Perceptual salience of self-relevant information in shared environments

Providing Relevant Background Information in Smart Environments

In this paper we describe a system, called GAIN (Group Adapted Interaction for News), which selects background information to be displayed in public shared environments according to preferences of the group of people present in there. In ambient intelligence contexts, we cannot assume that the system will be able to know every users physically present in the environment and therefore to access ...

Cortical Synchronization and Perceptual Salience

We present a striate-cortical model which proposes a direct relationship between cellular synchronization and perceptual salience. The model focuses on the role of the longrange horizontal connections between oriented simple cells in striate cortex and is able to account for current physiological and psychophysical results on contour salience. We demonstrate that horizontal connections between ...

Salience Network Activity in Perceptual Decisions

The dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) and the anterior insulae (AIs) are coactivated in various perceptual decision-making (PDM) tasks and form the salience network (SN): a key network in sensory perception and the coordination of behavioral responses. However, what the functional role of SN is, how these key SN nodes interact with each other to form a network in a perceptual decision, an...

Social and perceptual salience Understanding the Social and Perceptual Salience Ghazala Tallat Supervisor

The distinctive feature of stimuli related to self, as compared to the familiar or unfamiliar others, is supposed to be largely dependent on the social salience of the stimuli. 17 participants participated for the part of behavioural task only of experiment. To test the role of social salience by using novel arbitrary shapes, we found a rapid learning of self related visual associations relativ...
