Effects of adaptation on numerosity decoding in the human brain.

NeuroImage
Psychophysical studies have shown that numerosity is a sensory attribute susceptible to adaptation. Neuroimaging studies have reported that, at least for relatively low numbers, numerosity can be accurately discriminated in the intra-parietal sulcus....

Pattern Classification of Instantaneous Cognitive Task-load Through GMM Clustering, Laplacian Eigenmap, and Ensemble SVMs.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
The identification of the temporal variations in human operator cognitive task-load (CTL) is crucial for preventing possible accidents in human-machine collaborative systems. Recent literature has shown that the change of discrete CTL level during hu...

Atoms of recognition in human and computer vision.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Discovering the visual features and representations used by the brain to recognize objects is a central problem in the study of vision. Recently, neural network models of visual object recognition, including biological and deep network models, have s...

Weakly Supervised Human Fixations Prediction.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
Automatically predicting human eye fixations is a useful technique that can facilitate many multimedia applications, e.g., image retrieval, action recognition, and photo retargeting. Conventional approaches are frustrated by two drawbacks. First, psy...

Exploring and explaining properties of motion processing in biological brains using a neural network.

Journal of vision
Visual motion perception underpins behaviors ranging from navigation to depth perception and grasping. Our limited access to biological systems constrains our understanding of how motion is processed within the brain. Here we explore properties of mo...

Crowding and attention in a framework of neural network model.

Journal of vision
In this article, I present a framework that would accommodate the classic ideas of visual information processing together with more recent computational approaches. I used the current knowledge about visual crowding, capacity limitations, attention, ...

Neural mechanisms supporting the relationship between dispositional mindfulness and pain.

Pain
Interindividual differences in pain sensitivity vary as a function of interactions between sensory, cognitive-affective, and dispositional factors. Trait mindfulness, characterized as the innate capacity to nonreactively sustain attention to the pres...

Estimating mechanical properties of cloth from videos using dense motion trajectories: Human psychophysics and machine learning.

Journal of vision
Humans can visually estimate the mechanical properties of deformable objects (e.g., cloth stiffness). While much of the recent work on material perception has focused on static image cues (e.g., textures and shape), little is known about whether huma...

Towards Universal Haptic Library: Library-Based Haptic Texture Assignment Using Image Texture and Perceptual Space.

IEEE transactions on haptics
In this paper, we focused on building a universal haptic texture models library and automatic assignment of haptic texture models to any given surface from the library based on image features. It is shown that a relationship exists between perceived ...

Robo-Psychophysics: Extracting Behaviorally Relevant Features from the Output of Sensors on a Prosthetic Finger.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Efforts are underway to restore sensorimotor function in amputees and tetraplegic patients using anthropomorphic robotic hands. For this approach to be clinically viable, sensory signals from the hand must be relayed back to the patient. To convey ta...
