Visual Perception Laboratory (Foley) |
Project: |
Context Effects in Pattern Vision |
Description: |
Humans are very good at seeing patterns and telling
them apart. The processes that underlie this capacity are complex
and not yet understood. Our ability to see patterns depends greatly
on the context within which they are presented. Other patterns presented
close in time and space to a target pattern have large effects, sometimes
increasing our ability to see the pattern and sometimes decreasing
it. This project investigates these context effects and uses them
to develop a model of how pattern vision works. |
Duties: |
Independent research students (99/199) will first be subjects in
an experiment and then will conduct the experiment with other subjects.
They will analyze and interpret the data in collaboration with the
professor. |
Additional Requirements: |
3.0 grade point average, at least one course in perception. |
