Psychophysics experiments have shown that relative orientations between 0 deg and about 50 deg produce repulsion effects (the test line or grating tends to rotate away from the contextual stimulus), which is known as the direct form of the tilt effect; but larger relative orientations up to 90 deg produce attraction effects (the test line or ...
Visible Speech is a system of phonetic symbols developed by British linguist Alexander Melville Bell in 1867 to represent the position of the speech organs in articulating sounds. Bell was known internationally as a teacher of speech and proper elocution and an author of books on the subject.
The Kinetic depth effect is the phenomenon whereby the three-dimensional structural form of a silhouette can be perceived when the object is moving. In the absence of other visual depth cues, this might be the only perception mechanism available to infer the object's shape.
Females show a stronger McGurk effect than males. Women show significantly greater visual influence on auditory speech than men did for brief visual stimuli, but no difference is apparent for full stimuli. [29] Another aspect regarding gender is the issue of male faces and voices as stimuli in comparison to female faces and voices as stimuli.
Ecstasy is the street name that refers to the popular recreational drug that contains 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA). [13] The now frequently used drug in the rave and club scene was first synthesized by Merck, a German pharmaceutical company that was investigating the development of new medications in the early 1900s.

Automatic visual speech recognition from video has been quite successful in distinguishing different languages (from a corpus of spoken language data). [66] Demonstration models, using machine-learning algorithms, have had some success in lipreading speech elements, such as specific words, from video [ 67 ] and for identifying hard-to-lipread ...
Visual schedules use a series of pictures to communicate a series of activities or the steps of a specific activity. [1] [2] They are often used to help children understand and manage the daily events in their lives. [3] They can be created using pictures, photographs, or written words, depending upon the ability of the child.
For example, Alais and Burr (2004) using the ventriloquism effect, found that vision is capable of taking over auditory senses, specifically with well-localized visual stimuli. [2] This means that when the stimuli producing the sound as well as vision are close together, there seems to be a direct relationship formed in the perception of these ...
