Mapping Visual Attention Change Blindness

项目摘要

Consider the variety of visual scenes that one might encounter over the course of a typical day, and the different ways that visual attention can be allocated from one scene to the next. From searching for keys to shopping for groceries to mingling at a party, attention must be spread over and across the objects in a person's visual environment. The distribution of visual attention is a key component of the perceptual and behavioral functions that have evolved to endow human behavior with its remarkable flexibility and adaptivity. Cognitive scientists have been studying the allocation of attention for many years, but the large majority of these studies have used relatively limited measures of attention, mostly in the context of simple, two-dimensional visual stimuli.With support of the National Science Foundation, Dr. Tse will develop a new method of measuring the distribution of attention, in all three dimensions of space. This new method takes advantage of the well-established finding that, while global changes are occurring in visual scence (like the lights in a room flickering on and off), a person can detect only local changes that are being attended to (like the movement of a talker's lips). Dr. Tse has developed a way to use local change detection as a means of mapping out the allocation of attention across complex, realistic visual objects and scenes. Such "attentional maps" will provide a rich source of data for testing theories of the functional and neural bases of visual attention.

考虑一个典型的一天中可能遇到的各种视觉场景，以及可以从一个场景到另一个场景分配视觉关注的不同方式。从寻找钥匙到购物杂货再到聚会上的混合，必须在人的视觉环境中分布在物体上和跨越对象。视觉注意力的分布是感知和行为函数的关键组成部分，这些函数已演变为赋予人类行为具有显着的灵活性和适应性。认知科学家多年来一直在研究关注的分配，但是这些研究中的绝大多数都使用了相对有限的关注度量，主要是在简单的二维视觉刺激的背景下。在国家科学基金会的支持下，TSE博士将开发一种新的方法来衡量注意力分布，在所有三个方面的空间中。这种新方法利用了一个公认的发现，尽管全球变化在视觉距离中发生了（例如房间中的灯光闪烁和关闭），但一个人只能检测到正在参与的本地变化（例如说话者嘴唇的运动）。 TSE博士开发了一种使用局部变更检测的方法，以绘制跨复杂，现实的视觉对象和场景的关注分配。这种“注意地图”将提供丰富的数据来源，用于测试视觉注意力的功能和神经碱基的理论。
