Cognitive factors can influence self-motion perception (vection) in virtual reality
Bülthoff, Heinrich H.; Riecke, Bernhard E.; Schulte-Pelkum, J.; Avraamides, Marios N.; Von, Der Heyde (ACM - Association for Computing Machinery, 2006)Research on self-motion perception and simulation has traditionally focused on the contribution of physical stimulus properties ('bottom-up factors') using abstract stimuli. Here, we demonstrate that cognitive ('top-down') ...

Cognitive modeling of dilution effects in visual search
Neokleous, Kleanthis C.; Avraamides, Marios N.; Neocleous, Costas K.; Schizas, Christos N. (2012)A biologically plausible neural network model of selective attention has been implemented to account for discrepant findings on the source of distractor interference in visual search tasks. The model successfully simulated ...

Collaborating in spatial tasks: How partners coordinate their spatial memories and descriptions
Galati, Alexia; Avraamides, Marios N. (2013)We summarize findings from a study examining whether the availability of the conversational partner's spatial viewpoint influences the speaker's spatial memories, description strategies, their joint efficiency and accuracy ...

Collaborating in spatial tasks: Partners adapt the perspective of their descriptions, coordination strategies, and memory representations
Galati, Alexia; Avraamides, Marios N. (2012)The partner’s viewpoint influences spatial descriptions and, when strongly emphasized, spatial memories as well. We examined whether partner specific information affects the representations people spontaneously construct, ...

Computational modeling of visual selective attention based on correlation and synchronization of neural activity
Neokleous,Kleanthis C.; Avraamides, Marios N.; Schizas, Christos N. (2009)Within the broad area of computational intelligence, it is of great importance to develop new computational models of human behaviour aspects. In this report we look into the recently suggested theory that neural synchronization ...

The conversational partner's perspective affects spatial memory and descriptions
Galati, Alexia; Michael, C.; Mello, C.; Greenauer, N. M.; Avraamides, Marios N. (2013)We examined whether people spontaneously represent the partner’s viewpoint in spatial memory when it is available in advance and whether they adapt their spontaneous descriptions accordingly. In 18 pairs, Directors studied ...

Cross-sensory reference frame transfer in spatial memory: The case of proprioceptive learning
Avraamides, Marios N.; Sarrou, M.; Kelly, Jonathan W. (2014)In three experiments, we investigated whether the information available to visual perception prior to encoding the locations of objects in a path through proprioception would influence the reference direction from which ...

Cross-sensory transfer of reference frames in spatial memory
Kelly, Jonathan W.; Avraamides, Marios N. (2011)Two experiments investigated whether visual cues influence spatial reference frame selection for locations learned through touch. Participants experienced visual cues emphasizing specific environmental axes and later learned ...

Desensitization to media violence over a short period of time
Fanti, Kostas A.; Vanman, Eric; Henrich, Christopher C.; Avraamides, Marios N. (2009)This study investigated the desensitization to violence over a short period of time. Participants watched nine violent movie scenes and nine comedy scenes, and reported whether they enjoyed the violent or comedy scenes and ...

Distortions in Time Perception: How the Production Rate of Linguistic Stimuli Influences the Perception of Elapsed Time
Plastira, Miria N.; Avraamides, Marios N. (2020)In this study we examined whether the exposure to speed-altered audio clips of speech-like stimuli can distort systematically the subjective sense of time. Participants listened to stimuli of varying durations and speeds ...

Do Aligned Bodies Align Minds? The Partners’ Body Alignment as a Constraint on Spatial Perspective Use
Galati, Alexia; Symeonidou, Angela; Avraamides, Marios N. (2020)In a direction-giving task, we examine whether a high-level constraint—the task partners’ relative body alignment—influences spatial language use and task accuracy. In 32 pairs, task partners interacted in two conditions: ...

Does body orientation matter when reasoning about depicted or described scenes?
Avraamides, Marios N.; Pantelides, Stephanie N. (2008)Two experiments were conducted to assess whether the orientation of the body at the time of test affects the efficiency with which people reason about spatial relations that are encoded in memory through symbolic media. ...
