Since Kepler and Descartes in the early-1600s, vision science has been committed to a triangulation model of stereo vision. But in the early-1800s, we realized that disparities are responsible for stereo vision. And we have spent the past 200 years trying to shoe-horn disparities back into the triangulation account.…

Perception” Authors: ['H. A. Sedgwick'] J. J. Gibson's ground theory of space perception is contrasted with Descartes’ theory, which reduces all of space perception to the perception of distance and angular direction, relative to an abstract viewpoint. Instead, Gibson posits an embodied perceiver, grounded by gravity…

Since 56 and 19, it’s been suggested that ‘vergence’ (the angular rotation of the eyes) plays a key role in size constancy. However, this has never been tested divorced from confounding cues such as changes in the retinal image. In our experiment participants viewed a target which grew or shrank over 5 seconds. At the…

The visual system is supposed to extract distance information from the environment in order to scale the size and distance of objects in the visual scene. The purpose of this article is to challenge this account in three stages: First, I identify three shortcomings of the literature on vergence as our primary cue to…

We can easily perceive the spatial scale depicted in a picture, regardless of whether it is a small space (e.g., a close-up view of a chair) or a much larger space (e.g., an entire class room). How does the human visual system encode this continuous dimension? Here, we investigated the underlying neural coding of…

'M. Z. Zhang' 'Ruolin Wang' 'Yuanchun Shi'] Spatial perception, particularly at small and medium scales, is an essential human sense but poses a significant challenge for the blind and visually impaired (BVI). Traditional learning methods for BVI individuals are often constrained by the limited availability of suitable…

Space-related processing recruits a network of brain regions separate from those recruited in object-related processing. This dissociation has largely been explored by contrasting views of navigable-scale spaces compared to close-up views of isolated objects. However, in naturalistic visual experience, we encounter…

The present study examined whether scaling direction and perceptual modality affect children’s spatial scaling. Children aged 6-8 years (N = 201) were assigned to a visual, visuo-haptic, and haptic condition in which they were presented with colourful, embossed graphics. In the haptic condition, they were asked to wear…

The primate visual system is comprised of multiple visual areas. Despite their foundational relevance, there are no normative accounts for why there are multiple areas nor why they have their signature “mirrored map” topography. Here I show that the stereotyped cortical organization of multiple mirrored areas naturally…

'Michael Sedlmair' 'Daniel Weiskopf'] Abstract—We introduce a conceptual model for scalability designed for visualization research. With this model, we systematically analyze over 120 visualization publications from 1990 to 2020 to characterize the different notions of scalability in these works. While many papers have…

Many visual representations, such as volume-rendered images and metro maps, feature a noticeable amount of information loss due to a variety of many-to-one mappings. At a glance, there seem to be numerous opportunities for viewers to misinterpret the data being visualized, hence, undermining the benefits of these…

The current study tested strategies of spatial scaling in the haptic domain. Blindfolded adults (N = 31, aged 20-24 years) were presented with an embossed graphic including a target and asked to encode a target location on this map, imagine this map at a given scale, and to localize a target at the same spot on an…

A cloneable NanoParticle (cNP) is an inorganic nanoparticle that is synthesized by a protein. The protein determines the elemental composition, size, morphology, and other properties of the nanoparticle. Here, we describe the use of a cloneable Selenium NanoParticle (cSeNP) as a cloneable imaging contrast agent in…

Nonlinear monotonically increasing bounded functions help to visualize and analyze data on various scales. However, many monotonic functions such as logarithm or power laws have either function values or derivatives that become unbounded at some regions of the $x-$ axis. On the other hand, sigmoid or hyperbolic…

Molecular property prediction is a fundamental task in computational chemistry with critical applications in drug discovery and materials science. While recent works have explored Large Language Models (LLMs) for this task, they primarily rely on textual molecular representations such as SMILES/SELFIES, which can be…

We present a case study in the use of machine+human mixed intelligence for visualization quality assessment, applying automated visualization quality metrics to support the human assessment of data visualizations produced as coursework by students taking higher education courses. A set of image informatics algorithms…

Measurement is an integral part of modern science, providing the fundamental means for evaluation, comparison, and prediction. In the context of visualization, several different types of measures have been proposed, ranging from approaches that evaluate particular aspects of individual visualization techniques, their…

The reemergence of virtual reality (VR) in the last few years has led to affordable commodity hardware that can offer new ways to teach, communicate and engage with difficult concepts, especially those which involve complicated 3D motion and spatial manipulation. In a higher education context, these immersive…

Colorimetric lateral flow immunoassays (LFIA) have revolutionized point-of-care testing (POCT) methods by providing simple, rapid, accessible, and instrumentation-free detection of infectious diseases. However, conventional LFIAs relying on gold nanospheres (GNPs) can suffer from limited sensitivity due to weak…

Visualizing chemical spaces streamlines the analysis of molecular datasets by reducing the information to human perception level, hence it forms an integral piece of molecular engineering, including chemical library design, high-throughput screening, diversity analysis, and outlier detection. We present here ChemPlot…

Science and art have been connected for centuries. With the development of new computational methods, new scientific disciplines have emerged, such as computational chemistry, and related fields, such as chemoinformatics that use informatic methods to solve chemical problems focusing on small molecules.…
