  • Virtual Reality and Visual Perception by Jared Bendis
    Virtual Reality and Visual Perception by Jared Bendis Introduction Goldstein (2002) defines perception as a “conscious sensory experience” (p. 6) and as scientists investigate how the human perceptual system works they also find themselves investigating how the human perceptual system doesn’t work and how that system can be fooled, exploited, and even circumvented. The pioneers in the ability to control the human perceptual system have been in the field of Virtual Realty. In Simulated and Virtual Realities – Elements of Perception, Carr (1995) defines Virtual Reality as “…the stimulation of human perceptual experience to create an impression of something which is not really there” (p. 5). Heilig (2001) refers to this form of “realism” as “experience” and in his 1955 article about “The Cinema of the Future” where he addresses the need to look carefully at perception and breaks down the precedence of perceptual attention as: Sight 70% Hearing 20% Smell 5% Touch 4% Taste 1% (p. 247) Not surprisingly sight is considered the most important of the senses as Leonardo da Vinci observed: “They eye deludes itself less than any of the other senses, because it sees by none other than the straight lines which compose a pyramid, the base of which is the object, and the lines conduct the object to the eye… But the ear is strongly subject to delusions about the location and distance of its objects because the images [of sound] do not reach it in straight lines, like those of the eye, but by tortuous and reflexive lines. … The sense of smells is even less able to locate the source of an odour.

Intelligence of Bearded Dragons Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Murray State University Honors Diploma Sydney Herndon 04/2021 i Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to study and explain the intelligence of bearded dragons. Bearded dragons (Pogona spp.) are a species of reptile that have been popular in recent years as pets. Until recently, not much was known about their intelligence levels due to lack of appropriate research and studies on the species. Scientists have been studying the physical and social characteristics of bearded dragons to determine if they possess a higher intelligence than previously thought. One adaptation that makes bearded dragons unique is how they respond to heat. Bearded dragons optimize their metabolic functions through a narrow range of body temperatures that are maintained through thermoregulation. Many of their behaviors are temperature dependent, such as their speed when moving and their food response. When they are cold, these behaviors decrease due to their lower body temperature.

The assumption is that, if a species perceives the illusion like humans do, they probably share the same perceptual mechanisms. Here, we investigated whether horses are susceptible to the Muller-Lyer illusion, a size illusion in which two same-sized lines appear to be different in length because of the spatial arrangements of arrowheads presented at the two ends of the lines. Horses showed a human-like perception of this illusion, meaning that they may display similar perceptual mechanisms underlying the size estimation of objects. Abstract: The perception of different size illusions is believed to be determined by size-scaling mechanisms that lead individuals to extrapolate inappropriate 3D information from 2D stimuli. The Muller-Lyer illusion represents one of the most investigated size illusions. Studies on non-human primates showed a human-like perception of this illusory pattern.

  • A Neuro-Mathematical Model for Size and Context Related Illusions
    A neuro-mathematical model for size and context related illusions. B. Franceschiello, A. Sarti, G. Citti March 2019 Abstract We provide here a mathematical model of size/context illusions, inspired by the functional architecture of the visual cortex. We first recall previous models of scale and orientation, in particular [46], and simplify it, only considering the feature of scale. Then we recall the deformation model of illusion, introduced by [16] to describe orientation related GOIs, and adapt it to size illusion. We finally apply the model to the Ebbinghaus and Delboeuf illusions, validating the results by comparing with experimental data from [34] and [44]. 1 Introduction Geometrical-optical illusions (GOIs) are a class of phenomena first discovered by German physicists and physiologists in the late XIX century, among them Oppel and Hering ([39], [22]), and can be defined as situations where a perceptual mismatch between the visual stimulus and its geometrical properties arise [53]. Those illusions are typically analyzed according to the main geometrical features of the stimulus, whether it is contours orientation, contrast, context influence, size or a combination of the above mentioned ones ([53, 38, 11]). arXiv:1908.10162v1 [q-bio.NC] 27 Aug 2019 Figure 1: The Ebbinghaus illusion (left) and the Delboeuf illusion (right) In this work we are mainly interested in size and context related phenomena, a class of stimuli where the size of the surroundings elements induces a misperception of the central target width. In figure 1, two famous effects are presented, the Ebbinghaus and Delboeuf illusions: the presence of circular inducers (figure 1, left) and of an annulus (figure 1, right) varies the perceived sizes of the central targets.
