Designing for visual and auditory attention in complex high-tempo worlds. This research addresses the national priority of developing frontier technologies through smart information use. Advanced display technologies are positioned for rapid uptake in many sectors of the economy but are not fully tested.

This research addresses the national priority of developing frontier technologies through smart information use. Advanced display technologies are positioned for rapid uptake in many sectors of the economy but are not fully tested. Results of our research will generalise to manufacturing, defence, aviation, and medicine. Given the focus on anaesthesia in this proposal, our research may help to make anaesthesia safer for patients and easier for anaesthetists to administer. With this research, an Australian group will enhance its international lead in the area of innovative interfaces for safety critical applications. The proposed research should lead to further inventions that have the potential to benefit Australian industry.Read moreRead less
Filters reveal what flicker conceals: temporal processing in the human visual system. I have recently discovered a new form of camouflage using 10Hz luminance flicker. This project will quantify this effect and examine the extent to which it generalises across colour and spatial dimensions and to video sequences depicting natural scenes. This information is expected to provide foundational information to technologies relating to national security that rely on visual concealment. This research wi ....Filters reveal what flicker conceals: temporal processing in the human visual system. I have recently discovered a new form of camouflage using 10Hz luminance flicker. This project will quantify this effect and examine the extent to which it generalises across colour and spatial dimensions and to video sequences depicting natural scenes. This information is expected to provide foundational information to technologies relating to national security that rely on visual concealment. This research will examine the extent to which filtering out these camouflaging frequencies enhances our sensitivity to low temporal frequency information. This decamouflaging aspect of my research is expected to improve the clarity of digital video-based technologies including ultrasound, educational, info-tainment and defence applicationsRead moreRead less
