Human visual performance changes with visual field location. It is best at the center of gaze
and declines with eccentricity, and also varies markedly with polar angle. These perceptual …

Objects are the core meaningful elements in our visual environment. Classic theories of
object vision focus upon object recognition and are elegant and simple. Some of their …

Extensive sampling of neural activity during rich cognitive phenomena is critical for robust
understanding of brain function. Here we present the Natural Scenes Dataset (NSD), in …

Human cortex appears to thin during childhood development. However, the underlying
microstructural mechanisms are unknown. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging …

The right hemispheric lateralization of face recognition, which is well documented and
appears to be specific to the human species, remains a scientific mystery. According to a …

In natural vision, objects appear at typical locations, both with respect to visual space (eg, an
airplane in the upper part of a scene) and other objects (eg, a lamp above a table). Recent …

For more than 100 years we have known that the visual field is mapped onto the surface of
visual cortex, imposing an inherently spatial reference frame on visual information …

Human social nature has shaped visual perception. A signature of the relationship between
vision and sociality is a particular visual sensitivity to social entities such as faces and …

The scientific study of reading has a rich history that spans disciplines from vision science to
linguistics, psychology, cognitive neuroscience, neurology, and education. The study of …

Reconstructing natural images and decoding their semantic category from fMRI brain
recordings is challenging. Acquiring sufficient pairs of images and their corresponding fMRI …
