A considerable amount of psychological research has been devoted to understanding
conceptual changes that occur as a result of domain-specific expertise. This research …

A new account of how we perceive the 3D shapes of objects and how to design machines
that can see shapes the way we do. The uniqueness of shape as a perceptual property lies …

In this paper we analyse the time course of neuronal activity in temporal cortex to the sight of
the head and body. Previous studies have already demonstrated the impact of view …

Under some circumstances, Diptera and Hymenoptera learn visual shapes retinotopically,
so that they only recognize the shape when it is viewed by the same region of retina that was …

Humans often evidence little difficulty at recognizing objects from arbitrary orientations in
depth. According to one class of theories, this competence is based on generalization from …

Human spatial encoding of three-dimensional navigable space was studied, using a virtual
environment simulation. This allowed subjects to become familiar with a realistic scene by …

Evidence from neurophysiological and psychological studies is coming together to shed
light on how we represent and recognize objects. This review describes evidence …

In previous research, replicated here, we found that some object recognition processes
influence figure-ground organization. We have proposed that these object recognition …

The rapid growth of neural network research has led to a major reappraisal of many
fundamental assumptions in cognitive and perceptual psychology. This text—aimed at the …

The report addresses the problem of visual recognition under two sources of variability:
geometric and photometric. The geometric deals with the relation between 3D objects and …
