Filling-in is a perceptual phenomenon in which a visual attribute such as colour, brightness,
texture or motion is perceived in a region of the visual field even though such an attribute …

▪ Abstract The visual image formed on the retina represents an amalgam of visual scene
properties, including the reflectances of surfaces, their relative positions, and the type of …

A visual scene is rapidly segmented into the regions that are occupied by different objects
and background. Segmentation may be initiated from the detection of boundaries, followed …

Blakeslee and McCourt ((1997) Vision Research, 37, 2849–2869) demonstrated that a
multiscale array of two-dimensional difference-of-Gaussian (DOG) filters provided a simple …

Following the pioneering studies of the receptive field (RF), the RF concept gained further
significance for visual perception by the discovery of input effects from beyond the classical …

Brightness induction includes both contrast and assimilations effects. Brightness contrast
occurs when the brightness of a test region shifts away from the brightness of adjacent …

Brightness changes can be induced in a static gray field by modulating the luminance of
surrounding areas. We used this induction phenomenon to investigate the neural …

We studied perceptual filling-in during maintained peripheral viewing of a uniform gray or
red figure presented on a large textured background. Changes in the figure's size, shape …

A key challenge underlying theories of vision is how the spatially restricted, retinotopically
represented feature analysis can be integrated to form abstract, coordinate-free object …

The brightness and color of a surface depends on its contrast with nearby surfaces. For
example, a gray surface can appear very light when surrounded by a black surface or dark …
