Teachers' visual focus of attention in relation to students' basic academic skills and teachers' individual support for students: An eye-tracking stu…
2022
This study investigated how teachers' visual focus of attention is associated with students' basic academic skills and teachers' individual support for students in basic academic skills in authentic classroom settings. Teachers' (N = 46) visual focus of attention in the classroom was measured with mobile eye-tracking, and students' (N = 879) literacy and math skills were tested in Grade 1. The results revealed that teachers' visual focus of attention in terms of fixation counts correlated with students' basic academic skills and teachers' individual support for students in literacy and math. Two case studies showed that teachers' visual focus of attention varied among students with differen…
Introduzione ad Arte : Artworks, mimesis, agency
2021
Il volume raccoglie alcune delle relazioni tenute all’interno del ciclo di seminari Antropologia dell’arte, organizzato nel 2019 dall’Associazione per la conservazione delle tradizioni popolari in collaborazione con l’Accademia di Belle Arti di Palermo e curato da Rosario Perricone. Il seminario comprendeva diversi incontri durante i quali studiosi di diversi ambiti disciplinari hanno dibattuto su concetti, nozioni e oggetti che si pongono al crocevia tra le discipline dell’antropologia, della storia dell’arte, della semiotica, degli studi culturali, della visual culture, delineando talvolta fenomeni di ibridazione delle pratiche artistiche ed etnografiche e, talvolta, di dissolvenza delle …
La tipografía en el cine: : análisis de cabeceras y créditos de películas como estrategia educativa desde la cultura visual
2013
En el presente artículo se recogen un conjunto de relexiones sobre papel que adquieren los textos escritos utilizados como imágenes en el discurso cinematográico. Las letras del alfabeto han estado íntimamente unidas a la tradición del cine desde sus inicios. Esta atracción mutua que ha existido siempre entre el alfabeto y el cine ha generado un extraordinario legado que podemos analizar mediante los postulados de la cultura visual. Sugerimos la oportunidad de utilizar este elemento visual para solventar algunos errores, empobrecimientos, insuiciencias y déicits que pueden observarse en buena parte de los rituales educativos convencionales, ya que las letras como signos son artefactos visua…
Modelling of the Universe : Simulation of the GPS (The Global Positioning System)
2007
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2007 – Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad ParAbel is a project at Agder University College aims at mathematics and physics on Internet. One of the sub projects named SimReal [2] (Simulation in ‘Realfag’), which currently aims at simulating behaviours and properties of universe for both mathematics and physics studying. This project focuses on simulation of the GPS which is one sub task in SimReal. In this paper, on the one hand, we will set up a GPS simulation model and use it to be a teaching material for learning mathematics and physics. On the other hand, by testing the simulation model among the college students, we will discuss about th…
Fish assemblages cope with ocean acidification in a shallow volcanic CO2 vent benefiting from an adjacent recovery area
2020
Shallow CO2 vents are used to test ecological hypotheses about the effects of ocean acidification (OA). Here, we studied fish assemblages associated with Cymodocea nodosa meadows exposed to high pCO2/low pH conditions at a natural CO2 vent in the Mediterranean Sea. Using underwater visual census, we assessed fish community structure and biodiversity in a low pH site (close to the CO2 vent), a close control site and a far control site, hypothesising a decline in biodiversity and a homogenization of fish assemblages under OA conditions. Our findings revealed that fish diversity did not show a unique spatial pattern, or even significant relationships with pH, but correlated with seagrass leaf …
Prismatic lenses shift time perception
2009
Previous studies have demonstrated the involvement of spatial codes in the representation of time and numbers. We took advantage of a well-known spatial modulation (prismatic adaptation) to test the hypothesis that the representation of time is spatially oriented from left to right, with smaller time intervals being represented to the left of larger time intervals. Healthy subjects performed a time-reproduction task and a time-bisection task, before and after leftward and rightward prismatic adaptation. Results showed that prismatic adaptation inducing a rightward orientation of spatial attention produced an overestimation of time intervals, whereas prismatic adaptation inducing a leftward…
Temporal Structure of Human Gaze Dynamics Is Invariant During Free Viewing.
2015
We investigate the dynamic structure of human gaze and present an experimental study of the frequency components of the change in gaze position over time during free viewing of computer-generated fractal images. We show that changes in gaze position are scale-invariant in time with statistical properties that are characteristic of a random walk process. We quantify and track changes in the temporal structure using a well-defined scaling parameter called the Hurst exponent, H. We find H is robust regardless of the spatial complexity generated by the fractal images. In addition, we find the Hurst exponent is invariant across all participants, including those with distinct changes to higher or…
Abnormal peripheral and central visual processing in migraine
2018
Sound induced flash illusion (SIFI) is an illusory cross modal (audio-visual) phenomenon critically dependent upon excitability of visual cortex. A recent study with SIFI confirmed hyperexcitability of visual cortex in migraine; patients with migraine show abnormality of chromatic perception. Here we explored the relationship between peripheral chromatic and central visual dysfunction in patients with migraine

L'oralità dell'immagine. Etnografia visiva nelle comunità rurali siciliane
2018
L’opposizione ipotizzata fra tradizioni orali e scritte, che prevale in antropologia, è ingannevole: in primis perché tende ad annullare l’orale nel contrario dello scritto, e non ne comprende il modo di funzionare specifico; in secondo luogo perché non contempla la possibilità che, tra gli estremi dell’orale puro e dello scritto puro, esistano molte situazioni intermedie. Paradossalmente oggi, nella nostra società così impregnata di immagini, l’oralità è ritornata ad assumere un ruolo centrale proprio per la produzione e la comprensione del codice visivo. Questa «oralità dell’immagine» è connaturata nei nostri comportamenti quotidiani e per questo motivo risulta difficile individuarla e an…
