Sensory systems continuously mold themselves to the widely varying contexts in which they
must operate. Studies of these adaptations have played a long and central role in vision …

Cellular luminescence is the emission of photons by living cells due to various biophysical
and biochemical processes, mostly associated with cellular metabolism. In this review paper …

According to Bayesian models, perception and cognition depend on the optimal
combination of noisy incoming evidence with prior knowledge of the world. Individual …

Whether the retinal process alone or retinal and cortical processes jointly determine
afterimage (AI) formation has long been debated. Based on the retinal rebound responses …

It has been suggested that attenuated adaptation to visual stimuli in autism is the result of
atypical perceptual priors (eg, Pellicano and Burr in Trends Cogn Sci 16 (10): 504–510 …

The question of whether eye movements influence afterimage perception has been asked
since the 18th century, and yet there is surprisingly little consensus on how robust these …

The GPCR signal cascade in retinal photoreceptor cells–rods and cones–supports powerful
signal amplification and allows rods to respond reliably to single light quanta. Rods remain …

Purpose: Palinopsia (persistent afterimages and/or trailing) is a common but poorly
understood symptom of the neurological condition visual snow syndrome. This study aimed …

We investigated filling-in of colored afterimages and compared them with filling-in of “real”
colors in the watercolor illusion. We used shapes comprising two thin adjacent undulating …

Background Trichromacy suggests a three-dimensional space for the organization of color.
In his Bakerian Lecture to the Royal Society, Thomas Young (1802) made the explicit …
