Good sources of information about the underlying mechanisms seem to be provided by psychologists and, to a given extent, by neurophysiologists. Rather than analysis of elementar phenomena, what I am more interested in are frameworks and theories that try to explain the global process of attention in vision. Since I am a computer scientist, I shall also be interested in applying these concepts into a working machine vision system. Therefore, I would be grateful for any information, reference, discussion or pointers about work done in this field. Many thanks, Ruggero Milanese E-mail: milanese@cuisun.unige.ch Address: Centre Universitaire d'Informatique 12, rue du Lac 1207 - Geneve Switzerland ------------------------------ From: Gary Berg-Cross Subject: Information on Media in Psychology My wife, a faculty member at Howard University, is preparing a new course on the use of "Media" in Psychology. Any pointers to articles, conferences, major researchers in this area would be welcome. Her intitial focus, based on her own work, has been on video to promote mental health education and family counselling. However, the course will have a much wider scope both in terms of topics and in terms of media. Any pointers would be welcome and can be sent by e-mail to me. ------------------------------ PSYCOLOQUY is sponsored by the Science Directorate of the American Psychological Association (202) 955-7653 Co-Editors: (scientific discussion) (professional/clinical discussion) Stevan Harnad Perry London Psychology Department Dean, Graduate School of Princeton University Applied and Professional Psychology Rutgers University Assistant Editors: Malcolm Bauer John Pizutelli Psychology Department Psychology Department Princeton University Rutgers University End of PSYCOLOQUY Digest ******************************
