'James J. DiCarlo'] The ability to recognize written letter strings is foundational to human reading, but the underlying neuronal mechanisms remain largely unknown. Recent behavioral research in baboons suggests that non-human primates may provide an opportunity to investigate this question. We recorded the activity of…

'Gerd Schulte-Körne'] The main diagnostic criterion for developmental dyslexia (DD) in transparent orthographies is a remarkable reading speed deficit, which is often accompanied by spelling difficulties. These deficits have been traced back to both deficits in orthographic and phonological processing. For a better…

To read efficiently, individuals must be able to rapidly identify letters within their visual networks, which occurs through forming line segments into letters and then letters into words. The temporal processes and utilized brain areas that engage in this process are widely thought to be left-lateralized within the…

'Baoguo Chen'] Language proficiency is predicted to modulate orthographic-semantic association in second language (L2) vocabulary acquisition, in accordance with the assumptions of the Developmental Bilingual Interactive-Activation model (BIA-d) ([16]). The current study explored this modulation during pre-attentive L2…

Letter processing plays a key role in visual word recognition. However, word recognition models typically overlook or greatly simplify early perceptual processes of letter recognition. We suggest that optimal transport theory may provide a computational framework for describing letter shape processing. We use…

Computational modelling has served as a powerful tool to advance our understanding of language processes by making theoretical ideas rigorously specified and testable (a form of “ open science” for theory building). In reading research, one of the most influential computational modelling frameworks is the triangle…

Skilled human readers can readily recognize written letters and letter strings. This domain of visual recognition, known as orthographic processing, is foundational to human reading, but it is unclear how it is supported by neural populations in the human brain. Behavioral research has shown that non-human primates…

Humans are known to continuously extract regularities from the flow of stimulation. This occurs in many facets of behavior, including reading. In spite of the ubiquitous evidence that readers become sensitive to orthographic regularities after very little exposure to print, the role of orthographic regularities…

Current cognitive models of reading assume that word recognition involves the ‘bottom-up’ assembly of perceived low-level visual features into letters, letter combinations, and words. This rather inefficient strategy, however, is incompatible with neurophysiological theories of Bayesian-like predictive neural…

Surveillance and surveying are two important applications of empirical research. A major part of terrain modelling is supported by photographic surveys which are used for capturing expansive natural surfaces using a wide range of sensorsvisual, infrared, ultrasonic, radio, etc. A natural surface is non-smooth…

'Charles A. Perfetti' 'Julie A. Fiez' 'Yafit Gabay'] Word identification is undeniably important for skilled reading and ultimately reading comprehension. Interestingly, both lexical and sublexical procedures can support word identification. Recent cross-linguistic comparisons have demonstrated that there are biases in…

Image-based 3D object modeling refers to the process of converting raw optical images to 3D digital representations of the objects. Very often, such models are desired to be dimensionally true, semantically labeled with photorealistic appearance (reality-based modeling). Laser scanning was deemed as the standard (and…

Planar ornaments, a.k.a. wallpapers, are regular repetitive patterns which exhibit translational symmetry in two independent directions. There are exactly 17 distinct planar symmetry groups. We present a fully automatic method for complete analysis of planar ornaments in 13 of these groups, specifically, the groups…
