Dichoptic Viewing and Temporal Discrimination: An Attempted Replication

Dichoptic viewing and temporal discrimination: an attempted replication.

Direction discrimination thresholds in binocular, monocular, and dichoptic viewing: Motion opponency and contrast gain control.

We studied the binocular organization of motion opponency and its relationship to contrast gain control. Luminance contrast thresholds for discriminating direction of motion were measured for drifting Gabor patterns (target) presented on counterphase flickering Gabor patterns (pedestal). There were four presentation conditions: binocular, monocular, dichoptic, and half-binocular. For the half-b...

Detecting changes of spatial cone-excitation ratios in dichoptic viewing

Spatial ratios of cone excitations produced by light reflected by different surfaces in a scene may provide the cue for discriminating changes in illuminant from changes in surface reflectances. To test whether these ratios can be computed across the two eyes, observers were presented with simulations on a computer-controlled monitor of pairs of juxtaposed or separated Munsell surfaces undergoi...

An attempted replication of Hackl, Koster-Hale, Varvoutis (2012)

Hackl, Koster-Hale & Varvoutis (2012; Journal of Semantics, 29, 145–206; HKV) provide data that suggested that in a null context, antecedent-contained-deletion (ACD) relative clause structures modifying a quantified object noun phrase are easier to process than those modifying a definite object NP. HKV argue that this pattern of results supports a quantifier-raising (QR) analysis of both ACD st...

vIewIng temporal vIDeo annotatIons

Video is a complex information space that requires advanced navigational aids for effective browsing. The increasing number of temporal video annotations offers new opportunities to provide video navigation according to a user's needs. We present a novel video browsing interface called TAV (Temporal Annotation Viewing) that provides the user with a visual overview of temporal video annotations....
