In this paper we sum up our works on multiscale programs, mainly simulations. We first start with describing what multiscaling is about, how it helps perceiving signal from a background noise in a flow of data for example, for a direct perception by a user or for a further use by another program. We then give three examples of multiscale techniques we used in the past, maintaining a summary, us...

The interaction between perception and action represents one of the pillars of human evolutionary success. Our interactions with the surrounding world involve a variety of behaviors, almost always including movements of the eyes and hands. Such actions rely on neural mechanisms that must process an enormous amount of information in order to generate appropriate motor commands. Yet, compared to ...

Millar has written a valuable monograph on perceptual knowledge. Knowing By Perceiving is careful and detailed, at times laborious, delivering many insights. Occasionally S sees an F, there’s bit of Ψing Φing, but the examples have pleasantly bucolic feel: wheelbarrows full soil, evening sunlight hillside, mushrooms rotting logs, frost grass, ‘an island where there are sheep that make distincti...

First, we argue for the metaphysical claim that emotions are individuated as patterns of characteristic features. Our second claim concerns the epistemology of emotion recognition: We demonstrate that emotion recognition is a process pattern recognition that relies on the same type of pattern recognition typical for object recognition. The analogy allows us to defend a variant of a direct perce...

ABSTRACT: Fracture tests on two high-performance concrete for pavements were performed using the wedge-split test. The results allowed perceiving same specific fracture energy both concrete. However, crack opening during as well characteristic length of materials resulted in roundly distinct behaviors terms brittleness. Previous fatigue studies concretes are then fairly readdressed pointing out...

The human visual system (HVS) has a limited sensitivity in perceiving visual information such that visual masking estimation is helpful to improve the performance of image processing techniques. Most existing research efforts only focus on the methods of assessing the visual masking for gray images. In this paper, a spatial masking estimation utilizing the free-energy principle to measure just ...
