If they only had information about programmes that were clearly criminal it might paint a misleading image of the activities of our intelligence agencies and slant perceptions to make them all the villains that they're not.
'Haptic' measures of geographical slant perception can be accurate for relatively steep slopes, in both near and far space.
Two experiments reported here compare the accuracy of Proffitt's palm-board with an alternative measure of geographical slant perception, the Palm-Controlled Inclinometer (PCI), which allows participants to use wrist, elbow and shoulder movements to match slant with their hand.
Many studies have shown that slant perception in control observers is greatly enhanced by such surface boundaries [40], [41].
Since this component provides the orientation flows that signify 3-D shape, the enhancement of visibility facilitates 3-D slant perception.
Further studies have investigated stereo-texture fusion [7], [8] for slant perception and visual-haptic fusion [6] for size perception in greater detail, using simpler 2-alternative forced choice paradigms.
In particular, the application of Bayes' rule has been demonstrated in slant perception [19], sensorimotor learning [20], speed estimation [18], time estimation and interval timing [21], motion perception [22], and integration of information from different sensory modalities [12], [23].
Apparently, the perception among some Israelis is that media coverage has been slanted to show the conflict too much from Palestinian eyes, to the point where journalists are facing hostility not only in Gaza, where the overwhelming majority of the violence has taken place, but in Israel.
We have shown that when textured surfaces are slanted, the release of COS makes the critical orientation flows more visible, which correlates with better perception of 3-D slant.
In studies of visual verticality, experimenters investigated the conditions that determine perception of the "upright". A tilted chair that could be mechanically controlled by the subject was placed in a slanted room containing visual indicators of verticals and horizontals.
