In this paper, we propose a scene-centered representation able to provide a meaningful
description of real world images at multiple levels of categorization (from superordinate to …

Exemplar theories of categorization depend on similarity for explaining subjects' ability to
generalize to new stimuli. A major criticism of exemplar theories concerns their lack of …

When we view an object, its appearance depends in large part on specific surface
reflectance properties; among these is surface gloss, which provides important information …

Neurons in the rostral superior temporal sulcus (STS) are responsive to displays of body
movements. We employed a parametric action space to determine how similarities among …
