The discovery that the prehension component of an open-loop, two-fingered reach is largely immune to certain salient pictorial illusions has been used to suggest that humans possess 2 distinct visual systems, 1 that subserves perceptual judgment and 1 that mediates visually controlled action. In this article, the authors present evidence that suggests that the critical distinction is not that o...

Recent research has demonstrated that judgments of Chief Executive Officers' (CEOs') faces predict their firms' financial performance, finding that characteristics associated with higher power (e.g., dominance) predict greater profits. Most of these studies have focused on CEOs of profit-based businesses, where the main criterion for success is financial gain. Here, we examined whether facial a...

In many situations, such as pedestrians crossing a busy street or prey evading predators, rapid decisions based on limited perceptual information are critical for survival. The brevity of these perceptual judgments constrains how neuronal signals are integrated or pooled over time because the underlying sequence of processes, from sensation to perceptual evaluation to motor planning and executi...

Most decision making methods used to evaluate a system or demonstrate the weak and strength points are based on fuzzy sets and evaluate the criteria with words that are modeled with fuzzy sets. The ambiguity and vagueness of the words and different perceptions of a word are not considered in these methods. For this reason, the decision making methods that consider the perceptions of decision...

feature extraction is a main step in all perceptual image hashing schemes in which robust features will led to better results in perceptual robustness. simplicity, discriminative power, computational efficiency and robustness to illumination changes are counted as distinguished properties of local binary pattern features. in this paper, we investigate the use of local binary patterns for percep...

Evaluative theories of emotions purport to shed light on the nature by appealing values. Three kinds evaluative dominate recent literature: judgment theory equates with value judgments; perceptual perceptions values, and attitudinal attitudes. This paper defends a fourth kind emotions, mostly neglected so far: reactive theory. Reactive claim that are attitudes which arise in reaction value.
