A Superpixel-Wise Just Noticeable Distortion Model
IEEE Access, 2020 The just noticeable distortion (JND) model reveals the visibility limitation. Human eyes hold different attention and sensitivity to different regions owing to different contributions to the perceptual quality.

Investigating the role of visual experience with face-masks in face recognition during COVID-19 [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The introduction of face masks during COVID-19 presents a potential challenge for human face perception and recognition. Face masks possibly hinder the holistic processing of faces leading to difficulty in facial recognition. Our present study aims to investigate this issue by probing the neuropsychological mechanisms of face recognition, while also ...

An Aerial–Aquatic Hitchhiking Robot with Remora‐Inspired Tactile Sensors and Thrust Vectoring Units
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView., 2023 An untethered aerial–aquatic hitchhiking robot that can be remotely controlled for flying, swimming, and transiting air–water boundaries rapidly (0.16 s), is presented. Notably, it can autonomously attach to various surfaces in both air and water environments using a remora‐inspired suction disc with flexible tactile sensors.

Face Reconstruction with Variational Autoencoder and Face Masks [PDF]
, 2021 Variational AutoEncoders (VAE) employ deep learning models to learn a continuous latent z-space that is subjacent to a high-dimensional observed dataset. With that, many tasks are made possible, including face reconstruction and face synthesis. In this work, we investigated how face masks can help the training of VAEs for face reconstruction, by ...

Improving visual functions in adult amblyopia with combined perceptual training and transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS): a pilot study [PDF]
, 2014 Amblyopia is a visual disorder due to an abnormal pattern of functional connectivity of the visual cortex and characterized by several visual deficits of spatial vision including impairments of visual acuity (VA) and of the contrast sensitivity function (

Stimulus-specific mechanisms of visual short-term memory [PDF]
, 1991 The retention of spatial information in visual short-term memory was assessed by measuring spatial frequency discrimination thresholds with a two-interval forced-choice task varying the time interval between the two gratings to be compared. The memory of

Biology, 2023 In informational masking paradigms, the successful segregation between the target and masker creates auditory perceptual awareness. The dynamics of the build-up of auditory perception is based on a set of interactions between bottom–up and top–down ...

Feedforward and feedback control in apraxia of speech: effects of noise masking on vowel production [PDF]
, 2015 PURPOSE: This study was designed to test two hypotheses about apraxia of speech (AOS) derived from the Directions Into Velocities of Articulators (DIVA) model (Guenther et al., 2006): the feedforward system deficit hypothesis and the feedback system ...

PLoS ONE, 2011 We investigated whether lateral masking in the near-periphery, due to inhibitory lateral interactions at an early level of central visual processing, could be weakened by perceptual learning and whether learning transferred to an untrained, higher-level ...

What's Behind the Mask: Estimating Uncertainty in Image-to-Image Problems [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Estimating uncertainty in image-to-image networks is an important task, particularly as such networks are being increasingly deployed in the biological and medical imaging realms. In this paper, we introduce a new approach to this problem based on masking.
