The perceived orientation of a line or grating is affected by the orientation structure of the
surrounding image: the tilt illusion. Here, I offer a selective review of the literature on the tilt …

Antagonistic center–surround configurations are a central organizational principle of our
visual system. In visual cortex, stimulation outside the classical receptive field can decrease …

Representing the orientation of features in the visual image is a fundamental operation of
the early cortical visual system. The nature of such representations can be informed by …

Schizophrenia is typically associated with higher-level cognitive symptoms, such as
disorganized thoughts, delusions, and hallucinations. However, deficits in visual processing …

The visual system employs a sophisticated balance of attentional mechanisms: salient
stimuli are prioritized for visual processing, yet observers can also ignore such stimuli when …

Attention and divisive normalization both contribute to making visual processing more
efficient. Attention selectively increases the neural gain of relevant information in the early …

The extended integration time of visual neurons can lead to the production of the neural
equivalent of an orientation cue along the axis of motion in response to fast-moving objects …

Neural responses to visual stimuli are modulated by spatial and temporal context. For
example, in primary visual cortex (V1), responses to an oriented target stimulus will be …

In the tilt illusion, the perceived orientation of a target grating depends strongly on the
orientation of a surround. When the orientations of the center and surround gratings differ by …

Visuocortical responses are regulated by gain control mechanisms, giving rise to
fundamental neural and perceptual phenomena such as surround suppression …
