Events can be understood in terms of their temporal structure. The authors first draw on
several bodies of research to construct an analysis of how people use event structure in …

Research and theory on categorization and conceptual structure have recently undergone
two major shifts. The first shift is from the assumption that concepts have defining properties …

Understanding object representations requires a broad, comprehensive sampling of the
objects in our visual world with dense measurements of brain activity and behavior. Here …

Abstracting complex 3D shapes with parsimonious part-based representations has been a
long standing goal in computer vision. This paper presents a learning-based solution to this …

Computer vision is embracing a new research focus in which the aim is to develop visual
skills for robots that allow them to interact with a dynamic, realistic environment. To achieve …

The perceptual recognition of objects is conceptualized to be a process in which the image
of the input is segmented at regions of deep concavity into an arrangement of simple …

This long-awaited work by prominent Harvard psychologist Stephen Kosslyn integrates a
twenty-year research program on the nature of high-level vision and mental imagery. Image …

In this article we review some new evidence relating to early visual processing and propose
an explanatory framework. A series of search experiments tested detection of targets …

We ask if certain dimensions of perceptual similarity are weighted more heavily than others
in determining word extension. The specific dimensions examined were shape, size, and …

Sensation and perception are fascinating topics, yet a major gap often separates the
richness of our perceptual experiences and the pallid, academic discussion of these …
