Aesthetic Image Statistics Vary with Artistic Genre [PDF]
Vision, 2020 Research to date has not found strong evidence for a universal link between any single low-level image statistic, such as fractal dimension or Fourier spectral slope, and aesthetic ratings of images in general. This study assessed whether different image

Natural image statistics for mouse vision. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 The mouse has dichromatic color vision based on two different types of opsins: short (S)- and middle (M)-wavelength-sensitive opsins with peak sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV; 360 nm) and green light (508 nm), respectively.

Systematic Differences Between Perceptually Relevant Image Statistics of Brain MRI and Natural Images [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroinformatics, 2019 It is well-known that the human visual system is adapted to the statistical structure of natural scenes. Yet there are important classes of images – for example, medical images – that are not natural scenes, and therefore, that are expected to have ...

Image Statistics and the Representation of Material Properties in the Visual Cortex [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2016 We explored perceived material properties (roughness, texturedness, and hardness) with a novel approach that compares perception, image statistics and brain activation, as measured with fMRI.

Image statistics substantiate Gaudí’s naturalistic design principles [PDF]
Scientific ReportsHuman observers perceive natural and man-made environments differently, a distinction measurable through image statistics. However, limited evidence exists on how architectural style influences these statistics and, consequently, visual perception ...

Melanopsin-mediated image statistics from natural and human-made environments [PDF]
Scientific ReportsMelanopsin-expressing intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) play a critical role in regulating physiological and behavioral responses to light.

Image Statistics and the Fine Lines of Material Perception [PDF]
i-Perception, 2016 We experience vivid percepts of objects and materials despite complexities in the way images are structured by the interaction of light with surface properties (3D shape, albedo, and gloss or specularity). Although the perception of gloss (and lightness)

Gaussian-binary restricted Boltzmann machines for modeling natural image statistics. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 We present a theoretical analysis of Gaussian-binary restricted Boltzmann machines (GRBMs) from the perspective of density models. The key aspect of this analysis is to show that GRBMs can be formulated as a constrained mixture of Gaussians, which gives ...

A Comparison of Image Statistics of Peacock Jumping Spider Colour Patterns and Natural Scenes [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe form of arbitrary sexual signals may be driven by the need to be detectable against the background or, alternatively, by selection for efficient processing by the nervous system. This latter alternative is a prediction of the sensory drive hypothesis

The nature effect in motion: visual exposure to environmental scenes impacts cognitive load and human gait kinematics [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Prolonged exposure to urban environments requires higher cognitive processing resources than exposure to nature environments, even if only visual cues are available.
