to affect social functioning. However, there is now a growing body of evidence that unusual …

Three classes of perceptual phenomena have repeatedly been associated with autism
spectrum disorder (ASD): superior processing of fine detail (local structure), either inferior …

How does attention optimize our visual system for the task at hand? Two mechanisms have
been proposed for how attention improves signal processing: gain and tuning. To …

Many species, including humans, display group behavior. Thus, perceiving crowds may be
important for social interaction and survival. Here, we provide the first evidence that humans …
