The effects of visual distractors on serial dependence

Attractive serial dependence occurs when perceptual decisions are attracted toward previous stimuli. This effect is mediated by spatial attention and is most likely to occur when similar stimuli are attended at nearby locations. Attention, however, also in ...

Saliency prediction in 360° architectural scenes: Performance and impact of daylight variations

Marilyne Andersen, Sabine Süsstrunk, Kynthia Chamilothori, Bahar Aydemir, Caroline Karmann, Seungryong Kim

Saliency models are image-based prediction models that estimate human visual attention. Such models, when applied to architectural spaces, could pave the way for design decisions where visual attention is taken into account. In this study, we tested the pe ...

Modeling Structured Data in Attention-based Models

Alireza Mohammadshahi

Natural language processing has experienced significant improvements with the development of Transformer-based models, which employ self-attention mechanism and pre-training strategies. However, these models still present several obstacles. A notable issue ...

Interpretable temporal-spatial graph attention network for multi-site PV power forecasting

Pascal Frossard, Baptiste Schubnel, Rafael Eduardo Carrillo Rangel, Pierre-Jean Alet, Jelena Simeunovic

Accurate forecasting of photovoltaic (PV) and wind production is crucial for the integration of more renewable energy sources into the power grid. To address the limited resolution and costs of methods based on numerical weather predictions (NWP), we take ...

Real-time EEG Feedback on Alpha Power Lateralization Leads to Behavioral Improvements in a Covert Attention Task

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Michael Eric Anthony Pereira, Luca Tonin, Christoph Schneider

Visual attention can be spatially oriented, even in the absence of saccadic eye-movements, to facilitate the processing of incoming visual information. One behavioral proxy for this so-called covert visuospatial attention (CVSA) is the validity effect (VE) ...

Towards everyday brain-computer interfacing through decoding visual cognition

Ruslan Aydarkhanov

Decoding visual cognition from non-invasive measurements of brain activity has shown valuable applications. Vision-based Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) systems extend from spellers to database search and spatial navigation. Despite the high performance of ...

Towards Modelling of Visual Saliency in Point Clouds for Immersive Applications

Touradj Ebrahimi, Evangelos Alexiou, Peisen Xu

Modelling human visual attention is of great importance in the field of computer vision and has been widely explored for 3D imaging. Yet, in the absence of ground truth data, it is unclear whether such predictions are in alignment with the actual human vie ...

Constitutive differences in glucocorticoid responsiveness are related to divergent spatial information processing abilities

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Eleni Vasilaki, Damien Sébastien Huzard, Simone Astori

The stress response facilitates survival through adaptation and is intimately related to cognitive processes. The Morris water maze task probes spatial learning and memory in rodents and glucocorticoids (i.e. corticosterone (CORT) in rats) have been sugges ...

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

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

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 ...

Context-Aware Attention Mechanism for Speech Emotion Recognition

Philip Neil Garner, Gaétan Ramet

In this work, we study the use of attention mechanisms to enhance the performance of the state-of-the-art deep learning model in Speech Emotion Recognition (SER). We introduce a new Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)-based neural network attention model which i ...

Visual perceptual learning of a task-irrelevant feature of the stimulus

Michael Herzog, Lukasz Grzeczkowski, Jessica Galliussi

Awareness, focused attention, and task-relevance were thought to be necessary for perceptual learning (PL): a Feature of the Stimulus (FoS) on which participants perform a task is learned, while a task-irrelevant FoS is not learned. This view has been chal ...

Motor-Primed Visual Attention for Humanoid Robots

Aude Billard, José Santos-Victor, Luka Lukic

We present a novel, biologically inspired, approach to an efficient allocation of visual resources for humanoid robots in a form of a motor-primed visual attentional landscape. The attentional landscape is a more general, dynamic and a more complex concept ...
