In conclusion, the man-made stimuli studied, which were presumably produced to evoke pleasant and/or enjoyable visual perception in human observers, form a subset of all images and share statistical properties in their Fourier power spectra.
"Neutral" non targets (n = 528) did not contain animals and were as varied as possible, including plants, flowers, buildings, people, man-made objects, various landscapes.All stimuli used in the present study can be seen at http://www.cerco.ups-tlse.fr/StimuliMace/.fr/StimuliMace/
Previous work has shown that medial aspects of the fusiform gyrus prefer man-made objects over animal stimuli (Chao et al. 1999, 2002; Noppeney et al. 2006; Wiggett et al. 2009) and show selective repetition effects to tools compared with other manipulable artifacts (Mahon et al. 2007).
In contrast, the only available behavioural results revealed no advantage in the speed of processing when comparing visual stimuli of animals and means of transport [15], or auditory stimuli of living and man-made objects [13].
In addition, several man-made hybrids have been made.
The present study is motivated by the question of whether interocular conflict is able to attract attention in a situation in which observers do not explicitly know what they are looking for in stimuli depicting natural and man-made scenes.
Prior to that time, the stimulus package (TARP), which was passed after the worst man-made financial crisis in the world since The Great Depression, was picking up a small amount of needed slack.
Here, we examined the physiological stress (plasma corticosterone, CORT) responses of a songbird species (the house finch, Haemorhous mexicanus) to two different anthropogenic stimuli – (1) the presence of a human and (2) a captive environment containing man-made objects.
Man-made systems use gyroscopes.
Our problems are man-made.
But inconsistency also has man-made causes.
