Launching awareness and chasing consciousness: Unconscious processing of causality and animacy. KU Leuven
The mystery of conscious visual experience has intrigued many philosophers, psychologists, and neuroscientists for decades, if not centuries. One of the insights research on this topic has yielded is that there is no one-to-one correspondence between physical visual input and our corresponding perceptual experience. Indeed, in some specific situations visual input can be presented to the observer, while remaining invisible. The ultimate goal ...
Scalable multidimensionAl sitUation awaReness sOlution for protectiNg european ports KU Leuven
Nowadays coordinated and every time more complex terrorist attacks are shocking the world. Due to the progressive rely of industrial sector and many critical infrastructures (CI) (e.g. EU ports) in ICT systems, the impact of a coordinated physical attack, a deliberate disruption of critical automation systems or even a combined scenario including both kind of attacks, could have disastrous consequences for the European Member States’ regions ...
Spatial awareness under attentional load in stroke patients and healthy participants Ghent University
Everyday life often requires to perform several tasks in parallel. Under these conditions, our otherwise efficient system devoted to spatial processing can reveal unexpected impairments. Our project will study those multitasking situations where the concurrent processing of visually- or auditorily-presented information results in inefficient processing of the surrounding space. Both stroke patients and healthy participants will participate in ...

Raising awareness about monitoring and controlling the boxwood moth (Cydalima perspectalis) in Flanders Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
The boxwood moth is spreading rapidly throughout Flanders. The damage caused by the caterpillars is causing great concern among producers, traders, owners and caretakers of boxwood plants. A correct and efficient approach will keep this pest under control, but knowledge about it is not always available and it is difficult to reach the target group. The aim of this project was to slow down the ...
Cell-type specific visual information processing via superior colliculus directs goal-directed forelimb movements KU Leuven
To generate an appropriate motor performance in the complex natural environment, the nervous system must simultaneously process and integrate multiple streams of sensory information. While role of proprioceptive feedback and its connectivity to motor output circuits has been studied extensively, circuit-level knowledge linking visual feedback to motor function is largely limited to arousal, orienting and innate behavioral functions. ...
Uncertainty-aware visual analytics KU Leuven
The focus of the research is representing uncertainty in visual analytics applications as well as increasing user trust in predictions. The overall objective is to research meaningful visualisations for large and heterogeneous datasets, taking into account the aspects of data quality and uncertainty. The propagation of uncertainty has been researched by the visual analytics community under the umbrella of “data wrangling”. Most of this work, ...
Hardware-aware, context-scalable processing for embedded visual navigation KU Leuven
Parallelization is a key technique to achieve the high computation rates required for modern computing applications. Especially for data dominated applications, executing multiple operations in parallel is a necessity to meet performance requirements. The way in which this parallelization is implemented, however, impacts both efficiency and flexibility: sharing resources between parallel stages positively influences energy efficiency, while ...
