Colloquium

Abstract - Magritte, the famous Belgian Surrealist, played masterfully with aspects of visual perception that we in the field of Sensory-Perceptual neuroscience have studied for many years. His art…

Abstract - Recent results indicate that an object’s visual location is constructed at a high level where, critically, an object’s motion is discounted to recover its current location. As a result, we…

There will be two parts (half-hour each) to this colloquium. A bstract - Part I. Characterization of natural eye and head movements driving retinal flow In the absence of moving objects, retinal flow…

Abstract: - As humans investigate the visual environment, they make two to three fixations a second. At each fixation, each eye has to focus on the target to obtain sharp vision, the two eyes must be…

Abstract - A significant problem for individuals who are blind or visually impaired (BVIs) is the lack of access to graphical information. Part of this is due to the expertise, time and cost needed to…

Abstract - At Dreamwaves we are developing an intuitive audio navigation system using augmented reality and spatial audio to provide an easy navigation experience. One of our main target groups is…

Abstract - Dr. Alexa will be presenting work from 3 projects: shapeCAD: An Accessible 3D Modelling Workflow for the Blind and Visually-Impaired Via 2.5D Shape Displays http://shape.stanford.edu…

Abstract - Multisensory psychophysics and neuroscience have bloomed in the last several decades. In this talk, I first aim to give a critical review of the field by a list of commonly-accepted…

Abstract- Currently, tactile displays are extremely expensive and hard to produce. They often consist of multiple moving parts, and have a limited fidelity. To show a tactile image to the user, it…

Abstract - Despite centuries of study, the principles and processes mediating our color perception remain poorly understood. We have explored these principles by examining individual differences in…
