Visual crowding: A fundamental limit on conscious perception and object recognition

D Whitney, DM Levi - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2011 - cell.com
Crowding, the inability to recognize objects in clutter, sets a fundamental limit on conscious
visual perception and object recognition throughout most of the visual field. Despite how …

Capabilities and limitations of peripheral vision

R Rosenholtz - Annual review of vision science, 2016 - annualreviews.org
This review discusses several pervasive myths about peripheral vision, as well as what is
actually true: Peripheral vision underlies a broad range of visual tasks, in spite of its …

Metamers of the ventral stream

J Freeman, EP Simoncelli - Nature neuroscience, 2011 - nature.com
The human capacity to recognize complex visual patterns emerges in a sequence of brain
areas known as the ventral stream, beginning with primary visual cortex (V1). We developed …

Summary statistics in auditory perception

JH McDermott, M Schemitsch, EP Simoncelli - Nature neuroscience, 2013 - nature.com
Sensory signals are transduced at high resolution, but their structure must be stored in a
more compact format. Here we provide evidence that the auditory system summarizes the …

Beyond blur: Real-time ventral metamers for foveated rendering

DR Walton, RK Dos Anjos, S Friston… - ACM Transactions …, 2021 - eprints.whiterose.ac.uk
To peripheral vision, a pair of physically different images can look the same. Such pairs are
metamers relative to each other, just as physically-different spectra of light are perceived as …

The impending demise of the item in visual search

J Hulleman, CNL Olivers - Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2017 - cambridge.org
The way the cognitive system scans the visual environment for relevant information–visual
search in short–has been a long-standing central topic in vision science. From its inception …

Variations in crowding, saccadic precision, and spatial localization reveal the shared topology of spatial vision

JA Greenwood, M Szinte, B Sayim… - Proceedings of the …, 2017 - National Acad Sciences
Visual sensitivity varies across the visual field in several characteristic ways. For example,
sensitivity declines sharply in peripheral (vs. foveal) vision and is typically worse in the …

[HTML][HTML] Crowding, grou**, and object recognition: A matter of appearance

MH Herzog, B Sayim, V Chicherov… - Journal of vision, 2015 - iovs.arvojournals.org
In crowding, the perception of a target strongly deteriorates when neighboring elements are
presented. Crowding is usually assumed to have the following characteristics.(a) Crowding …

[HTML][HTML] Grou**, pooling, and when bigger is better in visual crowding

M Manassi, B Sayim, MH Herzog - Journal of Vision, 2012 - iovs.arvojournals.org
In crowding, perception of a target is strongly deteriorated by nearby elements. Crowding is
often explained by pooling models predicting that adding flankers increases crowding. In …

Selectivity and tolerance for visual texture in macaque V2

CM Ziemba, J Freeman, JA Movshon… - Proceedings of the …, 2016 - National Acad Sciences
As information propagates along the ventral visual hierarchy, neuronal responses become
both more specific for particular image features and more tolerant of image transformations …
