Humans largely guide their behavior by their visual representation of the world. Recent studies have shown that visual information can trigger behavior within 150 msec, suggesting that visually guided responses to external events, in fact, precede consciou ...
The present paper tried to provide a review of the different works investigating the attentional cost of postural control. Within the context of a dual-task, the attentional demand associated with postural control depends on various factors such as (1) the ...
In this article, the authors propose a new political economy of climate change and development in which explicit attention is given to the way that ideas, power and resources are conceptualised, negotiated and implemented by different groups at different s ...
Abstract Despite the fact that premonitory urges precede most tics in patients with Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS), the voluntariness of tic elicitation and its suppressibility as a response to these urges still remains unclear. Moreover, there are n ...
We describe a model to calculate saliency of objects due to their motions. In a decision-theoretic fashion, perceptually significant objects inside a scene are detected. The work is based on psychological studies and findings on motion perception. By consi ...
We present a fast method to detect humans from stationary surveillance videos. It is based on a cascade of LogitBoost classifiers which use covariance matrices as object descriptors. We have made several contributions. First, our method learns the correlat ...
Interactive tabletops are gaining increased attention from CSCL researchers. This paper analyses the relation between this technology and teaching and learning processes. At a global level, one could argue that tabletops convey a socio-constructivist flavo ...
An increasing interest in understanding human perception in social media has led to the study of the processes of personality self-presentation and impression formation based on user profiles and text blogs. However, despite the popularity of online video, ...
The printed textbook remains the primary medium for studying in educational systems. Learners use personal annotation strategies while reading. These practices play an important role in supporting working memory, enhancing recall and influencing attentiona ...
Performance on a target can be strongly modified by context. For example, vernier offset discrimination is strongly deteriorated by neighboring flankers. Performance is worst when the flankers have the same length as the vernier. Surprisingly, performance ...
