Background: How do we recognize visually perceived three-dimensional objects,
particularly when they are seen from novel view-points? Recent psychophysical studies …

How we recognize faces despite rotations in depth is of great interest to psychologists,
computer scientists and neurophysiologists because of the accuracy of human performance …

Visual cognition, high-level vision, mid-level vision and top-down processing all refer to
decision-based scene analyses that combine prior knowledge with retinal input to generate …

On the whole, people recognize objects best when they see the objects from a familiar view
and worse when they see the objects from views that were previously occluded from sight …

An investigation was made into the sensitivity of cells in the macaque superior temporal
sulcus (STS) to the sight of different perspective views of the head. This allowed assessment …

We investigated implicit memory for unfamiliar objects with a task in which subjects decided
whether structurally possible and impossible line drawings could exist in three-dimensional …

A key question concerning the perception of 3D objects is the spatial reference frame used
by the brain to represent them. The celerity of the recognition process could be explained by …

Object recognition and categorization research are both concerned with understanding how
input information matches object information in memory. It is therefore surprising that these …

The assumption that figure-ground segmentation must precede object or shape recognition
has been central to theories of visual perception We showed that assumption to be incorrect …

Recent physiological findings are reviewed and synthesized into a model of shape
processing and object recognition. Gestalt laws (eg good continuation, closure) and 'non …
