Interaction of depth probes and style of depiction
Journal Title: i-Perception - Year , Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
We study the effect of stylistic differences on the nature of pictorial spaces as they appear to an observer when looking into a picture. Four pictures chosen from diverse styles of depiction were studied by 2 different methods. Each method addresses pictorial depth but draws on a different bouquet of depth cues. We find that the depth structures are very similar for 8 observers, apart from an idiosyncratic depth scaling (up to a factor of 3). The differences between observers generalize over (very different) pictures and (very different) methods. They are apparently characteristic of the person. The differences between depths as sampled by the 2 methods depend upon the style of the picture. This is the case for all observers except one.

Hearing mouth shapes: Sound symbolism and the reverse McGurk effect
In their recent article, Sweeny, Guzman-Martinez, Ortega, Grabowecky, and Suzuki (2012) demonstrate that heard speech sounds modulate the perceived shape of briefly presented visual stimuli. Ovals, whose aspect ratio (re...
Afterimages from unseen stimuli
Observers adapted to a field of randomly coloured twinkling tiles, in which was embedded a faint, subthreshold green letter. Observers failed to discern this letter, but they readily reported its pink afterimage afterwar...
View-based matching can be more than image matching: The importance of considering an animal's perspective
Using vision for navigation is important for many animals and a common debate is the extent to which spatial performance can be explained by “simple” view-based matching strategies. We discuss, in the con...

Prevalence effect in haptic search
In visual search tasks, the ratio of target-present to target-absent trials has important effects on miss rates. In this study, we examined whether the target prevalence effect occurs in a haptic search task by using art...
