Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decision Processes in Visual Perception explores the relationships between the organization of a complex visual pattern by the perception system and the molecular activity involved in the discrimination of differences in magnitude or intensity between two stimulus elements. The text discusses the basic principles of discrimination, identification, and self-regulation of the perception system; demonstrates how adaptive decision modules emerge from multiple constraints; shows how combinations of simple decisions lead to complex judgmental tasks; and synthesizes traditional approaches to perception in order to clarify the crucial and pervasive role of these modules in the overall activity of perceptual organization. Psychologists, neuroscientists, molecular biologists, and physiologists will find the book invaluable.

Download or read book Perception beyond Inference written by Liliana Albertazzi and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2023-09-19 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proposing a new paradigm for perceptual science that goes beyond standard information theory and digital computation. This book breaks with the conventional model of perception that views vision as a mere inference to an objective reality on the basis of "inverse optics." The authors offer the alternative view that perception is an expressive and awareness-generating process. Perception creates semantic information in such a way as to enable the observer to deal efficaciously with the chaotic and meaningless structure present at the physical boundary between the body and its surroundings. Vision is intentional by its very nature; visual qualities are essential and real, providing an aesthetic and meaningful interface to the structures of physics and the state of the brain. This view brings perception firmly in line with ethology and modern evolutionary biology and suggests new approaches in all disciplines that study, or require an understanding of, the ontology of mind. The book is the joint effort of a multidisciplinary group of authors. Topics covered include the relationships among stimuli, neuronal processes, and visual awareness. After considering the mind-dependent growing of information, the book treats time and dynamics; color, shape, and space; language and perception; perception, art, and design.

Download or read book Comparative Color Vision written by Gerald Jacobs and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-06-11 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comparative Color Vision provides information about the means by which color vision has been studied in nonhuman animals and about the outcomes of these studies for a variety of representative species. Individuals who become interested in color vision in animals come from a variety of different educational backgrounds—from the traditional biological and behavioral sciences as well as from more applied fields. Accordingly, this book includes sufficient tutorial information about color vision so that a relative newcomer would be able to make sense out of this area without having to search out still more background material. To provide this, basic information about the psychophysics of color vision and about the methods used to study color vision in animals is presented; along with coverage of the broad range of biological mechanisms responsible for color vision. Subsequent chapters present systematic reviews of studies of color vision in a wide selection of vertebrate species. The final chapter is devoted to a discussion of two fascinating issues raised by studies of animal color vision: the evolutionary origins and the functional utility of color vision.

Download or read book Modern Issues in Perception written by E.A. Geissler and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2000-04-01 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book deals with two focal issues: 1. The structural rules according to which information is organized in perception (Part I). 2. The rules on how pieces of information are integrated and transformed into judgements (Part II). Included in Part I are theories on neural mechanisms and models linking perception and memory. Part II refers to simple physical and complex semantic dimensions. Antecedents in animal behaviour are explored too. The book is intended for a broad readership; it should stimulate research which will link topics that have been traditionally separated. Features of the book are: - a synopsis of discrete, structural and quantitative aspects of perception linking perception with higher cognition and memory. - an overview on new approaches and findings from East and West on perceptual organization and rules inherent to judgement. - the chapters are strongly interconnected and didactical in tone. Introductions are designed to increase readability of the work.
Download or read book The Perception of Visual Information written by William Thomson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human knowledge is primarily the product of experiences acquired through interactions of our senses with our surroundings. Of all the senses, vision is the one relied on most heavily by most people for sensory input about the environment. Visual interactions can be divided into three processes: (1) de tection of visual information; (2) recognition of the "external source" of the information; and (3) interpretation of the significance of the information. These processes usually occur sequentially, although there is considerable interdependence among them. With our strong dependence on the processes of visual interactions, we might assume that they are well characterized and understood. Nothing could be further from the truth. Human vision remains an engima, in spite of specu lations by philosophers for centuries, and, more recently, of attention from physicists and cognitive and experimental psychologists. How we see, and how we know what we see, remains an unsolved mystery that challenges some of the most creative scientists and cognitive specialists.
Download or read book Biocybernetics Of Vision Integrative Mechanisms And Cognitive Processes written by Cloe Taddei-ferretti and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1998-01-15 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visual cognition is an important area of biocybernetics. It ranges from the filtering processes of early vision to the structural and functional organization of the visual centres, as well as, in higher animals, to the neuronal plasticity, the decision-making rules, the effect of noise, the role of attention, the ambiguity of patterns, and the time dimension. All these factors contribute to the cognitive interpretation of visual sensation that takes place in visual perception. A side field is machine vision, in which the signal processing known from animal vision is applied to the mobile robots responding to light stimulation.
Download or read book Visual Decision Making in the Presence of Stimulus and Measurement Correlations written by Manisha Bhardwaj and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our brains process sensory information to infer the state of the world. However, the input from our senses is noisy, which may lead to errors in perceptual judgements. A number of theoretical studies have modeled perception as a process of probabilistic inference that involves making decisions based on uncertain evidence. Bayesian optimality is a general principle of probabilistic inference that has been successfully used to build quantitative models of perception. In addition, several experimental studies show that human observers make best possible decisions, and hence exhibit close to Bayes-optimal behavior on various visual perceptual tasks such as visual search, sameness judgement, and change detection. However, the impact of structured stimuli on decision-making remains largely unexplored. Moreover, the sensory measurements can themselves be strongly correlated to produce a structured representation of the stimulus input. These measurement correlations can interact with the structure of the external input in many possible ways and should not be considered in isolation. In this work, we focus on visual search task to examine how visual perception is affected by structured input. We analyze the responses of subjects on a target detection experiment where the stimulus orientations were generated with varying strength of correlations across different experimental sessions. We fit several models to the experimental data using maximum-likelihood parameter estimation. We use rigorous model selection to find that human observers take into account stimulus correlations in detecting a target. However, they behave suboptimally in inferring the correct stimulus correlations that were used in the experiment. We find that perhaps observers treat the partial stimulus correlations identically and behave differently when the stimuli are perfectly correlated. We also describe how the relation between measurement and stimulus correlations affects the performance of an ideal Bayesian observer in a family of target detection tasks. We find that the effect of measurement correlations depends on its interaction with stimulus correlations and other statistical structure parameters. Measurement correlations always improves the performance of the ideal observer on a detection task with multiple targets; whereas in the case of single target, the impact is significant only in the presence of strong external structure.
