The human visual system is highly proficient in extracting bilateral symmetry from visual
input. This paper reviews empirical and theoretical work on human symmetry perception …

Actual existing multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods yield results that may be
questionable and unreliable. These methods very often ignore the issue of uncertainty and …

When learning the value of actions in volatile environments, humans often make seemingly
irrational decisions that fail to maximize expected value. We reasoned that these 'non …

Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) plays a vibrant role in decision-making, and the
characteristic object method (COMET) acts as a powerful tool for decision-making of …

Multicriteria decision‐making (MCDM) methods are concerned with the ranking of
alternatives based on expert judgements made using a number of criteria. In the MCDM …

Confidence is the 'feeling of knowing'that accompanies decision-making. Bayesian theory
proposes that confidence is a function solely of the perceived probability of being correct …

Symmetry is an important and prominent feature of the visual world. It has been studied as a
basis for image segmentation and perceptual organization, but it also plays a role in higher …

Visual symmetry at fixation generates a bilateral Event Related Potential (ERP) called the
Sustained Posterior Negativity (SPN). Symmetry presented in the left visual hemifield …

Detection of (mirror) symmetry—which is abundantly present in the world—is often assumed
to be an integral part of the perceptual organization process that is applied to every visual …
