Less is More! Visual Suppression for Bottom-up and Top-down Attention in Dynamic Environments

Dynamic virtual environments pose growing challenges for users who must manage attention across competing visual elements, where distractors can divert focus from relevant objects in these scenarios. Because human attention functions as a filter, it is shaped by competing influences from bottom-up salience and top-dow…

A Longitudinal Study on the Effects of Circadian Fatigue on Sound Source Identification and Localization using a Heads-Up Display

Circadian fatigue, largely caused by sleep deprivation, significantly diminishes alertness and situational awareness. This issue becomes critical in environments where auditory awareness—such as responding to verbal instructions or localizing alarms—is essential for performance and safety. While head-mounted displays…
