One of the central questions in visual neuroscience is how the sparse retinal signals leaving
our eyes are transformed into a rich subjective visual experience of the world. Invasive …

We present online multi-modal perception systems for extracting kinematic and dynamic
models of articulated objects from physical interactions with the environment. The systems …

Eye movements bring attended visual inputs to the center of vision for further processing.
Thus, central and peripheral vision should have different functional roles. Here, we use …

Visual cortical areas are interconnected via layer-specific feedforward and feedback
projections. Such intricate connections are thought to be essential for parsing complex …

Background Dysfunctional connectivity within the perceptual hierarchy is proposed to be an
integral component of psychosis. The fragmented ambiguous object task was implemented …

Our visual system readily groups dynamic fragmented input into global objects. How the
brain represents global object perception remains however unclear. To address this …

Visual perception is abnormal in psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia. In addition to
hallucinations, laboratory tests show differences in fundamental visual processes including …

Abstract Recently a theory (Zhao**, Vision Research, 136, 32-49, 2017) proposed that top-
down feedback from higher to lower visual cortical areas, to aid visual recognition, is …

Despite technology advances that have enabled routine acquisition of functional MRI data
with sub-millimeter resolution, the inferences that cognitive neuroscientists must make to link …

Saccadic eye movements, a critical aspect of real‐world visual behavior, are preceded by an
initial accumulation of visual information followed by the selection of a single location to …
