Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph presents the results of a program of research dealing with the detection of dotted stimulus forms embedded in dotted visual noise. Nineteen experiments are described concerning the detection of single flashing dots, dotted lines, and both random and regularly dotted planes. A mathematical model based upon the autocorrelational transform is also tested for some of the experiments. Among the most important findings are a remarkable insensitivity of the perceptual system to temporal and spatial irregularities and a qualitative difference in the way observers deal with planes formed from random dot arrays and dotted outlines respectively. The autocorrelation model is in general agreement with the psychophysical results against which it is tested. The main conclusion arising from this research may be summarized as the rule of linear periodicity. Observers ar sensitive to forms to the extent that they contain dotted, straight lines with equal interdot spacing. This sensitivity appears to be a primitive of visual perception in a manner that is analogous to the sensitivity exhibited by the autocorrelation to periodic forms. Historical and lexicographic matters pertaining to the problem of form perception are also discussed in this monograph. (Author).
Book Synopsis The Detection of Nonplanar Surfaces in Visual Space by : W. R. Uttal
Download or read book The Detection of Nonplanar Surfaces in Visual Space written by W. R. Uttal and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-01-14 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1984. This monograph is the third in a series that examines the nature of a midlevel visual process relatively uncontaminated by either peripheral receptor or central cognitive processing. The paradigm utilized in this study selectively assays what seems to be a relatively fixed algorithmic mechanism involved in the extraction of dotted stimulus-forms from masks consisting of random dots.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the papers presented at the International Workshop on Visual Fonn, held in Capri (Italy) on May 27-30, 1991. The workshop, sponsored by the International Association for Pattern Recognition (!APR), has been jointly organized by the Dipartimento di Infonnatica e Sisternistica of the University of Naples and the Istituto di Cibemetica of the National Research Council of Italy, and has focussed on Shape. Shape is a distinctive feature of most patterns, so that recognition can often be attained through shape discrimination. The organizers of the workshop shared the general feeling manifested by researchers, that it was time for holding a meeting exclusively devoted to a feature so crucial for both human and machine perception. During this meeting, problems and prospects in the field of 2D and 3D shape analysis could be discussed extensively, so as to provide an effective, updated picture of the current research activity in which shape plays a central role. Indeed, many highly qualified researchers in the field positively reacted to the Call for Papers.
Book Synopsis On Seeing Forms by : William R. Uttal
Download or read book On Seeing Forms written by William R. Uttal and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-06-27 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1988, this is the final volume in the set. The original intent of the tetralogy was to review neural explanations of high level perceptual and cognitive processes. However, at this point, it became clear that there were few neural explanations of perceptual topics – a situation that still persists today. This book, therefore, used a different framework examining the role of detection, discrimination, and recognition at the behavioral level.

Book Synopsis The Uttal Tetralogy of Cognitive Neuroscience by : William R. Uttal
Download or read book The Uttal Tetralogy of Cognitive Neuroscience written by William R. Uttal and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2022-07-30 with total page 2995 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These four volumes, originally published between 1973 and 1988, were intended to provide a broad survey of cognitive neuroscience, a field known variously as physiological psychology or psychobiology in the 1970s and 1980s when the books were written. The general goal was to summarize what was known about the relation between brain and mind at that time, with an emphasis on sensory and perceptual topics. Out of print for many years, the Tetralogy is now available again, as a set for the first time (which is as the author envisaged it), or as individual volumes.

Book Synopsis Problems in Applied Mathematics by : Murray S. Klamkin
Download or read book Problems in Applied Mathematics written by Murray S. Klamkin and published by SIAM. This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 613 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People in all walks of life--and perhaps mathematicians especially--delight in working on problems for the sheer pleasure of meeting a challenge. The problem section of SIAM Review has always provided such a challenge for mathematicians. The section was started to offer classroom instructors and their students as well as other interested problemists, a set of problems--solved or unsolved-- illustrating various applications of mathematics. In many cases the unsolved problems were eventually solved. Problems in Applied Mathematics is a compilation of 380 of SIAM Review's most interesting problems dating back to the journal's inception in 1959. The problems are classified into 22 broad categories including Series, Special Functions, Integrals, Polynomials, Probability, Combinatorics, Matrices and Determinants, Optimization, Inequalities, Ordinary Differential Equations, Boundary Value Problems, Asymptotics and Approximations, Mechanics, Graph Theory, and Geometry.
Download or read book The Swimmer written by William R. Uttal and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-02-25 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research monograph describes a large programming project in which an underwater organism, capable of perceiving, learning, deciding, and navigating, is computationally simulated. The developed computational model serves as a contemporary theory of perceptual-motor performance, embodying much of what is known about human vision and some of what is known about other cognitive processes. This artificial intelligence project has substantial contributions to make to the development of autonomous underwater vehicles. It also makes a specific theoretical statement about the organization and nature of organic perceptual motor systems that may be useful to psychologists, neuroscientists, and theoreticians in a number of other fields.
Book Synopsis Time, Space, and Number in Physics and Psychology (Psychology Revivals) by : William R. Uttal
Download or read book Time, Space, and Number in Physics and Psychology (Psychology Revivals) written by William R. Uttal and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The crux of the debate between proponents of behavioral psychology and cognitive psychology focuses on the issue of accessibility. Cognitivists believe that mental mechanisms and processes are accessible, and that their inner workings can be inferred from experimental observations of behavior. Behaviorists, on the contrary, believe that mental processes and mechanisms are inaccessible, and that nothing important about them can be inferred from even the most cleverly designed empirical studies. One argument that is repeatedly raised by cognitivists is that even though mental processes are not directly accessible, this should not be a barrier to unravelling the nature of the inner mental processes and mechanisms. Inference works for other sciences, such as physics, so why not psychology? If physics can work so successfully with their kind of inaccessibility to make enormous theoretical progress, then why not psychology? As with most previous psychological debates, there is no "killer argument" that can provide an unambiguous resolution. In its absence, author William Uttal explores the differing properties of physical and psychological time, space, and mathematics before coming to the conclusion that there are major discrepancies between the properties of the respective subject matters that make the analogy of comparable inaccessibilities a false one. This title was first published in 2008.
Book Synopsis A Behaviorist Looks at Form Recognition by : William R. Uttal
Download or read book A Behaviorist Looks at Form Recognition written by William R. Uttal and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years behaviorism was criticized because it rejected the study of perception. This rejection was based on the extreme view that percepts were internal subjective experiences and thus not subject to examination. This book argues that this logic is incorrect and shows how visual perception, particularized in the study of form recognition, can be carried out from the behavioral point of view if certain constraints and limitations are understood and accepted. The book discusses the idea of representation of forms, considers the major historical neural, psychological, and computational theories of form recognition, and then concludes by presenting a modern approach to the problem. In this book, William Uttal continues his critical analysis of the foundations of modern psychology. He is particularly concerned with the logical and conceptual foundations of visual perception and uses form recognition as a vehicle to rationalize the discrepancies between classic behaviorism and what we now appreciate are legitimate research areas.
Book Synopsis Perceiving in Depth, Volume 1: Basic Mechanisms by : Ian P. Howard
Download or read book Perceiving in Depth, Volume 1: Basic Mechanisms written by Ian P. Howard and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-27 with total page 671 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The three-volume work Perceiving in Depth is a sequel to Binocular Vision and Stereopsis and to Seeing in Depth, both by Ian P. Howard and Brian J. Rogers. This work is much broader in scope than the previous books and includes mechanisms of depth perception by all senses, including aural, electrosensory organs, and the somatosensory system. Volume 1 reviews sensory coding, psychophysical and analytic procedures, and basic visual mechanisms. Volume 2 reviews stereoscopic vision. Volume 3 reviews all mechanisms of depth perception other than stereoscopic vision. The three volumes are extensively illustrated and referenced and provide the most detailed review of all aspects of perceiving the three-dimensional world. Volume 1 starts with a review of the history of visual science from the ancient Greeks to the early 20th century with special attention devoted to the discovery of the principles of perspective and stereoscopic vision. The first chapter also contains an account of early visual display systems, such as panoramas and peepshows, and the development of stereoscopes and stereophotography. A chapter on the psychophysical and analytic procedures used in investigations of depth perception is followed by a chapter on sensory coding and the geometry of visual space. An account of the structure and physiology of the primate visual system proceeds from the eye through the LGN to the visual cortex and higher visual centers. This is followed by a review of the evolution of visual systems and of the development of the mammalian visual system in the embryonic and post-natal periods, with an emphasis on experience-dependent neural plasticity. An account of the development of perceptual functions, especially depth perception, is followed by a review of the effects of early visual deprivation during the critical period of neural plasticity on amblyopia and other defects in depth perception. Volume 1 ends with accounts of the accommodation mechanism of the human eye and vergence eye movements.

Book Synopsis Reliability in Cognitive Neuroscience by : William R. Uttal
Download or read book Reliability in Cognitive Neuroscience written by William R. Uttal and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cognitive neuroscientists increasingly claim that brain images generated by new brain imaging technologies reflect, correlate, or represent cognitive processes. This book warns against these claims, arguing that, despite its utility in anatomic and physiological applications, brain imaging research has not provided consistent evidence for correlation with cognition. It bases this argument on a review of the empirical literature, pointing to variability in data not only among subjects within individual experiments but also in the meta-analytical approach that pools data from different experiments.
Book Synopsis Macroneural Theories in Cognitive Neuroscience by : William R. Uttal
Download or read book Macroneural Theories in Cognitive Neuroscience written by William R. Uttal and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2015-07-24 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, William R. Uttal continues his analysis and critique of theories of mind. This book considers theories that are based on macroneural responses (such as those obtained from fMRI) that represent the averaged or cumulative responses of many neurons. The analysis is carried out with special emphasis on the logical and conceptual difficulties in developing a theory but with special attention to some of the current attempts to go from these cumulative responses to explanations of the grand question of how the mind is generated by the brain. While acknowledging the importance of these macroneural techniques in the study of the anatomy and physiology of the brain, Uttal concludes that this macroneural approach is not likely to produce a valid neural theory of cognition because the critical information—the states of the individual neurons—involved in brain activity becoming mental activity is actually lost in the process of summation. Controversial topics are considered in detail including discussions of empirical, logical, and technological barriers to theory building in cognitive neuroscience.
