Computational modeling of the primate visual system yields insights of potential relevance to
some of the challenges that computer vision is facing, such as object recognition and …

We have used the technique of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and a variety
of colour paradigms to activate the human brain regions selective for colour. We show here …

The problem of consciousness continues to be a subject of great debate in cognitive
science. Synthesizing decades of research, The Conscious Brain advances a new theory of …

For decades, scientists who heard about synesthesia hearing colors, tasting words, seeing
colored pain just shrugged their shoulders or rolled their eyes. Now, as irrefutable evidence …

We used the technique of functional magnetic resonance imaging to chart the colour
pathways in the human brain beyond V4. We asked subjects to view objects that were …

The visual brain consists of several parallel, functionally specialized processing systems,
each having several stages (nodes) which terminate their tasks at different times; …

Recent research indicates that perceptual learning (PL)—experience-induced changes in
the way perceivers extract information—plays a larger role in complex cognitive tasks …

Which aspects of our sensory environment enter conscious awareness does not only
depend on physical features of the stimulus, but also critically on the so-called current brain …

We report on two brain-damaged subjects who exhibit the uncommon pattern of loss of
object color knowledge, but spared color perception and naming. The subject PCO, as in …

One of the primordial functions of the brain is the acquisition of knowledge. The apparatus
that it has evolved to do so is flexible enough to allow it to acquire knowledge about …
