Thus, a deeper understanding of how humans are able to interpret human (inter)actions lies at the core of building better artificial cognitive systems. Here, we present results from a first series of perceptual experiments that show how humans are able to infer scenario classes, as well as individual actions and objects from computer animations of everyday situations. The animations were created from a unique corpus of real-life recordings made in the European project POETICON using motion-capture technology and advanced VR programming that allowed for full control over all aspects of the finally rendered data. http://www.kyb.tuebingen.mpg.defileadmin/user_upload/files/publications/2011/JVRC-2010-Wallraven.pdf http://www.kyb.tuebingen.mpg.de http://www.kyb.tuebingen.mpg.de Department Bülthoff http://www.interaction-design.org/references/conferences/proceedings_of_the_joint_virtual_reality_conference_of_egve_-_eurovr_-_vec.html Stuttgart, Germany 2010 Joint Virtual Reality Conference of EuroVR - EGVE - VEC (JVRC 2010) walliCWallraven mschultzeMSchultze mohlerBMohler evolkEVolkova ivelinaIAlexandrova vatakisAVatakis KPastra conference 6551 The multisensory perception of synchrony Perception 2009 8 38 ECVP Abstract Supplement 113 The last few years have seen a rapid growth of interest in issues related to the temporal aspects of multisensory perception. We will highlight recent research that has investigated people's sensitivity to temporal asynchrony for both simple (eg, beeps, flashes, punctuate touch, laser pain) and more complex stimuli (eg, speech, music, object action video clips) using both simultaneity and temporal order judgment tasks. We will review some of the latest findings to have emerged from our laboratory looking at how the brain responds (ie, adapts) to various kinds of on-going asynchronous stimulation (again using both simple and complex stimuli). Recent findings demonstrating the effect of the "unity effect" on multisensory temporal perception will be outlined, as will research showing that synesthetic correspondences can modulate multisensory integration (both temporal and spatial) in normal participants. http://www.kyb.tuebingen.mpg.de http://www.kyb.tuebingen.mpg.de http://www.kyb.tuebingen.mpg.de Abstract Talk http://www.perceptionweb.com/abstract.cgi?id=v091064 Biologische Kybernetik Max-Planck-Gesellschaft Regensburg, Germany 32nd European Conference on Visual Perception en CJSpence JNavarra vatakisAVatakis jhartcherJHartcher-O'Brien cesareCVParise
