Object-based inhibition of return in three-dimensional space: From simple drawings to real objects.

ABSTRACT: Cued to an object in space, inhibition of the attended location can spread to the entire object. Although object-based inhibition of return (IOR) studies in a two-dimensional plane have been documented, the IOR has not been explored when objects cross depth in three-dimensional (3D) space. In the present study, we used a virtual reality technique to adapt the double-rectangle paradigm to a 3D space, and manipulated the cue validity and target location to examine the difference in object-based IOR between far and near spaces under different object representations. The study showed that the object-based IOR of simple drawings existed only in near space, whereas object-based IOR of real objects existed only in far space at first, and as the object similarity decreases, it appeared in both far and near spaces.

Real-world size of objects serves as an axis of object space.

Project description:Our mind can represent various objects from physical world in an abstract and complex high-dimensional object space, with axes encoding critical features to quickly and accurately recognize objects. Among object features identified in previous neurophysiological and fMRI studies that may serve as the axes, objects' real-world size is of particular interest because it provides not only visual information for broad conceptual distinctions between objects but also ecological information for objects' affordance. Here we use deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs), which enable direct manipulation of visual experience and units' activation, to explore how objects' real-world size is extracted to construct the axis of object space. Like the human brain, the DCNNs pre-trained for object recognition also encode objects' size as an independent axis of the object space. Further, we find that the shape of objects, rather than retinal size, context, task demands or texture features, is critical to inferring objects' size for both DCNNs and humans. In short, with DCNNs as a brain-like model, our study devises a paradigm supplemental to conventional approaches to explore the structure of object space, which provides computational support for empirical observations on human perceptual and neural representations of objects.

Noncontact orientation of objects in three-dimensional space using magnetic levitation.

Project description:This paper describes several noncontact methods of orienting objects in 3D space using Magnetic Levitation (MagLev). The methods use two permanent magnets arranged coaxially with like poles facing and a container containing a paramagnetic liquid in which the objects are suspended. Absent external forcing, objects levitating in the device adopt predictable static orientations; the orientation depends on the shape and distribution of mass within the objects. The orientation of objects of uniform density in the MagLev device shows a sharp geometry-dependent transition: an analytical theory rationalizes this transition and predicts the orientation of objects in the MagLev device. Manipulation of the orientation of the levitating objects in space is achieved in two ways: (i) by rotating and/or translating the MagLev device while the objects are suspended in the paramagnetic solution between the magnets; (ii) by moving a small external magnet close to the levitating objects while keeping the device stationary. Unlike mechanical agitation or robotic selection, orienting using MagLev is possible for objects having a range of different physical characteristics (e.g., different shapes, sizes, and mechanical properties from hard polymers to gels and fluids). MagLev thus has the potential to be useful for sorting and positioning components in 3D space, orienting objects for assembly, constructing noncontact devices, and assembling objects composed of soft materials such as hydrogels, elastomers, and jammed granular media.

Real-Space Observations of Three-Dimensional Antiskyrmions and Skyrmion Strings.

Project description:Nanometric topological spin textures, such as skyrmions (Sks) and antiskyrmions (antiSks), have attracted much attention recently. However, most studies have focused on two-dimensional spin textures in films with inherent or synthetic antisymmetric spin-exchange interaction, termed Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, although three-dimensional (3D) topological spin textures, such as antiSks composed of alternating Bloch- and Néel-type spin spirals, chiral bobbers carrying emergent magnetic monopoles, and deformed Sk strings, are ubiquitous. To elucidate these textures, we have developed a 3D nanometric magnetic imaging technique, tomographic Lorentz transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The approach enables the visualization of the 3D shape of magnetic objects and their 3D vector field mapping. Here we report 3D vector field maps of deformed Sk-strings and antiSk using the technique. This research approach will lead to discoveries and understanding of fertile 3D magnetic structures in a broad class of magnets, providing insight into 3D topological magnetism.

The color constancy of three-dimensional objects.

Project description:Human color constancy has been studied for over 100 years, and there is extensive experimental data for the case where a spatially diffuse light source illuminates a set of flat matte surfaces. In natural viewing, however, three-dimensional objects are viewed in three-dimensional scenes. Little is known about color constancy for three-dimensional objects. We used a forced-choice task to measure the achromatic chromaticity of matte disks, matte spheres, and glossy spheres. In all cases, the test stimuli were viewed in the context of stereoscopically viewed graphics simulations of three-dimensional scenes, and we varied the scene illuminant. We studied conditions both where all cues were consistent with the simulated illuminant change (consistent-cue conditions) and where local contrast was silenced as a cue (reduced-cue conditions). We computed constancy indices from the achromatic chromaticities. To first order, constancy was similar for the three test object types. There was, however, a reliable interaction between test object type and cue condition. In the consistent-cue conditions, constancy tended to be best for the matte disks, while in the reduced-cue conditions constancy was best for the spheres. The presence of this interaction presents an important challenge for theorists who seek to generalize models that account for constancy for flat tests to the more general case of three-dimensional objects.

Drawings of real-world scenes during free recall reveal detailed object and spatial information in memory.

Project description:Understanding the content of memory is essential to teasing apart its underlying mechanisms. While recognition tests have commonly been used to probe memory, it is difficult to establish what specific content is driving performance. Here, we instead focus on free recall of real-world scenes, and quantify the content of memory using a drawing task. Participants studied 30 scenes and, after a distractor task, drew as many images in as much detail as possible from memory. The resulting memory-based drawings were scored by thousands of online observers, revealing numerous objects, few memory intrusions, and precise spatial information. Further, we find that visual saliency and meaning maps can explain aspects of memory performance and observe no relationship between recall and recognition for individual images. Our findings show that not only is it possible to quantify the content of memory during free recall, but those memories contain detailed representations of our visual experiences.

Task-specific engagement of object-based and space-based attention with spatiotemporally defined objects.

Project description:We used a form of ambiguous apparent motion known as Ternus motion to isolate the effects of object-based and space-based attention, and to explore functional differences between them. Two frames of horizontally aligned disks that were shifted by one position between frames were temporally separated by either a short or a long inter-stimulus interval (ISI). Short ISI displays were perceived as element motion where one disk appeared to jump across the other two. Long ISI displays were perceived as group motion where all three disks appeared to move together. Because element and group motion imply mutually exclusive object structures, adding stimuli (e.g., a small gap) to one disk in each frame created conditions of orthogonal object and location status (same or different), depending on ISI. We used two tasks with different functional demands, an identification task (Experiments 1 and 3a) in which observers responded to a single attribute of the final stimulus, and a comparison task (Experiments 2 and 3b) in which observers compared two attributes across two stimuli. Reliable object-specific effects occurred only with the comparison task, whereas location-specific effects occurred with both tasks. These results confirm that attention can be directed to objects separately from spatial locations and vice versa, and, moreover, that object-based and space-based attention are engaged differently depending on the processing demands of the task.

Predicting precision grip grasp locations on three-dimensional objects.

Project description:We rarely experience difficulty picking up objects, yet of all potential contact points on the surface, only a small proportion yield effective grasps. Here, we present extensive behavioral data alongside a normative model that correctly predicts human precision grasping of unfamiliar 3D objects. We tracked participants' forefinger and thumb as they picked up objects of 10 wood and brass cubes configured to tease apart effects of shape, weight, orientation, and mass distribution. Grasps were highly systematic and consistent across repetitions and participants. We employed these data to construct a model which combines five cost functions related to force closure, torque, natural grasp axis, grasp aperture, and visibility. Even without free parameters, the model predicts individual grasps almost as well as different individuals predict one another's, but fitting weights reveals the relative importance of the different constraints. The model also accurately predicts human grasps on novel 3D-printed objects with more naturalistic geometries and is robust to perturbations in its key parameters. Together, the findings provide a unified account of how we successfully grasp objects of different 3D shape, orientation, mass, and mass distribution.

Photographs of manipulable objects are named more quickly than the same objects depicted as line-drawings: Evidence that photographs engage embodiment more than line-drawings.

Project description:Previous research has shown that photographs of manipulable objects (i.e., those that can be grasped for use with one hand) are named more quickly than non-manipulable objects when they have been matched for object familiarity and age of acquisition. The current study tested the hypothesis that the amount of visual detail present in object depictions moderates these "manipulability" effects on object naming. The same objects were presented as photographs and line-drawings during a speeded naming task. Forty-six participants named 222 objects depicted in both formats. A significant object depiction (photographs versus line drawing) by manipulability interaction confirmed our hypothesis that manipulable objects are identified more quickly when shown as photographs; whereas, non-manipulable objects are identified equally quickly when shown as photographs versus line-drawings. These results indicate that factors such as surface detail and texture moderate the role of "action" and/or "manipulability" effects during object identification tasks, and suggest that photographs of manipulable objects are associated with more embodied representations of those objects than when they are depicted as line-drawings.

Disrupted object-scene semantics boost scene recall but diminish object recall in drawings from memory.

Project description:Humans are highly sensitive to the statistical relationships between features and objects within visual scenes. Inconsistent objects within scenes (e.g., a mailbox in a bedroom) instantly jump out to us and are known to catch our attention. However, it is debated whether such semantic inconsistencies result in boosted memory for the scene, impaired memory, or have no influence on memory. Here, we examined the relationship of scene-object consistencies on memory representations measured through drawings made during recall. Participants (N = 30) were eye-tracked while studying 12 real-world scene images with an added object that was either semantically consistent or inconsistent. After a 6-minute distractor task, they drew the scenes from memory while pen movements were tracked electronically. Online scorers (N = 1,725) rated each drawing for diagnosticity, object detail, spatial detail, and memory errors. Inconsistent scenes were recalled more frequently, but contained less object detail. Further, inconsistent objects elicited more errors reflecting looser memory binding (e.g., migration across images). These results point to a dual effect in memory of boosted global (scene) but diminished local (object) information. Finally, we observed that participants fixate longest on inconsistent objects, but these fixations during study were not correlated with recall performance, time, or drawing order. In sum, these results show a nuanced effect of scene inconsistencies on memory detail during recall.
