In our</p><p>quantitative analysis the participants were approximately 51 percent girls and women and 49</p><p>percent boys and men. The same allocation between females and males applied when it came</p><p>to for how long the participants were allowed to speak. In our qualitative analysis we found</p><p>that the children and the adults did represent different stereotypes and played different roles</p><p>but that there were hardly any differences in this respect between the genders.</p>

A fundamental question in visual neuroscience is how to represent image structure. The most common representational schemes rely on differential operators that compare adjacent image regions. While well-suited to encoding local relationships, such operators have significant drawbacks. Specifically, each filter’s span is confounded with the size of its sub-fields, making it difficult to compare small regions across large distances. We find that such long-distance comparisons are more tolerant to common image transformations than purely local ones, suggesting they may provide a useful vocabulary for image encoding. .We introduce the “Dissociated Dipole,” or “Sticks” operator, for encoding non-local image relationships. This operator de-couples filter span from sub-field size, enabling parametric movement between edge and region-based representation modes. We report on the perceptual plausibility of the operator, and the computational advantages of non-local encoding. Our results suggest that non-local encoding may be an effective scheme for representing image structure.
