Sighted animals extract motion information from visual scenes by processing spatiotemporal
patterns of light falling on the retina. The dominant models for motion estimation exploit …

In movies or on TV, a wheel can seem to rotate backwards, due to the temporal subsampling
inherent in the recording process (the wagon wheel illusion). Surprisingly, this effect has …

Humans can learn to abstract and conceptualize the shared visual features defining an
object category in object learning. Therefore, learning is generalizable to transformations of …

Graphics processing units (GPUs) have been revolutionizing the way computer graphics
and visualization are practiced. Driven by the computer-games industry and its demand for …

We examined whether the detection of audio–visual temporal synchrony is determined by a
pre-attentive parallel process, or by an attentive serial process using a visual search …

All animals must transform ambiguous sensory data into successful behavior. This requires
sensory representations that accurately reflect the statistics of natural stimuli and behavior …

This study investigates four key issues concerning the binocular properties of the
mechanisms that encode global motion in human vision:(1) the extent of any binocular …

Using the external noise plus training paradigm, we have consistently found that two
independent mechanisms, stimulus enhancement and external noise exclusion, support …

The job of any sensory system is to create objects in the world out of the incoming proximal
stimulus energy. The energy is neutral; it does not specify the objects itself. Thus, sensory …

Cognitive science has recently made some startling discoveries about temporal experience,
and these discoveries have been drafted into philosophical service. We survey recent …
