In several search tasks, the amount of practice on particular combinations of targets and distractors was equated in varied-mapping (VM) and consistent-mapping (CM) conditions. The results indicate the importance of distinguishing between memory and visual search tasks, and implicate a number of factors that play important roles in visual search and its learning. Visual search was studied in Ex...

Multimodal signals (acoustic+visual) are known to be used by many anuran amphibians during courtship displays. The relative degree to which each signal component influences female mate choice, however, remains poorly understood. In this study we used a robotic frog with an inflating vocal sac and acoustic playbacks to document responses of female túngara frogs to unimodal signal components (aco...

Geo-tagged photo-based tourist attraction recommendation can discover users’ travel preferences from their taken photos, so as to recommend suitable attractions them. However, existing visual content-based methods cannot fully exploit the user and information of photos extract features, do not differentiate significance different photos. In this article, we propose multi-level similarity-based ...

Introduction: In this study, we investigated the distraction power of the unusual and usual images on the attention of 20 healthy primary school children. Methods: Our study was different from previous ones in that the participants were asked to fix the initial position of their attention on a pre-defined location after being presented with unusual images as distractors. The goals were prese...

All moving animals, including flies, sharks, and humans, experience a dynamic sensory landscape that is a function of both their trajectory through space and the distribution of stimuli in the environment. This is particularly apparent for mosquitoes, which use a combination of olfactory, visual, and thermal cues to locate hosts. Mosquitoes are thought to detect suitable hosts by the presence o...

The Basic Design course can help students understand design principles and visual art elements It is a compulsory basic for the department of in many universities. In recent years, Augmented Reality (AR) technology has found its way into field education become popular textbook tool teaching courses. There are not pieces research on application AR Therefore, this study attempts to explore factor...

BACKGROUND Predator attraction to prey social signals can force prey to trade-off the social imperatives to communicate against the profound effect of predation on their future fitness. These tradeoffs underlie theories on the design and evolution of conspecific signalling systems and have received much attention in visual and acoustic signalling modes. Yet while most territorial mammals commun...
