This article presents a derivation of a new relative fractal dimension spectrum, DRq, to measure the dis-similarity between two finite probability distributions originating from various signals. This measure is an extension of the Kullback-Leibler (KL) distance and the Rényi fractal dimension spectrum, Dq. Like the KL distance, DRq determines the dissimilarity between two probability distibutio...

The present paper reviews recent research on perceptual latency priming (PLP). PLP is the relative latency advantage-earlier perception-of a visual stimulus that is preceded by another, masked stimulus at its location. The first stimulus attracts attention which accelerates perception of the second stimulus. This facilitation arises even if the first stimulus is visually backward-masked by the ...

Test result under the setup of [4] We first compare the Spearman correlation of our work under the specific training/test split of [4], exposed in [3]. We revised the source code of BIQI[1] to allow training on BLIINDS’s specific setup, and also tested our LBIQ method on this setup. As shown in Fig., this specific configuration used is favourable to both our LBIQ method and the BIQI method[2], ...

Based on the premise that psi information is initially processed at an unconscious level, parapsychologists have repeatedly drawn parallels between subliminal perception and extrasensory perception. For instance, defensiveness resistance to, or distortion of, unpleasant or threatening information has been considered to affect both subliminal and extrasensory perception. This thesis reviews stud...

In this paper we present a perceptual distortion mea sure that predicts image integrity far better than mean squared error This perceptual distortion measure is based on a model of human visual processing that ts empirical measurements of the psychophysics of spatial pattern de tection The model of human visual processing proposed involves two major components a steerable pyramid trans form and...

An attempt was made to investigate the problem of how boundary differentiation affects perceptual intensity. It was hypothesized that the more definite an individual's boundaries the more intense would be his perceptual experiences. The Barrier score was used to measure boundary definiteness, and the Ames Thereness-Thatness apparatus was employed to evaluate perceptual intensity. In 2 separate ...

BACKGROUND The Embedded Figures Test (EFT, developed by Witkin and colleagues (1971)) has been used extensively in research on individual differences, particularly in the study of autism spectrum disorder. The EFT was originally conceptualized as a measure of field (in)dependence, but in recent years performance on the EFT has been interpreted as a measure of local versus global perceptual styl...

This study was an attempt to shed light on the relationship between perceptual learning styles and perceptual teaching styles of Iranian EFL learners and teachers. It further investigated the relationship between perceptual learning style and the age, gender, and proficiency of Iranian EFL learners. A total of 112 students and 23 teachers participated in this study. The data was collected using...

The study investigated the effects of perceptual load on the bias to report seeing non-existing events—a bias associated with positive symptoms of schizophrenia and positive schizotypal symptoms. Undergraduate students completed psychometric measures of schizotypy and were asked to detect fast moving words among non-words under different levels of perceptual load. Perceptual load was manipulate...
