Most of our knowledge about the functional organization of neuronal systems is based on
the analysis of the firing patterns of individual neurons that have been recorded one by one …

We see the world in scenes, where visual objects occur in rich surroundings, often
embedded in a typical context with other related objects. How does the human brain analyse …

Mental representations remain the central posits of psychology after many decades of
scrutiny. However, there is no consensus about the representational format (s) of biological …

Mounting evidence suggests that 'core object recognition,'the ability to rapidly recognize
objects despite substantial appearance variation, is solved in the brain via a cascade of …

Here we review recent findings that reveal the functional properties of extra-striate regions in
the human visual cortex that are involved in the representation and perception of objects …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and surface-based representations of brain
activity were used to compare the functional anatomy of two tasks, one involving covert shifts …

Over recent years, the psychology of concepts has been rejuvenated by new work on
prototypes, inventive ideas on causal cognition, the development of neo-empiricist theories …

Despite tremendous variation in the appearance of visual objects, primates can recognize a
multitude of objects, each in a fraction of a second, with no apparent effort. However, the …

A common objection to sense–datum theories of perception is that they cannot give an
adequate account of the fact that introspection indicates that our sensory experiences are …

The invariant properties of human cortical neurons cannot be studied directly by fMRI due to
its limited spatial resolution. One voxel obtained from a fMRI scan contains several hundred …
