Article Abstract

This paper presents a Task-Free eye-tracking dataset for Dynamic Point Clouds (TF-DPC) aimed at investigating visual attention. The dataset is composed of eye gaze and head movements collected from 24 participants observing 19 scanned dynamic point clouds in a Virtual Reality (VR) environment with 6 degrees of freedom. We compare the visual saliency maps generated from this dataset with those from a prior task-dependent experiment (focused on quality assessment) to explore how high-level tasks influence human visual attention. To measure the similarity between these visual saliency maps, we apply the well-known Pearson correlation coefficient and an adapted version of the Earth Mover's Distance metric, which takes into account both spatial information and the degrees of saliency. Our experimental results provide both qualitative and quantitative insights, revealing significant differences in visual attention due to task influence. This work enhances our understanding of the visual attention for dynamic point cloud (specifically human figures) in VR from gaze and human movement trajectories, and highlights the impact of task-dependent factors, offering valuable guidance for advancing visual saliency models and improving VR perception.

Cocaine use disorder (CUD) is characterized by cortico-striatal circuit dysregulation and high relapse rates, with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) emerging as a potential neuromodulatory intervention. This study investigates rTMS-induced dynamic brain network reconfigurations in 30 CUD patients using longitudinal resting-state fMRI from the SUDMEX-TMS cohort. Applying Leading Eigenvector Dynamics Analysis (LEiDA) to phase-locking states, we identified four metastable network configurations mapped to canonical resting-state networks.

Background: Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies examining emotional memory encoding often use event-related designs with stimuli in the form of words or pictures. Prior research has suggested differential hemispheric specialization for these stimulus types, yet no meta-analysis has directly compared the neural systems involved in each.

Methods: A meta-analysis was conducted using peer-reviewed, event-related fMRI studies.

The Effects of Multimodal Distractors on Sign-trackers and Goal-trackers Attention.

During Pavlovian conditioning, Sign-Tracker (ST), Goal-Tracker (GT), and Intermediate (IN) phenotypes emerge, as characterized by the degree to which an individual attributes incentive salience to reward-associated cues. These operationally defined phenotypes differ in other respects: In human studies, STs tend to favor bottom-up attention, while GTs tend to favor top-down attention. There is some limited evidence that rats exhibit similar patterns during Pavlovian conditioning.

At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the primary view of infant visual attention development focused on a transition across the first postnatal year from being stimulus-driven to goal-driven, reflecting a broader shift from subcortical to cortical control. This perspective was supported by decades of infant looking-time studies. However, our understanding of infant attention has significantly evolved over the past 25 years, shaped by both theoretical advancements and new technological and methodological tools.

Autonomous systems operating in high-dimensional environments increasingly rely on prioritization heuristics to allocate attention and assess risk, yet these mechanisms can introduce cognitive biases such as salience, spatial framing, and temporal familiarity that influence decision-making without altering the input or accessing internal states. This study presents Priority Inversion via Operational Reasoning (PRIOR), a black-box, non-perturbative diagnostic framework that employs structurally biased but semantically neutral scenario cues to probe inference-level vulnerabilities without modifying pixel-level, statistical, or surface semantic properties. Given the limited accessibility of embodied vision-based systems, we evaluate PRIOR using large language models (LLMs) as abstract reasoning proxies to simulate cognitive prioritization in constrained textual surveillance scenarios inspired by Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) operations.
