▪ Abstract It has long been assumed that sensory neurons are adapted, through both
evolutionary and developmental processes, to the statistical properties of the signals to …

Image quality assessment (IQA) has been a topic of intense research over the last several
decades. With each year comes an increasing number of new IQA algorithms, extensions of …

This paper presents ClusterFormer, a universal vision model that is based on the Clustering
paradigm with TransFormer. It comprises two novel designs: 1) recurrent cross-attention …

The article describes a conceptual model proposing that aggression in psychiatric facilities
may be reduced by designing the physical environment with ten evidence-grounded stress …

We perceive the shapes and material properties of objects quickly and reliably despite the
complexity and objective ambiguities of natural images. Typical images are highly complex …

In this work, I propose a model of visual aesthetic experience that combines formalist and
contextual aspects of aesthetics. The model distinguishes between two modes of …

We examined contrast sensitivity and suprathreshold apparent contrast with natural images.
The spatial-frequency components within single octaves of the images were removed (notch …

Efficient data compression is essential for capacity-limited systems, such as biological
perception and perceptual memory. We hypothesize that the need for efficient compression …

Both natural scenes and visual art are often perceived as esthetically pleasing. It is therefore
conceivable that the two types of visual stimuli share statistical properties. For example …

Images with excessive energy at medium spatial frequencies (Fernandez and Wilkins, 2008
Perception 37 1098–1113), or that have high color contrast and little or no luminance …
