Rapid natural scene categorization in the near absence of attention.
What can we see when we do not pay attention? It is well known that we can be "blind" even to major aspects of natural scenes when we attend elsewhere. The only tasks that do not need attention appear to be carried out in the early stages of the visual system. Contrary to this common belief, we report that subjects can rapidly detect animals or vehicles in briefly presented novel natural scenes...
متن کاملWhy Does Natural Scene Categorization Require Little Attention? Exploring Attentional Requirements for Natural and Synthetic Stimuli
It was recently demonstrated that detecting target objects (e.g., animals) in natural scenes can be done in a dual-task paradigm, in the near absence of spatial attention. Under the same conditions, subjects were unable to perform apparently simpler tasks involving synthetic stimuli (e.g., discriminating randomly rotated Ts and Ls, or a bisected colour disc and its mirror image). Classical theo...
متن کاملConditional Random Field for Natural Scene Categorization
Conditional random field (CRF) has been widely used for sequence labeling and segmentation. However, CRF does not offer a straightforward approach to classify whole sequences. On the other hand, hidden conditional random field (HCRF) has been proposed for whole sequences classification by viewing the segment labels as hidden variables. But the objective function of HCRF is non-convex because of...
متن کاملNatural-scene perception requires attention.
Is visual attention required for visual consciousness? In the past decade, many researchers have claimed that awareness can arise in the absence of attention. This claim is largely based on the notion that natural scene (or "gist") perception occurs without attention. This article presents evidence against this idea. We show that when observers perform a variety of demanding, sustained-attentio...
متن کاملAttention to local and global levels of hierarchical Navon figures affects rapid scene categorization
In four experiments, we investigated how attention to local and global levels of hierarchical Navon figures affected the selection of diagnostic spatial scale information used in scene categorization. We explored this issue by asking observers to classify hybrid images (i.e., images that contain low spatial frequency (LSF) content of one image, and high spatial frequency (HSF) content from a se...
