Learning stereo reconstruction with deep neural networks

Stepan Tulyakov

Stereo reconstruction is a problem of recovering a 3d structure of a scene from a pair of images of the scene, acquired from different viewpoints. It has been investigated for decades and many successful methods were developed. The main drawback of these ...

Context effects on probability estimation

Wei-Hsiang Lin

Many decisions rely on how we evaluate potential outcomes and estimate their corresponding probabilities of occurrence. Outcome evaluation is subjective because it requires consulting internal preferences and is sensitive to context. In contrast, probabili ...

Somatosensory-visual effects in visual biological motion perception

Olaf Blanke, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Wenwen Chang

Social cognition is dependent on the ability to extract information from human stimuli. Of those, patterns of biological motion (BM) and in particular walking patterns of other humans, are prime examples. Although most often tested in isolation, BM outside ...

Shedding light on excessive crying in babies

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, François Lazeyras, Lorena Gonçalves de Alcântara e Freitas Krikler

Background Excessive and inconsolable crying behavior in otherwise healthy infants (a condition called infant colic (IC)) is very distressing to parents, may lead to maternal depression, and in extreme cases, may result in shaken baby syndrome. Despite the ...

Enhancing functional abilities and cognitive integration of the lower limb prosthesis

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Giacomo Valle, Francesco Maria Petrini

Lower limb amputation (LLA) destroys the sensory communication between the brain and the external world during standing and walking. Current prostheses do not restore sensory feedback to amputees, who, relying on very limited haptic information from the st ...

Perception of Auditory Distance in Normal-Hearing and Moderate-to-Profound Hearing-Impaired Listeners

Hervé Lissek, Gilles André Courtois, Vincent Pierre Olivier Grimaldi

The auditory system allows the estimation of the distance to sound-emitting objects using multiple spatial cues. In virtual acoustics over headphones, a prerequisite to render auditory distance impression is sound externalization, which denotes the percept ...

Ambiance in Social Media Venues: Visual Cue Interpretation by Machines and Crowds

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Gülcan Can

We study the perception of ambiance of places captured in social media images by both machines and crowdworkers. This task is challenging due to the subjective nature of the ambiance construct as well as the large variety in layout, style, and visual chara ...

Indoor environment as a multi-sensory experience: visual and thermal factor interactions

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Giorgia Chinazzo

In our daily lives we are exposed simultaneously to multiple sensory stimuli, such as visual, thermal, acoustic and olfactory. Experienced together, they shape our perception of the environment and determine our comfort. In indoor environments, stimuli are ...

Audio-visual sensory deprivation degrades visuo-tactile peri-personal space

Olaf Blanke, Hervé Lissek, Andrea Serino, Hyeongdong Park, Isabella Maria Pasqualini

Self-perception is scaffolded upon the integration of multisensory cues on the body, the space surrounding the body (i.e., the peri-personal space; PPS), and from within the body. We asked whether reducing information available from external space would ch ...

Perceived and yet not seen: non-visual effects in daylit spaces

Marilyne Andersen, Forrest Simon Webler, Victoria Eugenia Soto Magán

Findings from neuroscience are increasingly interwoven with architectural research (1,2). Understanding physiological responses to environmental stimuli in the built environment is critical when evaluating occupant health and wellbeing. Research in the fie ...

Neural adaptation accounts for the dynamic resizing of peripersonal space: evidence from a psychophysical-computational approach

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino

Interactions between the body and the environment occur within the peripersonal space (PPS), the space immediately surrounding the body. The PPS is encoded by multisensory (audio-tactile, visual-tactile) neurons that possess receptive fields (RFs) anchored ...
