Control With an Eye for Perception: Precursors to an Active Psychophysics
نویسنده
چکیده
The perception-action cycle is viewed within the context of research in manual control. A portrait of a perception-action system is derived from the primitives of control theory in order to evaluate the promise of this perspective for what Warren and McMfllan (1984) have termed "Active Psychophysics." That is, a study of human performance that does justice to the intimate coupling between perception and action.

Evaluation of Attention Bias in Morphine and Methamphetamine Abusers towards Emotional Scenes during Early Abstinence: An Eye-Tracking Study
Introduction: We hypothesized that inappropriate attention during the period of abstinence in individuals with substance use disorder can result in an inadequate perception of emotion and unsuitable reaction to emotional scenes. The main aim of this research was to evaluate the attentional bias towards emotional images in former substance abusers and compare it to healthy adults. Methods:...
متن کاملPerson perception informs understanding of cognition during visual search.
Does person perception--the impressions we form from watching others--hold clues to the mental states of people engaged in cognitive tasks? We investigated this with a two-phase method: In Phase 1, participants searched on a computer screen (Experiment 1) or in an office (Experiment 2); in Phase 2, other participants rated the searchers' video-recorded behavior. The results showed that blind ra...
متن کاملObject-scene inconsistencies do not capture gaze: evidence from the flash-preview moving-window paradigm.
In the present study, we investigated the influence of object-scene relationships on eye movement control during scene viewing. We specifically tested whether an object that is inconsistent with its scene context is able to capture gaze from the visual periphery. In four experiments, we presented rendered images of naturalistic scenes and compared baseline consistent objects with semantically, ...
متن کاملA method of controlling stimulation for the study of space perception: the optical tunnel.
The apparatus to be described is designed for the study of the stimulus conditions which yield tridimensional visual perceptions. The methods of psychophysics can probably be extended to the investigation of space as well as color if devices can be built for the control and systematic variation of these stimulus conditions. Devices have been constructed in the past for the control and systemati...
متن کاملCovert shifts of attention precede involuntary eye movements.
There is considerable evidence that covert visual attention precedes voluntary eye movements to an intended location. What happens to covert attention when an involuntary saccadic eye movement is made? In agreement with other researchers, we found that attention and voluntary eye movements are tightly coupled in such a way that attention always shifts to the intended location before the eyes be...
