The photo provides a visual representation of equality of status, in which no one performer serves as a leader.
Explorers were much read and talked about and their adventures were re-enacted in lecture halls, theatres, and in all manner of visual entertainments.
Saccades are reflexively triggered by a suddenly appearing visual target and are also under volitional control.
Other contributing factors may include decline in sensory input (hearing and visual acuity), working memory and executive function.
Secondary outcome measures were physiological function (assessed in terms of blood pressure and heart rate) and subjective effects (measured using visual analogue scales).
Visual context appeared to be a compelling source of information.
Most interestingly, the visual evidence for the third-person actor is coded by the first-person-actor marker added to the verb.
Long-term potentiation and experience-dependent plasticity in visual cortex are coregulated by age and experience.
The words being rated for imageability were not presented via a loudspeaker because the lexical property of interest was visual, not aural.
Now, this passage concerns not light, but the visual ray.
Do we passively accept the visual information they convey, or must we actively construct such information?
The dispute thus centred on the value of visual evidence from different observers during the famine and in the past.
We agree with barlow on the plausibility of rotation-tuned visual cortical neurons, which may be involved in the twisting motion experience in shepard's experiments.
The visual system has no need to resort to a generalized default.
The most abstract way to describe regularities of the physical world that are reflected in the visual system consists in pointing out mere statistical relationships.
Such preference might perhaps be plausible if it were to refer to visual uniqueness or salience.
Finally, when they are compared with respect to the easiness of visual computations of the required motion parameters, rotation translation appears simpler.
One might suppose, with shepard, that our visual system proceeds by applying internal knowledge of kinematic geometry.
Perhaps the visual system could use some other, more easily computable type of construction, but this remains to be shown.
Similarly, the degree of visual support for /da/ can be represented by vj, and the support for /ba/ by (1 vj).
The same is true for the visual support.
Consequently, if the visual system does behave in accordance with these principles, as ke concede, it must internally represent them in some way.
The important point is that color categories and their interrelationships result from visual processing.
How does the visual system select from this infinite range of possible percepts to produce the single perceptual interpretation observed phenomenally?
However, should we associate color with a physical property when the visual system is only able to estimate the property imprecisely?
Would not the global array concept explain how a /d/ can be perceived from the concurrent visual specification of /g/ and auditory specification of /b/?
Optic flow, for instance, specifies relative motion with regard to the visual environment.
Second, the authors propose that damage to visual/sensory features will simply make inaccessible the functional information associated with the visual representation.
Performance on object naming was tested by giving the visual attributes as input and seeing whether the correct name was generated as output.
The nature of the visual/perceptual impairment may also be important if the role of parts versus overall shape differs across categories (see above).
Now, if these important (perhaps even defining) visual/sensory features are impaired, then patients may not have enough information to differentiate one exemplar from another.
The two models disagree about the potential effects of visual context on this representation.
A particular visual function can be present only if there is a physical mechanism present in the brain to mediate it.
However, it is the visual function, or rather the behaviour dependent on that function, that is selected for by evolution.
There are a number of aspects of visual imagery that have not been covered in the discussion of this section.
Either way, the end result is a system that can produce visual imagery.
Visual imagery also involves the off-line operation of an emulator (in this case, a motor-visual emulator).
In the latter model, a single visual representation is said to subserve actions, whereas a separate representation subserves perceptions.
A review of studies from healthy subjects reveals differences between the visual and cognitive processes involved in planning and control.
As we conceive it, the problem concerns certain properties that are represented by the human visual system and those of a variety of other animals.
When trying to sleep in a dark room, one would experience the most brilliant possible white spread over the entire visual field.
The first possibility is that physicalism is true for the visual world.
After approximately 90 msec, the features that make up the word's orthographic form are being processed within the primary visual cortex (1).
To be consistent with our own viewpoint, we have then to posit that early visual processing involves neither representation nor computation.
Is his omission due to the fact that the classical approach to visual imagery would not easily fit the model?
Furthermore, holographic growth seems a useful model of the way in which the visual system builds up its representation of regularities.
In the course of evolution, our visual system became attuned to only a few of the innumerably many kinds of regularity in the world.
The first two problem areas mentioned above concern issues typical for visual processing, and have, therefore, little relevance for this commentary.
The target article also emphasizes the role of visual exploration.
Second, there are several kinds of visual experience which occur when organism and environment are not actively coupled.
Other studies suggest that the visual system treats modal and amodal completion quite differently.
According to this hypothesis, neural assemblies in high-level visual areas, coding unrelated features or objects, exert mutual inhibitory or desynchronizing actions.
In this experiment, there are two ongoing subtasks: a visual-rhyme task and an auditory-digit task.
However, from the point of view of the present theory of visual experience, such compensation is unnecessary.
You lack, as we shall say, visual awareness of many of the aspects of the visual scene.
He called this the "aspect graph" or "visual potential" of the tomato.
There can therefore be no one-to-one correspondence between visual experience and neural activations.
Most early work on change blindness derived from the study of visual integration and focused on the detection of changes during reading.
As we argue below, the visual system does maintain a representation of the visual environment.
In particular, visual perception relies on topographically mapped representations, but there is no evidence that the representation of objects in working memory is topographic.
The authors use the example of airplane simulators that include visual and inertial information.
All velocities are relative to the visual surrounding.
We believe a more satisfactory explanation of the limited capacity of visual working memory is provided by a between-item segregation hypothesis.
We now turn to a third important aspect of vision, namely, visual awareness.
Both emphasize external properties of the world, challenging views based on the analysis of internal visual processing.
A large gap was therefore present in the tactile representation of the visual field.
The dorsal and ventral visual systems are defined anatomically.
Again, testing was only in the visual modality.
However, this rotation seems to involve the visual memory of a geometrical transformation, rather than the mental geometrical transformation of a visual memory.
Rather, it may be more appropriate to describe the calibration of visual-motor transformations as involving procedural memory.
Their response to visual traps alone also was significantly lower than that of mature flies, about half the percentage.
Visual information is, of course, not necessary for speech perception.
They argue that we do not impute irrationality to our visual systems because they fail to screen out the information that is not focal.
Visual imagery is perhaps the most defining quality of dream mentation.
Information comes into the hippocampal system from the cerebral cortex, including the visual, auditory, sensory cortices and the motor cortex.
A visual cold tolerance score was always related to better winter survival.
Of course, in the case of visual selection by the breeder, the assessment encapsulates yielding ability, disease resistance and agronomic type.
As a basis for comparison, visual plot assessment by a breeder is also analysed in the same framework.
In the data used, lodging was recorded by visual assessment of the proportion of lodging in the field.
The designer once again turns on the visual information service and specifies this new problem.
The objective of information granulation is to identify and accumulate data and knowledge related to visual typology practice in design.
Panzarella (1977: 180-1, 248-50) indeed found more such responses in the music experiences than in those of visual art.
