Previous studies on visual perception and landscape element preference have mainly focused urban green spaces such as parks forests; the attraction potential of historical gardens has been less explored. Based analysis framework experience, this study employed normalized eye-tracking data questionnaires to compare difference in typical walking scenes between parks. The results showed that terms...

Social commerce (SC) has become a new business mode for e-commerce along with the increased popularity of social networking sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. Although SC has enormous business potential for practitioners and broadens research areas for scholars, existing studies on SC were limited. Little is known about the underlying processes and factors of consumers’ social sha...

Spatial ventriloquism refers to the phenomenon that a visual stimulus such as a flash can attract the perceived location of a spatially discordant but temporally synchronous sound. An analogous example of mutual attraction between audition and vision has been found in the temporal domain, where temporal aspects of a visual event, such as its onset, frequency, or duration, can be biased by a sli...

The bottom-up contribution to the allocation of exogenous attention is a saliency map, whose neural substrate is hard to identify because of possible contamination by top-down signals. We obviated this possibility using stimuli that observers could not perceive, but that nevertheless, through orientation contrast between foreground and background regions, attracted attention to improve a locali...

Houseflies (Musca domestica L.) are a major pest species of livestock units and landfill sites. Insecticide resistance has resulted in an increased emphasis on lure-and-kill control methods, but the success of this approach relies on the effective attraction of houseflies with olfactory or visual stimuli. This study examined the efficacy of olfactory (cuticular hydrocarbons) or visual (colours ...
