We summarize the various strands of research on peripheral vision and relate them to
theories of form perception. After a historical overview, we describe quantifications of the …

Transformations of visuospatial mental images are important for action, navigation, and
reasoning. They depend on representations in multiple spatial reference frames …

Data analysis often involves the comparison of complex objects. With the ever increasing
amounts and complexity of data, the demand for systems to help with these comparisons is …

Supporting comparison is a common and diverse challenge in visualization. Such support is
difficult to design because solutions must address both the specifics of their scenario as well …

A neural theory of visual attention (NTVA) is presented. NTVA is a neural interpretation of C.
Bundesen's (1990) theory of visual attention (TVA). In NTVA, visual processing capacity is …

Well-designed data visualizations can lead to more powerful and intuitive processing by a
viewer. To help a viewer intuitively compare values to quickly generate key takeaways …

We present a systematic review on three comparative layouts-juxtaposition, superposition,
and explicit-encoding-which are information visualization (InfoVis) layouts designed to …

A basic problem of visual perception is how human beings recognize objects after spatial
transformations. Three central classes of findings have to be accounted for:(a) Recognition …

The language for expressing comparisons is often complex and nuanced, making
supporting natural language-based visual comparison a non-trivial task. To better …

Humans have a uniquely sophisticated ability to see past superficial features and to
understand the relational structure of the world around us. This ability often requires that we …
