dc.description.abstract | Ensemble coding enables humans to quickly assess mean properties of visual cues. Researchers
discriminate between low-level ensemble coding, enabling humans to quickly assess motion,
direction, speed, colour, hue, facial expression, orientation, family resemblance or size of objects in
an ensemble, and higher-level ensemble coding which enables humans to quickly assess the mean
emotional state or gaze of groups of people. The mystery whether higher-level ensemble coding has a
computational basis in low-level visual cues remains. There seems to be ample evidence suggesting
spatial frequency playing a role in decoding emotional states. In this thesis it was investigated whether
the low-level cue spatial frequency added to the computation of higher-level ensembles. Analyses
showed no evidence to this effect suggesting high-level ensemble coding is primarily a feature based
on holistic face perception. | |
