Perception / i-Perception @pec-ipe.bsky.social · about 8 hours ago

🔢 Does spatial position influence how we perceive number? New research in i-Perception compares three cognitive systems, finding that spatial position affects approximate number processing differently from object tracking and visual working memory. 🔗 doi.org/10.1177/2041...

I think many conceptualise the different fields of visual cognition (attention, working memory, etc.) as different mechanisms/processes but without definition of what those mechanisms are operating upon (i.e. the "representation"). What if it's the same process, but simply different representations?

Sami Mollard @samimollard.bsky.social from Pieter Roelfsema's lab @pieterroelfsema.bsky.social visited us at Brown, and the project brought together their work on incremental grouping in visual cortex with our recurrent vision models. New preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2610.05419

Recurrent network dynamics explain the time course of perceptual grouping in natural scenes

How the brain groups image elements into coherent objects in natural scenes remains unclear. Existing models for grouping in biological vision rely on simplified stimuli with explicit boundaries and c...

Vision Science, by Stephen Palmer, 1st edition. From the defitions on page 723: "Perspective projection is a method of image formation in which light from the environment converges towards a single focal point (pole) before striking the image plane."

When pre & post cues are the same, attention is aligned & we'd expect performance to be better. But part of this process relies on how subjects compress the visual scene and store it in memory, to be able to provide the post-cue info after the scene is gone. This part is under-discussed.

Some attention tasks provide a pre-cue, telling the subject what might be important in the visual scene they about to see, and then, afterwards, a post-cue which tells them what information about the scene they saw they need to provide.

So many tasks used to study visual attention depend critically on processes of memory/compression. It would probably be better if we had more words to clearly label the types of tasks we're doing, to help tease about the functions they test/rely on. #psychscisky #neuroskyence
