Centripetal versus centrifugal bias in visual line bisection: focusing attention on two hypotheses.
A variety of stimulus factors have been shown to influence the degree of leftward displacement of perceived line midpoint (i.e., pseudoneglect), which typifies the performance of normal subjects in line bisection tasks [M.E. McCourt & G. Jewell: Neuropsychologia 37, 843-855 (1999); G. Jewell & M.E. McCourt: Neuropsychologia 38, 93-110 (2000)]. One such factor is the position of lines within the...
متن کاملDistributing versus focusing attention in visual short-term memory.
Visual short-term memory (VSTM) is traditionally considered a robust form of visual memory resistant to interference from subsequent visual input. This study shows that the robustness of VSTM depends on the way attention is allocated in VSTM. When attention is distributed across multiple memory items, VSTM for these items is vulnerable to interference from subsequent input, including passively ...
متن کاملStrabismic amblyopes show a bilateral rightward bias in a line bisection task: Evidence for a visual attention deficit
Neurologically normal observers show a consistent leftward bias when asked to bisect a horizontal line ("pseudoneglect"). In this study, we found that subjects with strabismic and strabismic-anisometropic amblyopia show a consistent rightward bias ("minineglect") in a line bisection task. The bias was seen in both eyes, but affected more strongly the amblyopic eye. Purely anisometropic amblyope...
متن کاملFocusing Attention on Visual Features that Matter
An indoor navigating agent needs to efficiently understand the geometric structure of its local environment in order to act. A common scene understanding approach is to generate a set of hypotheses about the geometric structure of the indoor environment and then test the hypotheses to select the one with the highest rank, from a single image [1, 4, 5, 6] or from a continuous stream of images (e...
متن کاملCentripetal focusing of gyrotactic phytoplankton.
A suspension of gyrotactic microalgae Chlamydomonas augustae swimming in a cylindrical water vessel in solid-body rotation is studied. Our experiments show that swimming algae form an aggregate around the axis of rotation, whose intensity increases with the rotation speed. We explain this phenomenon by the centripetal orientation of the swimming direction towards the axis of rotation. This cent...
