BACKGROUND Emotional Stroop tasks have shown attention biases of clinical populations towards stimuli related to their condition. Asperger Syndrome (AS) is a neuropsychiatric condition with social and communication deficits, repetitive behaviours and narrow interests. Social deficits are particularly striking, including difficulties in understanding others. METHOD We investigated colour-namin...

A formal picture description scheme to be used as the basis for picture processing systems is presented, The scheme is applicable to a large class of pictures including, but not restricted to, those containing line -like elements. The paper first presents a general linguistic model for picture processing in which the analysis and generation of pictures are defined as the derivation and executio...

We present in this paper a simple, device-independent model for describing two-dimensional graphics using a functional language. Graphical scenes, or pictures, are represented as values that functions can manipulate and inspect to create new values. Complete pictures are constructed by repeatedly composing such picture values together using picture com-binators. A novel aspect of the model pres...

A picture of a nude isolated in a series of pictures of clothed models was quite memorable, but when compared with a clothed picture, the nude impaired memory for background picture derails as well as pictures immediately following the nude (anterograde amnesia). Recall of details given picture-gist recall, as well as recognition of person details, were equivalent in the clothed and nude condit...

Having rejected the picture theory of natural perception we can make a start on picture perception. To see the environment is to extract information from the ambient array of light. What is it, then, to see a picture of something? The information in ambient light does not consist of forms and colors but of invariants. Is it implied that the information in a picture does not consist of forms and...

The theory of two-dimensional languages, generalizing formal string languages, was motivated by problems arising from image processing and models of parallel computing. Weighted automata and series over pictures map pictures to some semiring and provide an extension to a quantitative setting. We establish a notion of a weighted MSO logics over pictures. The semantics of a weighted formula will ...

We propose a method for computing the cohomology ring of three–dimensional (3D) digital binary–valued pictures. We obtain the cohomology ring of a 3D digital binary–valued picture I, via a simplicial complex K(I) topologically representing (up to isomorphisms of pictures) the picture I. The usefulness of a simplicial description of the “digital” cohomology ring of 3D digital binary– valued pict...

Motion video data consists essentially of a time-ordered sequence of pictures, and cameras typically generate approximately 24, 25, or 30 pictures (or frames) per second. This results in a large amount of data, and therefore demands the use of compression. For example assume that each picture has a relatively low \QCIF" resolution, i.e., 176 144 samples, that each sample is digitally represente...
