People perform better in visual search when the target feature repeats across trials (intertrial feature priming [IFP]). Here, we investigated whether repetition of a feature singleton's color modulates stimulus-driven shifts of spatial attention by presenting a probe stimulus immediately after each singleton display. The task alternated every two trials between a probe discrimination task and ...

In this work, we present an algorithm to perform automatic segmentation, feature extraction and dosage classification of images derived from a novel organotypic angiogenesis assay developed to assess the effects of ionising radiation in the mouse heart. The images presented very different conditions of illumination and conditions of density and shapes of cells. The algorithm consists of a pipel...

Nowadays, Spatial and social inequalities are universal and expanding phenomenon. Identification and spatial analysis of social, economic and ecological inequalities in metropolises is one of the essential and basic proceeding for planning and achieving urban sustainable development. The present research method is descriptive-analytical and using 13 sub criteria based on three main criteria of ...

This paper presents an approach of modeling variability of automotive system architectures using function nets, views and feature diagrams. A function net models an architecture hierarchically and views are used to omit parts of such a model to focus on certain functionalities. In combination with feature diagrams that describe valid variants, the concepts of feature and variant views are intro...

We present a system for querying for images by the spatial and feature attributes of regions . The system enables the user to nd the images that contain an arrangement of regions similar to that diagrammed in a query image. We propose a general framework which allows for di erent types of features (e.g., color, texture, shape, motion) to be integrated with spatial information in the query proce...

Attention can facilitate visual processing, emphasizing specific locations and highlighting stimuli containing specific features. To dissociate the mechanisms of spatial and feature-based attention, we compared the time course of visually evoked responses under different attention conditions. We recorded from single neurons in area V4 during a delayed match-to-sample task that controlled both s...
