Color and Visual Factors in ATC Displays

Computer displays are one of the major sources of information for air traffic controllers to control traffic. Because the existing display technologies make it so easy to render color on computer monitors, color is being extensively used in air traffic control (ATC) displays. At present, the Federal Aviation Administration has no requirement for how color should be used in ATC displays. While t...

Visual control of an action discrimination in pigeons.

Recognizing and categorizing behavior is essential for all animals. The visual and cognitive mechanisms underlying such action discriminations are not well understood, especially in nonhuman animals. To identify the visual bases of action discriminations, four pigeons were tested in a go/no-go procedure to examine the contribution of different visual features in a discrimination of walking and ...

Asymmetry pays: visual lateralization improves discrimination success in pigeons

Functional cerebral asymmetries, once thought to be exclusively human, are now accepted to be a widespread principle of brain organization in vertebrates [1]. The prevalence of lateralization makes it likely that it has some major advantage. Until now, however, conclusive evidence has been lacking. To analyze the relation between the extent of cerebral asymmetry and the degree of performance in...

An Overview of the Use of Computer-generated Displays

Articles previously dealing with this subject have concentrated upon admissibility or the advantages and/or disadvantages of using computer-generated displays in court. This article is intended for the practitioner and academic alike and deals with the current use of the technology in the courtroom. A synopsis of how a typical animation is produced is included to give the reader an insight into...
