Repetition blindness (RB) is the inability to detect or recall a repeated word in rapid serial visual presentation. The role of visual versus phonological (name) similarity in RB was examined. RB was found for single letters, whether printed in the same or different cases, and for single digits, whether represented verbally (nine), as arabic numerals (9), or in a mixture of the 2 formats. Hence...

The pretectal visual motion processing area in the hummingbird brain is unlike that in other birds: instead of emphasizing detection of horizontal movements, it codes for motion in all directions through 360°, possibly offering precise visual stability control during hovering.

The necessity of taking refuge in literary productions has been intensified due to the societies’ severe involvement in the features of the modern world. Loss of identity and failure to maintain an integrated self are the repercussions of distancing from humanistic roots. Some attempts in modern art/literature appear to focus more on visual styles to represent the catastrophes of the modern uni...

Visual codes, such as QR codes, offer a low-cost alternative to RF technology when digital data needs to be embedded in objects in the physical world. However, in order to support receivers with a poor visual channel, e.g. low-resolution cameras, most visual codes are designed for low data capacity and short reading distances. We present our work-in-progress on Focus, a visual code that avoids ...

A fundamental question in sensorimotor control concerns the transformation of spatial signals from the retina into eye and head motor commands required for accurate gaze shifts. Here, we investigated these transformations by identifying the spatial codes embedded in visually evoked and movement-related responses in the frontal eye fields (FEFs) during head-unrestrained gaze shifts. Monkeys made...

for a finite field $mathbb{f}_q$, the bivariate skew polynomial ring $mathbb{f}_q[x,y;rho,theta]$ has been used to study codes cite{xh}. in this paper, we give some characterizations of the ring $r[x,y;rho,theta]$, where $r$ is a commutative ring. we investigate 2-d skew $(lambda_1,lambda_2)$-constacyclic codes in the ring $r[x,y;rho,theta]/langle x^l-lambda_1,y^s-lambda_2rangle_{mathit{l}}.$ a...

Sensory adaptation and visual aftereffects have long given insight into the neural codes underlying basic dimensions of visual perception. Recently discovered perceptual adaptation effects for complex shapes like faces can offer similar insight into high-level visual representations. In the experiments reported here, we demonstrated first that face adaptation transfers across a substantial chan...

nowadays “design” is considered as an independent discipline which is neither a science, nor an art, but an interdiscipline with strong relations with both art and science. therefore, this new understanding demands reidentifying all design sub-disciplines. “space” as one of this sub-disciplines, has a pivotal role in shaping form in both design and architecture. while concrete understanding of ...

In this paper we propose an e-voting authentication scheme combined with QR-codes and visual cryptography. We focus on the usability, in order to supply voters with less technical experience with a usable scheme. The only requirement is that the user needs to handle a device containing a QR-code reader, most probably a smartphone. This approach is based on visual cryptography as the work horse:...

How many departments in your organization have requirements for visual inspections? How many of the codes, regulations, and legislative mandates demand that visual inspections be performed on a regular, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annual basis? Think of the requirements for slings and wire ropes, aircraft parts, hazardous waste containers, and every commercial vehicle and load—the list goes ...
