TempSAL - Uncovering Temporal Information for Deep Saliency Prediction

Sabine Süsstrunk, Mathieu Salzmann, Tong Zhang, Bahar Aydemir, Ludo Hoffstetter

Deep saliency prediction algorithms complement the object recognition features, they typically rely on additional information, such as scene context, semantic relationships, gaze direction, and object dissimilarity. However, none of these models consider t ...

Differential effects of vestibular processing on orienting exogenous and endogenous covert visual attention

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Mariia Kaliuzhna, Steve Michel Berger

Recent research highlights the overwhelming role of vestibular information for higher order cognition. Central to body perception, vestibular cues provide information about self-location in space, self-motion versus object motion, and modulate the percepti ...

Role of Gaze Cues in Interpersonal Motor Coordination: Towards Higher Affiliation in Human-Robot Interaction

Aude Billard, Mahdi Khoramshahi, Ashwini Shukla

Background The ability to follow one another's gaze plays an important role in our social cognition; especially when we synchronously perform tasks together. We investigate how gaze cues can improve performance in a simple coordination task (i.e., the mirr ...

Social orienting of children with autism to facial expressions and speech: a study with a wearable eye-tracker in naturalistic settings

Aude Billard, Patrick Jermann, Basilio Noris, Silvia Magrelli

This study investigates attention orienting to social stimuli in children with Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) during dyadic social interactions taking place in real-life settings. We study the effect of social cues that differ in complexity and distingui ...

It's All in the Eyes: Subcortical and Cortical Activation during Grotesqueness Perception in Autism

Nouchine Hadjikhani, Loyse Hippolyte, Ophélie Rogier, Britt Russo

Atypical face processing plays a key role in social interaction difficulties encountered by individuals with autism. In the current fMRI study, the Thatcher illusion was used to investigate several aspects of face processing in 20 young adults with high-fu ...

Perception of Social Cues of Danger in Autism Spectrum Disorders

Nouchine Hadjikhani, Loyse Hippolyte, Ophélie Rogier, Torsten Ruest, Britt Russo

Intuitive grasping of the meaning of subtle social cues is particularly affected in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Despite their relevance in social communication, the effect of averted gaze in fearful faces in conveying a signal of environmental threat ...

Investigating Gaze of Children with ASD in Naturalistic Settings

Aude Billard, Nouchine Hadjikhani, Basilio Noris

Background: Visual behavior is known to be atypical in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Monitor-based eye-tracking studies have measured several of these atypicalities in individuals with Autism. While atypical behaviors are known to be accentuated during ...
