Peripheral vision is fundamental for many real-world tasks, including walking, driving, and
aviation. Nonetheless, there has been no effort to connect these applied literatures to …

To understand visual consciousness, we must understand how the brain represents
ensembles of objects at many levels of perceptual analysis. Ensemble perception refers to …

Humans have the capacity, but perhaps not always the willingness, for great intelligence.
From global warming to the spread of misinformation and beyond, our species is facing …

Although our subjective impression is of a richly detailed visual world, numerous empirical
results suggest that the amount of visual information observers can perceive and remember …

The visual system can only accurately represent a handful of objects at once. How do we
cope with this severe capacity limitation? One possibility is to use selective attention to …

Numerous theories of consciousness hold that there are separate neural correlates of
conscious experience and cognitive function, aligning with the assumption that there are …

A shape can be more difficult to identify when other shapes are near it. For example, when
several grating patches are viewed parafoveally, observers are unable to report the …

Everyday scenes often contain sets of similar objects. Perceptual representations may
summarize these with statistical descriptors. After determining the psychological mean of two …

It is a very challenging problem to well simulate visual attention mechanisms for content-
based image retrieval. In this paper, we propose a novel computational visual attention …

There is considerable interest in how humans estimate the number of objects in a scene in
the context of an extensive literature on how we estimate the density (ie, spacing) of objects …
