Are numbers, size and brightness equally efficient in orienting visual attention? Evidence from an eye-tracking study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 A number of studies have shown strong relations between numbers and oriented spatial codes. For example, perceiving numbers causes spatial shifts of attention depending upon numbers' magnitude, in a way suggestive of a spatially oriented, mental ...

Cross-modal commutativity of magnitude productions of loudness and brightness [PDF]
Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2021 AbstractIn their fundamental paper, Luce, Steingrimsson, and Narens (2010, Psychological Review, 117, 1247-1258) proposed that ratio productions constituting a generalization of cross-modality matching may be represented on a single scale of subjective intensity, if they meet “cross-dimensional commutativity.” The present experiment is the first to ...

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2023 The brightness (perceived intensity) of a region of visual space depends on its luminance and on the luminance of nearby regions. This phenomenon is called brightness induction and includes both brightness contrast and assimilation.

Theoretical formulation and experimental validation of brightness evaluation using digital cameras
Results in Optics, 2021 In this study, we formulated the brightness relation of two digital photos captured by a single digital camera and verified it experimentally. The experimental results suggested that the used zoom lens has an intrinsic error, thereby making accurate ...
