Peripheral Visual Cues: Their Fate in Processing and Effects on Attention and Temporal-order Perception

Frontiers in Psychology, 2016
Peripheral visual cues lead to large shifts in psychometric distributions of temporal-order judgments. In one view, such shifts are attributed to attention speeding up processing of the cued stimulus, so-called prior entry.

Region-based Skin Color Detection. [PDF]

, 2012
Skin color provides a powerful cue for complex computer vision applications. Although skin color detection has been an active research area for decades, the mainstream technology is based on the individual pixels. This paper presents a new region-based

Altered brainstem responses to modafinil in schizophrenia: implications for adjunctive treatment of cognition. [PDF]

, 2018
Candidate pro-cognitive drugs for schizophrenia targeting several neurochemical systems have consistently failed to demonstrate robust efficacy. It remains untested whether concurrent antipsychotic medications exert pharmacodynamic interactions that ...

Intermittent rate coding and cue-specific ensembles support working memory

Nature
AbstractPersistent, memorandum-specific neuronal spiking activity has long been hypothesized to underlie working memory1,2. However, emerging evidence suggests a potential role for ‘activity-silent’ synaptic mechanisms3–5. This issue remains controversial because evidence for either view has largely relied either on datasets that fail to capture single-

Cue-integration and context effects in speech: Evidence against speaking-rate normalization [PDF]

Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2012
Listeners are able to accurately recognize speech despite variation in acoustic cues across contexts, such as different speaking rates. Previous work has suggested that listeners use rate information (indicated by vowel length; VL) to modify their use of context-dependent acoustic cues, like voice-onset time (VOT), a primary cue to voicing.

Temperature-mediated changes in microbial carbon use efficiency and ¹³C discrimination [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2016
Understanding how carbon dioxide (CO2) flux from ecosystems feeds back to climate warming depends in part on our ability to quantify the efficiency with which microorganisms convert organic carbon (C) into either biomass or CO2.

The Variations of Satellite-Based Ecosystem Water Use and Carbon Use Efficiency and Their Linkages with Climate and Human Drivers in the Songnen Plain, China

Advances in Meteorology, 2019
Ecosystem water use efficiency (WUE) and carbon use efficiency (CUE), as two of the most important ecological indicators of an ecosystem, represent the carbon assimilation rate of unit water consumption and the capacity of transferring carbon from the ...

Beliefs about the Minds of Others Influence How We Process Sensory Information [PDF]

, 2013
Attending where others gaze is one of the most fundamental mechanisms of social cognition. The present study is the first to examine the impact of the attribution of mind to others on gaze-guided attentional orienting and its ERP correlates.

User Behavior As A Music Rating Cue

, 2006
The "My Rating" feature on iTunes has always felt a little clumsy. First of all, I hardly ever listen to music on iTunes itself- I listen to most of my music on my iPod. Secondly, I don't want to have to *do* anything convoluted or extra in order to register that I like or dislike a song.

Speaking Rate and Fundamental Frequency as Speech Cues to Perceived Age

Journal of Voice, 2008
This study aimed to specify a set of acoustic cues fundamental to vocal aging and to establish their perceptual relevance, using acoustic analysis and perceptual testing. Three experiments were conducted to identify the perceptual correlates of the aging voice.
