Distinct mechanisms control contrast adaptation over different timescales 26 Aug 2013 | 09:25 pm
Abstract Changes to the visual environment can happen at many timescales, from very transient to semi-permanent. To adapt optimally, the visual system also adjusts at different timescales, with longer...
Race-contingent face aftereffects: A result of perceived racial typicality, not categorization 22 Aug 2013 | 06:43 pm
Abstract Opposing aftereffects can be simultaneously induced by adapting to faces of different races distorted in opposite directions, allowing researchers to infer that faces are encoded against race...
Long-lasting visual integration of form, motion, and color as revealed by visual masking 20 Aug 2013 | 09:20 pm
Abstract When two similar visual stimuli are presented in rapid succession at the same location, they fuse. For example, a red and a green disk are perceived as one single yellow disk. Likewise, verni...
Object-based encoding in visual working memory: A life span study 20 Aug 2013 | 09:20 pm
Abstract Recent studies on development of visual working memory (VWM) predominantly focus on VWM capacity and spatial-based information filtering in VWM. Here we explored another new aspect of VWM dev...
The biological significance of color constancy: An agent-based model with bees foraging from flowers under varied illumination 20 Aug 2013 | 09:20 pm
Abstract The perceived color of an object depends on its spectral reflectance and the spectral composition of the illuminant. Thus when the illumination changes, the light reflected from the object al...
Modeling visual working memory with the MemToolbox 20 Aug 2013 | 09:20 pm
Abstract The MemToolbox is a collection of MATLAB functions for modeling visual working memory. In support of its goal to provide a full suite of data analysis tools, the toolbox includes implementati...
Saccadic and smooth-pursuit eye movements during reading of drifting texts 16 Aug 2013 | 06:25 pm
Abstract Reading is a complex visuomotor behavior characterized by an alternation of fixations and saccadic eye movements. Despite the widespread use of drifting texts in various settings, very little...
Depth spreading through empty space induced by sparse disparity cues 14 Aug 2013 | 08:36 pm
Abstract A key goal of visual processing is to develop an understanding of the three-dimensional layout of the objects in our immediate vicinity from the variety of incomplete and noisy depth cues ava...
Rotating columns: Relating structure-from-motion, accretion/deletion, and figure/ground 14 Aug 2013 | 08:36 pm
Abstract We present a novel phenomenon involving an interaction between accretion deletion, figure-ground interpretation, and structure-from-motion. Our displays contain alternating light and dark ver...
Abnormality in face scanning by children with autism spectrum disorder is limited to the eye region: Evidence from multi-method analyses of eye tracki... 8 Aug 2013 | 06:55 pm
Abstract There has been considerable controversy regarding whether children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and typically developing children (TD) show different eye movement patterns when process...
