There are two main characteristics of visual information processing when viewing an image by scrolling on a small screen: viewing the image sequentially, section by section, owing to the limited visible area, and moving the image to view the desired section of the image. In this study, we investigated the effects of these characteristics on the encoding of object location. The participants were required to observe an image containing 10 objects under three viewing conditions without a time limit and to recall the location of the target object. The viewing conditions were a scrolling condition, a moving-window condition in which a fixed image was viewed by moving the window, and a no-window condition in which the entire image was viewed without a window. The results showed that although the recall accuracy did not differ among the conditions, the observation time increased in the order of scrolling, moving-window, and no-window conditions. These results indicate that in a scrolling view, the object location can be encoded with the same accuracy as that in a full view; however, more time is required for encoding. This finding suggests that viewing the image sequentially and moving the image degrade the encoding of object location.

Humans can estimate the time and position of a moving object's arrival. However, numerous studies have demonstrated superior position estimation accuracy for descending objects compared with ascending objects. We tested whether the accuracy of position estimation for ascending and descending objects differs between the upper and lower visual fields.

Words before pictures: the role of language in biasing visual attention.

Background: The present study investigated whether semantic processing of word and object primes can bias visual attention using top-down influences, even within an exogenous cueing framework. We hypothesized that real words and familiar objects would more effectively bias attentional engagement and target detection than pseudowords or pseudo-objects, as they can trigger prior knowledge to influence attention orienting and target detection.

Methods: To examine this, we conducted two web-based eye-tracking experiments that ensured participants maintained central fixation on the screen during remote data collection.

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are microsecond-to-millisecond-duration radio transients that originate mostly from extragalactic distances. The FRB emission mechanism remains debated, with two main competing classes of models: physical processes that occur within close proximity to a central engine; and relativistic shocks that propagate out to large radial distances. The expected emission-region sizes are notably different between these two types of models.

Binding, a critical cognitive process likely mediated by attention, is essential for creating coherent object representations within a scene. This process is vulnerable in individuals with dementia, who exhibit deficits in visual working memory (VWM) binding, primarily tested using abstract arrays of standalone objects. To explore how binding operates in more realistic settings across the lifespan, we examined the impact of object saliency and semantic consistency on VWM binding and the role of overt attention.

3D printing is an indispensable technology in modern life and is widely used in aerospace, exoskeleton, and architecture. The increasing accuracy requirements of 3D printed objects in these fields require high-precision measurement methods to obtain accurate data. Based on the precision measurement requirements, in this study, a fast multifrequency phase unwrapping method based on 3D printing object appearance acquisition is proposed.
