Percepción visual y traducción audiovisual: la mirada dirigida
2012
En este trabajo, partimos de la premisa de que las destrezas perceptuales innatas necesarias para entender una obra audiovisual son idénticas a las de la percepción visual natural (Grodal 1999: 76). La percepción es una forma inconsciente y natural de interpretar nuestro entorno gracias a la experiencia previa y al aprendizaje. Sostenemos, en contra de la creencia profundamente arraigada en Occidente de que la imagen es universal y verdadera, que la percepción visual es un proceso cognitivo determinado por la experiencia previa, el ambiente, el contexto, los valores culturales y la motivación. En este trabajo vamos a estudiar la aplicación de las investigaciones cognitivas sobre percepción …
Hemispheric differences in specificity effects in talker identification
2010
In the visual domain, Marsolek and colleagues (1999, 2008) have found support for two dissociable and parallel neural subsystems underlying object and shape recognition: an abstract-category subsystem that operates more effectively in the left cerebral hemisphere (LH), and a specific-exemplar subsystem that operates more effectively in the right cerebral hemisphere (RH). Evidence of this asymmetry has been observed in priming specificity for linguistic (words, pseudoword forms) and nonlinguistic (objects) stimuli. In the auditory domain, the authors previously found hemispheric asymmetries in priming effects for linguistic (spoken words) and nonlinguistic (environmental sounds) stimuli. In …
Numerical and experimental study of liquid metal stirring by rotating permanent magnets
2018
In this work, we study liquid gallium stirring by rotating permanent magnets. We demonstrate possibility of easily creating different flow patterns by rotating permanent magnets, which can be industrially important for controlling heat and mass transfer processes in the system. Unlike the typical approach of simulating magnet rotation as a transient problem and time-averaging the Lorentz forces, we solve the magnet rotation as a harmonic (frequency domain) problem, which leads to forces equal to time-averaged ones and decreases the simulation time considerably. Numerical results are validated using qualitative flow structure results from the neutron radiography visualization of tracer parti…
Ekphrastic Representations of Angels within Anglo-Irish Literature in Textus
2008
The articles considers some ekphrastic representations within Anglo-Irish Literature.In particular, the author examines the ways in which visual arts are employed, exploited, considered for a renewed personal and literary representation of the religious experience.
Representation of Latvian Mithology in works of Hilda Vika
2013
The paper includes the study on activities of the Latvian painter and writer Hilda Vika - Eglīte (1897-1963) in the field of visual art (mostly painting) connected with Latvian mythology. Latvian myth characters and themes came into H. Vika’s creative work after 1930 when she married writer and reviewer Viktors Eglitis and resorted to “Dievturība” (Latvian Neopagan religious movement based on folklore, old folk songs and mythology). Actively and productively working H. Vika participated in numerous group art exhibitions. Her individual vision, decorative solutions of composition and stylized details brought in Latvian painting unusual and essentially different intonations being contemporary…
Visual Representa of a Woman in the Semiotic Landscape of the Baltic States
2014
Linguistic landscape (LL) research of nine cities of the Baltic States shows that feminine discourse is of an essential significance in the public space. This is linguistically proved by feminine person’s names in ergonyms, also by female ergonyms and graffiti themes. However, there are multi-modal advertisements reflecting women and female items in the public space, and they are to be viewed from the perspective of the semiotic landscape. There are 294 photos reflecting a woman excerpted from the LL data base to describe visual images of a woman, focusing on the archetypes and concepts on woman’s role in society. There is a semiotic landscape research method, perception of a visual identit…
Collaborative VR for Liver Surgery Planning using Wearable Data Gloves: An Interactive Demonstration
2021
Preoperative planning for liver surgery is a critical procedure to assess a potential resection and it supports surgeons to define the affected vessels and resection volume. Traditional surgical planning systems are widely used to support the planning with the usage of desktop-based 3D and 2D visualizations. However, desktop-based systems offer limited interactions and visualizations compared to virtual reality (VR) [3]. A suitable technique to support collaboration among surgeons is required. Our previous works [1], [2] illustrate that using collaborative VR is essential to enhance communication, teamwork, and over-distance collaboration. In this work, we present a collaborative VR prototy…
Lladró: análisis de la creación cultural de una estética : de la tradición industrial de la cerámica valenciana a la recepción social de una marca
2012
La investigación profundiza en las relaciones que una empresa, marca de carácter y repercusión internacional como la fábrica de porcelanas Lladró, pero profundamente anclada en la propia cultura local valenciana, establece respecto a conceptos tan controvertidos como su papel a medio camino entre un objeto industrial entendido éste como modelo de producción en serie, artesano y artístico, las complejas relaciones que establece respecto a su valor como arte o su vinculación al mundo del kitsch, y de que forma este concepto puede ser revisado, a través precisamente, de las propias producciones estéticas de Lladró. También, de qué modo se articula todo ello en el marco de nuestra propia cultur…
Shift- and scale-invariant recognition of contour objects with logarithmic radial harmonic filters.
2008
The phase-only logarithmic radial harmonic (LRH) filter has been shown to be suitable for scale-invariant block object recognition. However, an important set of objects is the collection of contour functions that results from a digital edge extraction of the original block objects. These contour functions have a constant width that is independent of the scale of the original object. Therefore, since the energy of the contour objects decreases more slowly with the scale factor than does the energy of the block objects, the phase-only LRH filter has difficulties in the recognition tasks when these contour objects are used. We propose a modified LRH filter that permits the realization of a shi…
Rethinking of the Heuristic-Analytic Dual Process Theory: A Comment on Wada and Nittono (2004) and the Reasoning Process in the Wason Selection Task
2005
This paper raises some methodological problems in the dual process explanation provided by Wada and Nittono for their 2004 results using the Wason selection task. We maintain that the Nittono rethinking approach is weak and that it should be refined to grasp better the evidence of analytic processes.
