Visual Themes our sense of the world is “constructed” from the input processing of the world is highly dependent on our visual experience

Now show me what it all does! That’s good and all… Now show me what it all does!
Color opponency, receptor adaptation
Color opponency, receptor adaptation
The visual system adjusts itself. In time. In space. Why does it adjust? sensitivity and gain? neural fatigue? adjustment of priors? (effects in the opposite direction) Error correction?
Simultaneous [blur] contrast (adjustment in space)
Face adaptation (adjustment in time) split class in half for demo…

What does this say about our perception and memory of the world?
Get Ready… I’m going to show you a picture and I want you to remember it! (you’ll have 3 seconds)

Which One Did You See? A B C D
Which One Did You See? correct answer A B C D too close too far
Boundary Effect Background Boundary extension is the tendency to remember close up scenes as if they extend beyond the boundaries of the scene presented This is classically interpretated as a mechanism which will help integrate the visual scene over sucessive views (fixations, head turns, etc). Intraub and Richardson (1989) Intraub and Bodamer (1993) Intraub (2002) Bertamini (2005)
tenuous perception and representation of our world?
Attention
Search for the red vertical Visual Search Search for the red vertical
Search for the red vertical Pretty easy. Search for the red vertical again
Harder? Guiding attention by color… pretty easy Guiding attention by color AND orientation, more difficult one more time, find the red vertical
How do we explain this? feature maps
Multiple object tracking Spotlight metaphor of attention. Can you split it? demos
Is the minds eye different than the real eye? A little on mental imagery
Insights from the Clinical Neuropsychology Hemispatial neglect extends to mental imagery Bisiach and Luzzati (1978)
Removal of Primary Visual Cortex leads to… Reduced visual angle of mental imagery workspace (Farah 2000)
Imagery and Skill Learning Feltz and Landers, 1983 Meta-analysis of imagery studies in performance benefit Generally accepted that visualization helps performance, (but not as much as actual practice) though… Putting Imagery: (Tayler and Shaw, 2002) golfers imagine made or missed puts missed-putt imagers did worse than no imagery at all! Since then there’s been a hunt for the underlying neural mechanisms …
a little on visual substitution systems can we use our other modalities to see?
