Fast ensemble representations for abstract visual impressions
Much of the richness of perception is conveyed by implicit, rather than image or feature-level, information. The perception of animacy or lifelikeness of objects, for example, cannot be predicted from image level properties alone. Instead, perceiving lifelikeness seems to be an inferential process and one might expect it to be cognitively demanding and serial rather than fast and automatic. If ...
متن کاملThe tipping point of animacy. How, when, and where we perceive life in a face.
Faces capture humans' attention; yet, beyond aesthetic appreciation, it is presumably not the face itself that interests people but the mind behind it. Minds think, feel, and act in ways that have direct consequences for well-being, but despite their importance, how minds are perceived in faces is not well understood. We investigated this mechanism by presenting participants with morphed images...
متن کاملHumans perceive flicker artifacts at 500 Hz
Humans perceive a stable average intensity image without flicker artifacts when a television or monitor updates at a sufficiently fast rate. This rate, known as the critical flicker fusion rate, has been studied for both spatially uniform lights, and spatio-temporal displays. These studies have included both stabilized and unstablized retinal images, and report the maximum observable rate as 50...
متن کاملPerception of animacy from the motion of a single object.
We demonstrate that a single moving object can create the subjective impression that it is alive, based solely on its pattern of movement. Our displays differ from conventional biological motion displays (which normally involve multiple moving points, usually integrated to suggest a human form) in that they contain only a single rigid object moving across a uniform field. We focus on motion pat...
متن کاملWe perceive music before we understand speech.
In his article ”Musical emotions: Functions, origins, evolution”[1], Perlovsky explains ”concept-models” with the analogy of the projection of memories and representations onto the visual cortex. He postulates the principle of ”knowledge instinct” that aims at matching concept-models to the surroundings. According to Perlovsky, this instinct causes emotions, satisfaction or dissatisfaction, dep...
