چکیده

representations of guns, knives and bombs. Further, the experiment encouraged color selectivity, but also contained a difficult shape manipulation. Thus, the reduction in selectivity may be a reflection of the objects containing features across two different dimensions, but it is difficult to disentangle the effects each dimension has on this reduction. The current study utilizes a similar paradigm but maintains tight control over the features and dimensions used. The purpose of the current investigation is to examine how multiple targets that vary across a single feature dimension are represented to guide

Using the dual-target cost to explore the nature of search target representations.

Eye movements were monitored to examine search efficiency and infer how color is mentally represented to guide search for multiple targets. Observers located a single color target very efficiently by fixating colors similar to the target. However, simultaneous search for 2 colors produced a dual-target cost. In addition, as the similarity between the 2 target colors decreased, search efficiency...

How Chromaticity Guides Visual Search in Real-World Scenes

To study visual attention during search processes, numerous studies measured the selectivity of observers’ saccadic eye movements for local display features. These experiments almost entirely relied on simple, artificial displays with discrete search items and features. Recently, a first study on saccadic selectivity in real-world scenes was conducted, demonstrating visual guidance by low-level...

Eye Movements in Visual Cognition: A Computational Study

Visual cognition depends critically on the moment-to-moment orientation of gaze. Gaze is changed by saccades, rapid eye movements that orient the fovea over targets of interest in a visual scene. Saccades are ballistic; a prespecified target location is computed prior to the movement and visual feedback is precluded. Once a target is fixated, gaze is typically held for about 300 milliseconds, a...

What do eyes reveal about the mind?

We address the question of inferring the search target from fixation behavior in visual search. Such inference is possible since during search, our attention and gaze are guided toward visual features similar to those in the search target. We strive to answer two fundamental questions: what are the most powerful algorithmic principles for this task, and how does their performance depend on the ...

Application of eye tracking technology for screening and rehabilitation of children with special needs.

Eye tracking is a technology for measuring eye movements when looking at a point. The length of time to look at a particular situation, the sequence of observations, as well as points of attention are processed in the process of eye tracking and eye movements are identified by topics such as fixation, saccade, etc. Information about how the eyes move at a special moment has many potential appli...
