Core object recognition, the ability to rapidly recognize objects despite variations in their
appearance, is largely solved through the feedforward processing of visual information …

The primary visual cortex (V1) is the principal telencephalic recipient of visual input in
humans and monkeys. It is unique among cortical areas in that its destruction results in …

Visual perception involves the rapid formation of a coarse image representation at the onset
of visual processing, which is iteratively refined by late computational processes. These …

The present paper reviews research that focuses on the dissociation between bottom-up
attention and consciousness. In particular, we focus on studies investigating spatial …

Understanding the mechanisms of unconscious processing is one of the most substantial
endeavors of cognitive science. While there are many different empirical ways to address …

When processing dynamic input, the brain balances the opposing needs of temporal
integration and sensitivity to change. We hypothesized that the visual system might resolve …

What is the primary function of consciousness in the nervous system? The answer to this
question remains enigmatic, not so much because of a lack of relevant data, but because of …

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the duration of
expressions on the recognition of microexpressions, which are closely related to deception …

A salient event in the visual field tends to attract attention and the eyes. To account for the
effects of salience on visual selection, models generally assume that the human visual …

With the advances in understanding perceptual properties of the human visual system and
constructing their computational models, efforts toward incorporating human perceptual …
