• Abstract: Visual emergence is the phenomenon in which the visual system obtains a holistic perception after grouping and reorganizing local signals. The picture Dalmatian dog is known for its use in explaining visual emergence. This type of image, which consists of a set of discrete black speckles (speckles), is called an emerging image. Not everyone can find the dog in Dalmatian dog, and among those who can, the time spent varies greatly. Although Gestalt theory summarizes perceptual organization into several principles, it remains ambiguous how these principles affect the perception of emerging images. This study, therefore, designed three psychological experiments to explore the factors that influence the perception of emerging images. In the first, we found that the density of speckles in the local area and the arrangements of some key speckles played a key role in the perception of an emerging case. We set parameters in the algorithm to characterize these two factors. We then automatically generated diversified emerging-test images (ETIs) through the algorithm and verified their effectiveness in two subsequent experiments.

• A Bioplausible Model for the Expanding Hole Illusion: Insights into Retinal Processing and Illusory Motion [1.6574413179773761]
  The Expanding Hole Illusion challenges our understanding of how the brain processes visual information. Recent psychophysical studies reveal that this illusion induces not only a perceptual effect but also physiological responses, such as pupil dilation. This paper presents a computational model based on Difference of Gaussians (DoG) filtering and a classical receptive field (CRF) implementation to simulate early retinal processing.

• When Does Perceptual Alignment Benefit Vision Representations? [76.32336818860965]
  We investigate how aligning vision model representations to human perceptual judgments impacts their usability. We find that aligning models to perceptual judgments yields representations that improve upon the original backbones across many downstream tasks. Our results suggest that injecting an inductive bias about human perceptual knowledge into vision models can contribute to better representations.

  We show that DISentangled COunterfactual Visual interpretER (DISCOVER) can be applied to the domain of natural images. First, DISCOVER visually interpreted the nose size, the muzzle area, and the face size as semantic discriminative visual traits discriminating between facial images of dogs versus cats. Second, DISCOVER visually interpreted the cheeks and jawline, eyebrows and hair, and the eyes, as discriminative facial characteristics.

  Two contrasting conceptions of the inference process have each been influential in research on biological vision and machine vision. We show that vision inverts a generative model through an interrogation of the evidence in a process often thought to involve top-down predictions of sensory data. We explain and clarify the terminology, review the key empirical evidence, and propose an empirical research program that transcends and sets the stage for revealing the mysterious hybrid algorithm of primate vision.

• Conditions on detecting tripartite entangled state in psychophysical experiments [0.0]
  We examine the possibility of human subjects perceiving multipartite entangled state through psychophysical experiments. To model the photodetection by humans, we employ the probability of seeing determined for coherently amplified photons in Fock number states. Our results indicate that detecting bipartite and tripartite entanglement with the human eye is possible for a certain range of additive noise levels and visual thresholds.

The proposed new architecture ingests images and returns scanpaths, a sequence of points featuring a high likelihood of catching viewers' attention.

  Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been shown to provide excellent models for its functional analogue in the brain, the ventral stream in visual cortex. Here we consider some prominent statistical patterns that are known to exist in the internal representations of either CNNs or the visual cortex. We show that CNNs and visual cortex share a similarly tight relationship between dimensionality expansion/reduction of object representations and reformatting of image information.
