Many studies have tested perceptual symbols in conceptual processing and found that perceptual symbols contain experiences from multisensory channels. However, whether the disability of one sensory channel affects the processing of the perceptual sym...
Denoising diffusion probabilistic models are a promising new class of generative models that mark a milestone in high-quality image generation. This paper showcases their ability to sequentially generate video, surpassing prior methods in perceptual...
Reading and interpreting a map represents an essential part of daily life, enabling appropriate orientation and navigation through space. Based on the idea that perceptual analogical reasoning is critical in aligning the spatial structure of the map...
The brain’s ability to create a unified conscious representation of an object by integrating information from multiple perception pathways is called perceptual binding. Binding is crucial for normal cognitive function. Some perceptual binding e...
Although results from factor-analytic studies of the broad, second-stratum abilities of human intelligence have been fairly consistent for decades, the list of broad abilities is far from complete, much less understood. We propose criteria by which t...
Purpose: This paper investigated the visual–perceptual and visual–motor skills and the reversal frequency of letters and numbers that mirror one another in one hundred children aged 6–13 years diagnosed with poor reading skills. Met...
Psychoacoustic models of human auditory perception have found an important application in the realm of perceptual audio coding, where exploiting the limitations of perception and removal of irrelevance is key to achieving a significant reduction in b...
Previous research suggests that musical ability is associated with language processing and foreign language pronunciation. Whether musical ability is associated with the ability to generate intelligible unfamiliar utterances has not been investigated...
Background: Chiari malformation is a condition involving caudal descent of the hindbrain which herniates the cerebellar tonsils through the foramen magnum. The purpose of this study was to quantify auditory deficits in an affected individual and to e...
Lane localization is one of the core tasks in an autonomous driving system. It receives the visual information collected by the camera and the lane marks and road edges information outputted from the perception module and gives lane index for the sub...
