Decoding electroencephalographic responses to visual stimuli compatible with electrical stimulation

Silvestro Micera, Simone Romeni, Laura Toni, Fiorenzo Artoni

Electrical stimulation of the visual nervous system could improve the quality of life of patients affected by acquired blindness by restoring some visual sensations, but requires careful optimization of stimulation parameters to produce useful perceptions. ...

SVGC-AVA: 360-Degree Video Saliency Prediction With Spherical Vector-Based Graph Convolution and Audio-Visual Attention

Pascal Frossard, Chenglin Li, Li Wei, Qin Yang, Yuelei Li

Viewers of 360-degree videos are provided with both visual modality to characterize their surrounding views and audio modality to indicate the sound direction. Though both modalities are important for saliency prediction, little work has been done by joint ...

Course Design - A Visual and Modular Approach

Marc Laperrouza

This book has been designed for instructors in higher education or adult training who wish to develop a new course or revise an existing one. It adopts a practical, visual, and modular approach based on the principle of constructive alignment. At its heart ...

GANs for All: Supporting Fun and Intuitive Exploration of GAN Latent Spaces

Pierre Dillenbourg, Richard Lee Davis, Kevin Gonyop Kim, Wei Jiang

We have developed a new tool that makes it possible for people with zero programming experience to intentionally and meaningfully explore the latent space of a GAN. We combine a number of methods from the literature into a single system that includes multi ...

Advances in visual prostheses: engineering and biological challenges

Diego Ghezzi, Eleonora Borda

Vision is an extraordinary sense through which we can appreciate the beauty of the world we live in, gain invaluable knowledge and communicate with others using visual expression and arts. On the contrary, blindness is a threatening medical condition disru ...

Combining Visual and Textual Features for Semantic Segmentation of Historical Newspapers

Frédéric Kaplan, Maud Ehrmann, Sofia Ares Oliveira, Raphaël Barman

The massive amounts of digitized historical documents acquired over the last decades naturally lend themselves to automatic processing and exploration. Research work seeking to automatically process facsimiles and extract information thereby are multiplyin ...

The time course of serial dependence: an interplay between perceptual decisions and task relevant representations

Michael Herzog, David Pascucci, Gizay Ceylan

In serial dependence (SD), features of a present stimulus are judged as similar to previously presented ones. This bias is often explained by a continuity field (CF) in perception, combining similar stimuli in an extended region of space (∼ 15°) and time ( ...

Effect of Indoor Temperature and Glazing with Saturated Color on Visual Perception of Daylight

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Giorgia Chinazzo

This paper presents the combined effect of indoor temperature (19 degrees C, 22 degrees C, and 26 degrees C) and colored glazing (blue, orange, and neutral) on visual perception of daylight. Experiments were performed in an office-like test room, in which ...

What is the 'spectral diet' of humans?

Marilyne Andersen, Forrest Simon Webler, Manuel Spitschan

Our visual perception of the world - seeing form and colour or navigating the environment - depends on the interaction of light and matter in the environment. Light also has a more fundamental role in regulating rhythms in physiology and behaviour, as well ...

Visualizing constructive alignment in the process of course design

Marc Laperrouza

Course design in higher education is often approached in a very linear and text-based manner. The paper presents a visual tool in the form of a canvas aimed at accompanying teachers in the design of courses. The canvas can be used in an individual or co-te ...

Unified framework to evaluate non-visual spectral effectiveness of light for human health

Marilyne Andersen, María Lovísa Ámundadóttir, Steven W. Lockley

The discovery of a novel non-rod, non-cone photoreceptor in the mammalian eye that mediates a range of ‘non-visual’ responses to light has required reexamination of how lighting needs for human health are characterized and evaluated. Existing literature pr ...

Design Methods for Miniature Underwater Soft Robots

Francesco Mondada, Daniel Burnier, Norbert Crot, Frank Bonnet

A robotic fish accepted by animals as conspecifics is a very powerful tool in behavioral biology. To obtain the acceptance of the device towards the animals, it should generate some visual stimuli that can be perceived by a living fish as attractive signal ...

Mandatory feature integration across retinotopic locations

Michael Herzog, Leila Drissi Daoudi - Kleinbauer

Although visual integration is often thought to be retinotopic, visual features can be integrated across retinotopic locations. For example, when a Vernier is followed by a sequence of flanking lines on either side, a percept of two diverging motion stream ...

Effects of realistic office daylighting and electric lighting conditions on visual comfort, alertness and mood

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Friedrich Linhart, Apiparn Borisuit

Lighting conditions in workplaces contribute to a variety of factors related to work satisfaction, productivity and well-being. We tested whether different photometric variables also influence visual perception and the comfort of the lighting, as well as s ...

Vision in clutter : neural correlates of visual crowding

Vitaly Chicherov

Perception of a visual target can strongly deteriorate in the presence of flanking elements (crowding). Crowding is the main limiting factor in reading and a major contributor to poor vision in amblyopia. In crowding, elements appear jumbled and thus are h ...

Improving Human-Compiler Interaction Through Customizable Type Feedback

Martin Odersky, Heather Christine Klug, Hubert Plociniczak

Type errors reported by compilers can sometimes be cryptic, or difficult to understand. In this paper, we propose a type debugging framework that exposes a high-level representation of the typechecking decision-making process that users normally do not hav ...

Visual and Force Feedback Time-Delays Change Telepresence: Quantitative Evidence from Crossmodal Congruecy Task

Olaf Blanke, Hannes Bleuler, Michiel van Elk

In the field of surgical robotics, it is difficult to find objective assessment techniques for evaluating telepresence. In this study we try to merge the concepts from cognitive neuroscience more specifically from the field of tool incorporation (embodimen ...

Beyond illumination: An interactive simulation framework for non-visual and perceptual aspects of daylighting performance

Marilyne Andersen, María Lovísa Ámundadóttir, Antoine Guillemin, Siobhan Francois Rockcastle

This paper presents a proof-of-concept for a goal-based simulation structure that could offer design support for daylighting performance aspects beyond conventional ones such as illumination, glare or solar gains. The framework uses a previously establishe ...
