual feedback to improve learner's attention in MOOCs

Pierre Dillenbourg, Patrick Jermann, Kshitij Sharma, Hamed Seiied Alavi

In the context of MOOCs, “With-me-ness” refers to the extent to which the learner succeeds in following the teacher, specifically in terms of looking at the area in the video that the teacher is explaining. In our previous works, we employed eye-tracking m ...

Altered sensory processing and dendritic remodeling in hyperexcitable visual cortical networks

Silvestro Micera

Epilepsy is characterized by impaired circuit function and a propensity for spontaneous seizures, but how plastic rearrangements within the epileptic focus trigger cortical dysfunction and hyperexcitability is only partly understood. Here we have examined ...

Expanding Eye-Tracking Methods to Explain the Socio-Cognitive Effects of Shared Annotations

Andrea Mazzei

Social technologies are leading to transformations in education, by empowering the way learners connect to each other, by introducing new means for teaching and learning and by reshaping the way knowledge is delivered. Annotating texts is a learning strate ...

The missing social instinct : behavioral and functional brain imaging investigations in autism

Nicole Regula Zürcher Wimmer

Smooth social interactions in everyday life rely on spontaneous understanding of emotions and intentions of others, conveyed by subtle social cues, such as gaze and facial expressions. In individuals with autism, however, who represent close to 1% of the p ...

Investigating Gaze of Children with ASD in Naturalistic Settings

Aude Billard, Nouchine Hadjikhani, Basilio Noris

Background: Visual behavior is known to be atypical in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Monitor-based eye-tracking studies have measured several of these atypicalities in individuals with Autism. While atypical behaviors are known to be accentuated during ...
