The present dissertation comprises four empirical studies within the area of preferential processing. READ MORE

  4. 2. Does the way in which we perceive the world make us susceptible to anxiety?

    Author : Billy Jansson; Lars-Göran Öst; Lars-Gunnar Lundh; Marcel Van den Hout; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Preattentive processing; selective attention; trait anxiety; defensiveness; emotional responses; emotional vulnerability; Psychology; Psykologi;

    Abstract : One major focus of anxiety research in recent years has been the identification of cognitive factors that promote increased vulnerability to anxiety.

    Author : Carl-Johan Westelius; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Robot vision; Resolution pyramids; Phase-based disparity estimation; Focus of attention; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : A framework for a hierarchical approach to gaze control of a robot vision system is presented, and a implementation on a simulated robot is described. The robot is equipped with a heterogeneous sampled imaging system, a fovea, resembling the varying resolution in a human retina. READ MORE
