One of the most robust experience-related cortical dynamics is reduced neural activity when
stimuli are repeated. This reduction has been linked to performance improvements due to …

Evidence from functional neuroimaging of the human brain indicates that information about
salient properties of an object—such as what it looks like, how it moves, and how it is used …

To what extent do all brains work alike during natural conditions? We explored this question
by letting five subjects freely view half an hour of a popular movie while undergoing …

We perceive the shapes and material properties of objects quickly and reliably despite the
complexity and objective ambiguities of natural images. Typical images are highly complex …

The last ten years of attention research have witnessed a revolution, replacing a theoretical
dichotomy (top-down vs. bottom-up control) with a trichotomy (biased by current goals …

▪ Abstract The discovery and analysis of cortical visual areas is a major accomplishment of
visual neuroscience. In the past decade the use of noninvasive functional imaging …

Plants with a winter growth habit flower earlier when exposed for several weeks to cold
temperatures, a process called vernalization. We report here the positional cloning of the …

Object vision is commonly thought to involve a hierarchy of brain regions processing
increasingly complex image features, with high-level visual cortex supporting object …

Humans are remarkably adept at perceiving and understanding complex real-world scenes.
Uncovering the neural basis of this ability is an important goal of vision science …

Faces are among the most informative stimuli we ever perceive: Even a split-second glimpse
of a person's face tells us his identity, sex, mood, age, race, and direction of attention. The …
