How long to get to the “gist” of real-world natural scenes?

G Rousselet, O Joubert, M Fabre-Thorpe - Visual cognition, 2005 - Taylor & Francis
This study aimed at assessing the processing time of a natural scene in a fast categorization
task of its context or “gist”. In Experiment 1, human subjects performed 4 go/no-go …

Implicit and explicit categorization of natural scenes

M Codispoti, V Ferrari, A De Cesarei… - Progress in brain …, 2006 - Elsevier
Event-related potential (ERP) studies have consistently found that emotionally arousing
(pleasant and unpleasant) pictures elicit a larger late positive potential (LPP) than neutral …

Colour categories are reflected in sensory stages of colour perception when stimulus issues are resolved

L Forder, X He, A Franklin - PLoS One, 2017 - journals.plos.org
Debate exists about the time course of the effect of colour categories on visual processing.
We investigated the effect of colour categories for two groups who differed in whether they …

Rapid categorization of achromatic natural scenes: how robust at very low contrasts?

MJM Macé, SJ Thorpe… - European Journal of …, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
The human visual system is remarkably good at categorizing objects even in challenging
visual conditions. Here we specifically assessed the robustness of the visual system in the …

Categorization of natural scenes: Local versus global information and the role of color

J Vogel, A Schwaninger, C Wallraven… - ACM Transactions on …, 2007 - dl.acm.org
Categorization of scenes is a fundamental process of human vision that allows us to
efficiently and rapidly analyze our surroundings. Several studies have explored the …

Why does natural scene categorization require little attention? Exploring attentional requirements for natural and synthetic stimuli

L Fei-Fei, R VanRullen, C Koch, P Perona - Visual Cognition, 2005 - Taylor & Francis
It was recently demonstrated that detecting target objects (eg, animals) in natural scenes can
be done in a dual-task paradigm, in the near absence of spatial attention. Under the same …

Discriminating scene categories from brain activity within 100 milliseconds

MX Lowe, J Rajsic, S Ferber, DB Walther - Cortex, 2018 - Elsevier
Humans have the ability to make sense of the world around them in only a single glance.
This astonishing feat requires the visual system to extract information from our environment …

Early and late components of visual categorization: an event-related potential study

A Antal, S Keri, G Kovacs, Z Janka, G Benedek - Cognitive brain research, 2000 - Elsevier

Diagnostic colors mediate scene recognition

A Oliva, PG Schyns - Cognitive psychology, 2000 - Elsevier
In this research, we aim to ground scene recognition on information other than the identity of
component objects. Specifically we seek to understand the structure of color cues that allows …
