Décoder la localisation de l'attention visuelle spatiale grâce au signal EEGThiery, Thomas 09 1900 (has links)
L’attention visuo-spatiale peut être déployée à différentes localisations dans l’espace indépendamment de la direction du regard, et des études ont montré que les composantes des potentiels reliés aux évènements (PRE) peuvent être un index fiable pour déterminer si celle-ci est déployée dans le champ visuel droit ou gauche. Cependant, la littérature ne permet pas d’affirmer qu’il soit possible d’obtenir une localisation spatiale plus précise du faisceau attentionnel en se basant sur le signal EEG lors d’une fixation centrale. Dans cette étude, nous avons utilisé une tâche d’indiçage de Posner modifiée pour déterminer la précision avec laquelle l’information contenue dans le signal EEG peut nous permettre de suivre l’attention visuelle spatiale endogène lors de séquences de stimulation d’une durée de 200 ms. Nous avons utilisé une machine à vecteur de support (MVS) et une validation croisée pour évaluer la précision du décodage, soit le pourcentage de prédictions correctes sur la localisation spatiale connue de l’attention. Nous verrons que les attributs basés sur les PREs montrent une précision de décodage de la localisation du focus attentionnel significative (57%, p<0.001, niveau de chance à 25%). Les réponses PREs ont également prédit avec succès si l’attention était présente ou non à une localisation particulière, avec une précision de décodage de 79% (p<0.001). Ces résultats seront discutés en termes de leurs implications pour le décodage de l’attention visuelle spatiale, et des directions futures pour la recherche seront proposées. / Visuospatial attention can be deployed to different locations in space independently of ocular fixation, and studies have shown that event-related potential (ERP) components can effectively index whether such covert visuospatial attention is deployed to the left or right visual field. However, it is not clear whether we may obtain a more precise spatial localization of the focus of attention based on the EEG signals during central fixation. In this study, we used a modified Posner cueing task with an endogenous cue to determine the degree to which information in the EEG signal can be used to track visual spatial attention in presentation sequences lasting 200 ms. We used a machine learning classification method to evaluate how well EEG signals discriminate between four different locations of the focus of attention. We then used a multi-class support vector machine (SVM) and a leave-one-out cross-validation framework to evaluate the decoding accuracy (DA). We found that ERP-based features from occipital and parietal regions showed a statistically significant valid prediction of the location of the focus of visuospatial attention (DA = 57%, p < .001, chance-level 25%). The mean distance between the predicted and the true focus of attention was 0.62 letter positions, which represented a mean error of 0.55 degrees of visual angle. In addition, ERP responses also successfully predicted whether spatial attention was allocated or not to a given location with an accuracy of 79% (p < .001). These findings are discussed in terms of their implications for visuospatial attention decoding and future paths for research are proposed.

互動感知體驗設計之健康照護提醒裝置 / Interactive sensory and emotional design - health care reminder陳信慈, Chen, Shin Tsz Unknown Date (has links)
本研究旨在發展一套互動感知的機制,目的為期望能透過此互動方式,針對長期潛藏著危害健康甚深的「久坐族」,提供一個溫和柔性的「提醒」功能,符合不受「空間的限制」、「設定的限制」、「使用族群的限制」等,亦即凡是因為某些因素導致忽略或是忘記時間而「坐太久」的情形,此類的人便是被提醒的對象。
透過受測者的使用與建議進行分析評估,此互動機制透過分析與歸納,試圖找出區別於坊間常見的提醒模式,如一般人常用的鬧鐘、計時器等硬體,或專為電腦久坐族而設計的電腦健康動畫定時播放軟體等。這類相關的產品不外乎必須受制於人本身要去「記憶」且「手動」去調整、設定、下載、安裝等繁複的過程;另外是提醒的方法和內容瑣碎、不便或是不足,最大的共通限制為「使用時機與空間限制」。因此,本研究中的互動機制預期能提供「久坐族」另一種新鮮的選擇,一種力求「溫馨提醒」、「不受限時空」的互動模式。
為傳達前述的「健康信念」,本研究繼續探討如何將此「互動機制」實際應用於與人類生活當中,透過設計將此互動機制實際應用,結合現代科技與藝術使其更具吸引力與美感。現今已進入以價值為主的高感性經濟時代,體驗經濟能感動人心的關鍵在於將產品與服務提升至碰觸精神心靈的層次。因此運用體驗設計的概念,並嘗試融合與感官直接相關的燈光元素等為創作媒材與靈感來源,進行造型、視覺設計與氛圍的營造,作為接觸人們內心深處的橋樑。
綜合所述,本研究與作品針對「久坐族」預期將達成的五大目標:
1.「健康照護的提醒功能」:設計出感性的互動機制作為基本法則。
2.「獨特的使用者體驗」:將此互動機制結合情感設計增加吸引力。
3.「互動裝置應用(一)」:以結合情境光營造為例。
4.「互動裝置應用(二)」:以結合智慧型手機應用程式為例。
5.「推廣觀念」:藉由以上,推廣久坐族的健康信念。 / This study aimed to develop an interactive sensory mechanism, to hope that through this interaction, for long-term health hazards lurking deep in “sedentary tribe” to provide a soft reminder, without space constraints, setting limits, use of limit etc. All because some of the factors that led to ignore or forget the time “to sit for too long” case, such people is to be reminded.
Through the subject's use and recommendations for analysis and evaluation, this interactive mechanism analysis and induction, trying to find a mode which is different from common reminders such as alarm clock, timer or the animation timer player software designed for computer sedentary tribe , and so on. Such related products must be controlled by ourself to remember and set by hands in this complicated process. The method of reminding is trivial、inconvenient, and its greatest limited is "use time and space constraints." Therefore, the interactive mechanism in this study is expected to provide sedentary tribe another new choice, seeking to be the soft and unlimited use of reminder.
To convey the aforementioned “health beliefs”, the research continues to explore how this “interaction mechanism” actually applied to human life. The practical application of design, combined with modern technology and art to make it more attractive.
Today has entered a value-based、high-touch economic times. Experience economy is the key to raise products and services to touch the spirit of the soul level. Therefore, this study use the concept of experience design, and tries to integrate with the sensory elements as the inspiration for the creative media source for modeling、visual design and creating an atmosphere access to people’s hearts.
Above all, the research and work for the “sedentary tribe” is expected to achieve five major objectives:1) “Reminder for health care”:designing sensibility as the basic rules of interaction mechanisms; 2) “Unique user experience”:an interactive mechanism with this design to increase the emotional appeal; 3) “Interactive device applications 1”:an installation with light to create a situation; 4) “Interactive device applications 2”:an combination of smart mobile device applications; 5) ”Promoting the health concept”:by above, promoting the health beliefs.

La reconnaissance visuelle des mots chez le dyslexique : implication des voies ventrale et dorsale / Visual word recognition in dyslexia : implication of ventral and dorsal pathwaysMahé, Gwendoline 04 July 2013 (has links)
L’objectif de ces travaux a été d’étudier, à partir des potentiels évoqués, l’implication des voies ventrale (qui sous-tend le traitement expert de l’écrit) et dorsale (qui sous-tend des processus phonologiques et attentionnels) lors de la reconnaissance visuelle des mots chez des adultes dyslexiques. Les spécificités des sujets dyslexiques ont été isolées en les comparant à deux groupes contrôles, appariés sur : l’âge (i.e., des lecteurs experts) et sur le niveau de lecture (i.e., des mauvais lecteurs). Les résultats montrent des déficits du traitement expert de l’écrit, phonologiques et de la détection du conflit spécifiques aux sujets dyslexiques. Nos données montrent aussi des déficits du traitement expert des mots familiers et d’orientation de l’attention communs aux sujets dyslexiques et mauvais lecteurs. Les résultats sont discutés dans le cadre du modèle LCD, de la théorie du mapping phonologique et d’une implication précoce de l’orientation attentionnelle dans la lecture. / The aim of this project was to examine with event related potentials ventral (involved in expertise for print) and dorsal (involved in phonological and attentional processes) pathways implication in visual word recognition in dyslexic adults. The specificity of dyslexics was determined by comparing them to age-matched controls (i.e., expert readers) and reading-level matched controls (i.e., poor readers). Results showed impaired expertise for print, decoding abilities and conflict detection which were specific to dyslexics. Our data also revealed impaired expertise for familiar words and attention orienting in both dyslexics and poor readers. Results are discussed in the context of the LCD model, the phonological mapping theory and an early involvement of attention orienting in reading.

Rôle de l’attention lors de la recherche visuelle : mesures électrophysiologiquesDrisdelle, Brandi Lee 01 1900 (has links)
Le but principal de cette thèse était de mieux comprendre la relation entre le déploiement de
l’attention visuo-spatiale et la réponse lors de la recherche visuelle. Nous avons combiné des mesures
de chronométrie mentale (les temps de réponse; TR) et d’électrophysiologie, permettant le suivi du
décours temporel des évènements et la séparation des processus en sous-phases. Trois études ont été
effectuées. Dans les deux premières études, la N2pc, un potentiel relié à un événement (PRE), a été
utilisé comme indice électrophysiologique de l’attention visuelle vers un stimulus latéral lors d’une
tâche de recherche visuelle ayant une cible facilement repérable (qui saute aux yeux) parmi des
distracteurs. Cette composante est caractérisée, en électrophysiologie, par une plus grande négativité
environ 200 ms suivant la présentation de la stimulation aux sites postérieurs et controlatéraux du
champ visuel ciblé. Dans la première étude, la relation entre la composante N2pc et la réponse a été
examinée. Pour ce faire, les données électrophysiologiques ont été scindées selon le TR médian. La
N2pc était plus ample pour les essais et les participants plus rapides comparés à ceux qui étaient plus
lents, suggérant qu’un déploiement attentionnel plus efficace (N2pc plus ample) avait accéléré les
processus subséquents (TR plus court). Dans l’étude 2, le traitement depuis le moment du déploiement
attentionnel jusqu’à la réponse a été élucidé en examinant le déclenchement de la N2pc par rapport à
la réponse et non au stimulus (ce qui est plus utilisé dans les paradigmes classiques). Nous avons été
les premiers à utiliser la RLpcN (response-locked posterior contralateral negativity), composée de la
composante N2pc et la SPCN (une composante suivant la N2pc reflétant le traitement en mémoire
visuelle à court terme). Les résultats ont démontré une augmentation du temps entre le début de la
RLpcN et la réponse pour les TR plus lents, reflétant un traitement plus long suivant le déploiement
de l’attention spatiale. Nous avons par la suite utilisé cette composante (la RLpcN) pour étudier la
recherche visuelle difficile (Étude 3), où la cible n’était pas facilement identifiable parmi des
distracteurs, à l’aide de manipulations expérimentales modulant la RLpcN, soit le nombre d’items et de réponses possibles. Plus il y avait d’items dans le champ visuel ou de possibilités de réponses, plus
longue était la durée entre le début de la RLpcN et la réponse, démontrant ainsi qu’il est possible
d’observer l’activité associée avec les processus sous-jacents à ces manipulations lors d’une recherche
difficile. En somme, nous avons montré (1) qu’un déploiement attentionnel plus efficace accélère les
processus subséquents, (2) que le traitement déterminant les TR se produit, en majorité, suivant le
déploiement de l’attention et, enfin, (3) qu’il est possible d’identifier des marqueurs
électrophysiologiques de la sélection de la cible ainsi que de la réponse lors d’une recherche difficile.
Dans l’ensemble, les résultats des études constituant la présente thèse vont au-delà des études
électrophysiologiques de recherche visuelle typiques, qui utilisent généralement des cibles qui sautent
aux yeux, et élucident le décours temporel du traitement lors de recherches plus complexes. / The overarching thesis was to understand better the relationship between the deployment of
visual spatial attention and the eventual response during visual search. We combined mental
chronometry with electrophysiological measures, allowing us to track the temporal sequence of events
and bisect processing into sub-phases. The two first studies used the N2pc, an event-related potential
(ERP) component, as an electrophysiological marker of visual attention to laterally presented stimuli
using a pop-out (i.e., the target stands out) visual search task. The N2pc is characterised by an
enhanced negativity emerging around 200 ms after the display onset at posterior sites contralateral to
the attended visual field. In Study 1, we first evaluated the relationship between the N2pc component
and the moment of response. Electrophysiological data were split according to the response time (RT)
median. The N2pc was larger for both fast compared with slow trials and participants, suggesting that
a more efficient deployment of attention (larger N2pc) sped up downstream processing (shorter RTs).
In Study 2, processing from the deployment of attention to the response was elucidated by examining
N2pc onset relative to the response instead of to the display onset. We pioneered the use of the RLpcN
(response-locked contralateral negativity), composed of the N2pc and the SPCN (a component
following the N2pc and reflecting processing of task-relevant stimuli in visual short-term memory).
Importantly, more time passed between RLpcN onset and the response for longer RTs, reflecting more
processing time following the onset of visual spatial attention. We then used this component to study
difficult search (Study 3), where the target was not easily located, using experimental manipulations
designed to modulate the RLpcN. We showed that when there were more items present in the visual
field or response selection was more difficult, there was a longer duration between RLpcN onset and
the response, demonstrating that it is possible to observe activity associated with specific processes
during difficult visual search. In summary, we provide evidence that (1) a more efficient deployment
of attention speeds up downstream processing, (2) processing determining RTs occurs, in majority, following the deployment of attention, and (3) it is possible to identify electrophysiological markers
of target and response selection during difficult search. Together, the results of these experiments go
beyond typical electrophysiological experiments of visual search, which use pop-out targets, and
elucidate the time course of processing during more complex search.

The effects of anxiety on visual attention for emotive stimuli in primary school childrenKelly, Lauren January 2014 (has links)
Anxiety can be advantageous in terms of survival and well-being, yet atypically high levels may be maladaptive and result in the clinical diagnosis of an anxiety disorder. Several risk factors have been implicated in the manifestation of clinical anxiety, including cognitive biases. In recent years, a plethora of research has emerged demonstrating that anxious adults exhibit biases of attention for threatening stimuli, especially that which is biologically relevant (e.g., facial expressions). Specific components of attentional bias have also been identified, namely facilitated engagement, impaired disengagement, and avoidance. However, the majority of studies have focused on the spatial domain of attention. Furthermore, the area is under-researched in children, despite research demonstrating that symptoms relating to clinical and non-clinical anxiety follow a stable course from childhood through to adolescence and adulthood. Consequently, the aim of this thesis was to investigate how anxiety affects children’s visual attention for emotive, particularly angry, faces. In order to provide a more comprehensive understanding, the current research involved examining the role of temporal and spatial attention utilising rapid serial visual presentation with the attentional blink, and the visual probe paradigm, respectively. The main hypothesis was that high state and/or trait anxiety would be associated with an attentional bias for angry, relative to positive or neutral faces in both the temporal and spatial domains. In relation to the temporal domain, key findings demonstrated that high levels of trait anxiety were associated with facilitated engagement towards both angry and neutral faces. It was further found that all children rapidly disengaged attention away from angry faces. Findings related to the processing of angry faces accorded with the main hypothesis stated in this thesis, as well as research and theory in the area. The finding that anxious children preferentially processed neutral faces in an attentional blink investigation was unexpected. This was argued to potentially reflect this stimulus type being interpreted as threatening. Key findings regarding the spatial domain were that high trait anxious children displayed an early covert bias of attention away from happy faces and a later, overt bias of attention away from angry faces. The finding that high trait anxiety was linked to an attentional bias away from happy faces in a visual probe task was also unexpected. This was argued to potentially reflect smiling faces being interpreted as signifying social dominance, thus resulting in the viewer experiencing feelings of subordination and becoming avoidant and/or submissive. To conclude, this thesis has enhanced current knowledge of attentional bias in both the temporal and spatial domains for emotive stimuli in anxious children. It has demonstrated that higher levels of trait anxiety moderate children’s allocation of attentional resources to different stimulus types, whether these are threatening, positive, or neutral. This has important implications for evaluating past research in adults and children, and for further developing theoretical models of attentional bias and anxiety. It also offers important clinical implications, since attending towards or away from specific stimuli may affect the development and maintenance of anxiety disorders. Recently, a treatment that aims to modify attentional bias in anxious individuals has begun to be developed. In light of the present findings, it may be necessary to review this treatment so that anxious children are re-trained in the specific biases of attention demonstrated here.

Age-related Changes to Attention and Working Memory: An Electrophysiological StudyWilson, Kristin 30 December 2010 (has links)
The aim of this thesis was to help elucidate the mechanisms that underlie age-related decline in visual selective attention and working memory (WM). Older and younger adults completed a behavioural WM task, after which electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded as participants perform a localized attentional interference (LAI) task – competition/attentional interference was manipulated by systematically altering the distance between targets and distractors. Older adults showed impaired accuracy and reaction time on the WM and LAI tasks. Two event-related-potentials, indexing spatial attention (N2pc) and target processing (Ptc), displayed attenuated amplitude and increased latency in older adults. Thus, spatial selection, target enhancement and processing speed deficits may contribute to age-related attentional impairments. Furthermore, an unexpected component was found between the N2pc and Ptc in the older adult waveforms. Preliminary analyses suggest this may be the PD, implicated in distractor suppression, which may be differentially contributing to older and younger adults’ electrophysiology and attentional processing.
