Emotion Elicitation: A Comparison of Pictures and Films
2016
Abstract Pictures and film clips are widely used and accepted stimuli to elicit emotions. Based on theoretical arguments it is often assumed that the emotional effects of films exceed those of pictures, but to date this assumption has not been investigated directly. The aim of the present study was to compare pictures and films in terms of their capacity to induce emotions verified by means of explicit measures. Stimuli were (a) single pictures presented for 6 s, (b) a set of three consecutive pictures with emotionally congruent contents presented for 2 s each, (c) short film clips with a duration of 6 s. A total of 144 participants rated their emotion and arousal states following stimulus …
High-resolution far-field integral-imaging camera by double snapshot
2012
In multi-view three-dimensional imaging, to capture the elemental images of distant objects, the use of a field-like lens that projects the reference plane onto the microlens array is necessary. In this case, the spatial resolution of reconstructed images is equal to the spatial density of microlenses in the array. In this paper we report a simple method, based on the realization of double snapshots, to double the 2D pixel density of reconstructed scenes. Experiments are reported to support the proposed approach.
Nozīmes veidošana attēlos: lingvistiskā un paralingvistiskā perspektīva
2021
Darba mērķis ir izpētīt, kā attēlu nozīmi iespējams interpretēt noteiktā kontekstā. Pētījums reaģē uz galējās interpretācijas problemātiku un ierosina skatīt Čārlza Pīrsa zīmju teoriju kā instrumentu, kas ļauj analizēt nozīmes radīšanas un interpretācijas procesualitāti noteiktas situācijas un kultūras kontekstā. Tiek pētīti četri atšķirīgi attēlu gadījumi (Hilma af Klinta, Sajs Tvomblijs, Gerhards Rihters un Vija Celmiņa), piemērojot mainīgos konteksta lielumus un Pīrsa zīmju klasifikācijas. Vijas Celmiņas intervijas fonētiskā un runātā diskursa analīze liecina, ka mākslinieces runātais teksts var attīstīt uztvērēja priekšzinās…
The big picture: effects of surround on immersion and size perception.
2014
Despite the fear of the entertainment industry that illegal downloads of films might ruin their business, going to the movies continues to be a popular leisure activity. One reason why people prefer to watch movies in cinemas may be the surround of the movie screen or its physically huge size. To disentangle the factors that might contribute to the size impression, we tested several measures of subjective size and immersion in different viewing environments. For this purpose we built a model cinema that provided visual angle information comparable with that of a real cinema. Subjects watched identical movie clips in a real cinema, a model cinema, and on a display monitor in isolation. Wher…

Discovering hidden brain network responses to naturalistic stimuli via tensor component analysis of multi-subject fMRI data
2021
The study of brain network interactions during naturalistic stimuli facilitates a deeper understanding of human brain function. To estimate large-scale brain networks evoked with naturalistic stimuli, a tensor component analysis (TCA) based framework was used to characterize shared spatio-temporal patterns across subjects in a purely data-driven manner. In this framework, a third-order tensor is constructed from the timeseries extracted from all brain regions from a given parcellation, for all participants, with modes of the tensor corresponding to spatial distribution, time series and participants. TCA then reveals spatially and temporally shared components, i.e., evoked networks with the …
Patient Safety Through the Analysis of «Grey’s Anatomy»; Season 6, Episode 6. I Saw What I Saw
2016
Patient safety constitutes a public health problem due to the repercussions that has in the care process and in the patients. The viewing of Grey’s Anatomy Episode “I saw what I saw” allows to value the importance of searching for the causes of an error and, at the same time, allows to detect commonplace situations (stress, organization, personal and ambient factors) that increase the possibility of errors in class. The process enables students to realize the importance not only of personal aspects, but of multiple possible causes of errors and the importance of health planning.
Adding symbolic information to picture models: definitions and properties
2005
AbstractIn the paper we propose extensions of some picture models, such as colored, drawn and pixel pictures. Such extensions are conceived by observing that a picture may embed more information than the shape, such as colors, labels, etc., which can be represented by a symbol from an alphabet and can be associated to segments, points or pixels. New interesting issues derived from the introduction of symbols will be investigated together with some complexity and decidability questions for the proposed extensions.
Sobre remakes ejemplares y charlotadas avant la lettre en el cine primitivo español
2016
En el ámbito del cine mudo español las películas del género cómico fueron tan numerosas como apreciadas por el público. Aunque la mayor parte de ellas no ha llegado hasta nosotros, en los archivos fílmicos españoles se conservan ejemplos que evidencian el ingenio y la pericia creadora de los cineastas autóctonos. Entre ellos merecen ser destacados El heredero de Casa Pruna y Benítez quiere ser torero. El primero fue dirigido por Segundo de Chomón en 1904 y pertenece al género de películas de persecución, de cuyos rasgos específicos resulta ser un modelo.Esa misma destreza fílmica caracteriza a Benítez quiere ser torero, una película de 1910, de mayor complejidad formal y narrativa, obra de …
Las culturas de la emigración española: reflejos audiovisuales de la clase obrera
2019
[spa] El objetivo del presente artículo es estudiar la representación de la emigración española hacia Europa, colocando el acento en su pertenencia a la clase obrera. Por ello, consideraremos films rodados en el contexto franquista, propuestas realizadas al margen de la industria o militantes, películas producidas por los países de acogida o audiovisuales dirigidos por personas que hayan vivido la experiencia de la emigración (primera y segunda generación). Todas estas distintas variables nos permitirán conocer y estudiar la complejidad que entraña abordar este tema y a su vez también analizaremos la relevancia que se concede en estos títulos a la condición obrera. Asimismo, valoraremos la …
