We summarize the various strands of research on peripheral vision and relate them to
theories of form perception. After a historical overview, we describe quantifications of the …

An ideal observer is a hypothetical device that performs optimally in a perceptual task given
the available information. The theory of ideal observers has proven to be a powerful and …

The degree of confidence in a decision provides a graded and probabilistic assessment of
expected outcome. Although neural mechanisms of perceptual decisions have been studied …

Lateral intraparietal (LIP) neurons represent formation of perceptual decisions involving eye
movements. In circuit models for these decisions, neural ensembles that encode actions …

Reverse correlation (RC) techniques provide a data-driven approach to model internal
representations in an unconstrained way. Here, we used this approach to model social …

Faces are perceived holistically, a phenomenon best illustrated when the processing of a
face feature is affected by the other features. Here, the authors tested the hypothesis that the …

We address two main challenges facing systems neuroscience today: understanding the
nature and function of cortical feedback between sensory areas and of correlated variability …

This pioneering work brings together recommendations sanctioned by the International
Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) and documents 40 years of cutting-edge …

Humans are remarkably adept at recognizing objects across a wide range of views. A
notable exception to this general rule is that turning a face upside down makes it particularly …

The ModelFest data set was created to provide a public source of data to test and calibrate
models of foveal spatial contrast detection. It consists of contrast thresholds for 43 foveal …
