   Author : Erik Marsja; Jessica K. Ljungberg; Gregory Neely; Patrik Hansson; François Vachon; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Attention Capture; Tactile; Auditory; Visual; Crossmodal; Bimodal; Distraction; Short-term memory; Attention; Psychology; psykologi;

   Abstract : The main focus for this thesis was cross-modal attention capture by sudden and unexpected sounds and vibrations, known as deviants, presented in a stream the same to-be-ignored stimulus. More specifically, the thesis takes a multisensory perspective and examines the possible similarities and differences in how deviant vibrations and sounds affect visual task performance (Study I), and whether the deviant and standard stimuli have to be presented within the same modality to capture attention away from visual tasks (Study II).

4. 2. Visual Attention in Active Vision Systems : Attending, Classifying and Manipulating Objects

   Author : Babak Rasolzadeh; Jan-Olof Eklundh; Ales Leonardis; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; visual attention; saliency map; compter vision; robotics; active vision; machine learning;

   Abstract : This thesis has presented a computational model for the combination of bottom-up and top-down attentional mechanisms. Furthermore, the use for this model has been demonstrated in a variety of applications of machine and robotic vision. READ MORE

5. 3. What Does it Take to Get your Attention? : The influence of In-Store and Out-of-Store Factors on Visual Attention and Decision Making for Fast-moving Consumer Goods

   Author : Poja Shams; Anders Gustafsson; Erik Wästlund; Martin Löfgren; A. Parasuraman; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; point-of-purchase marketing; influencing factors; out-of-store; in-store; shelf space; product packaging; package design; visual attention; visual search; eye-tracking; process-tracing; gaze cascade model; recognition heuristic; familiarity; decision-making; decision-making process; decision-making strategies; heuristic decision-making; preference formation; information processing; Business Administration; Företagsekonomi;

   Abstract : Decision making for fast-moving consumer goods involves a choice between numerous similar alternatives. Under such demanding circumstances, a decision is made for one product. The decision is dependent on the interaction between the environment and the mind of the consumer, both of which are filled with information that can influence the outcome. READ MORE

6. 4. Investigations of neural attractor dynamics in human visual awareness

   Author : David N. Silverstein; Pawel Herman; Martin Ingvar; Karl Friston; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; attractor dynamics; visual awareness; visual perception; visual attention; attentional blink; backward masking; gliomas; brain tumor; white matter; cell assemblies; neocortical model; threat response; fear signaling; amygdala; Biological Physics; Biologisk fysik; Computer Science; Datalogi; Tillämpad matematik och beräkningsmatematik; Applied and Computational Mathematics;

   Abstract : What we see, how we see it and what emotions may arise from stimuli has long been studied by philosophers, psychologists, medical doctors and neuroscientists. This thesis work investigates a particular view on the possible dynamics, utilizing computational models of spiking neural attractor networks. READ MORE
