In a recent article, Pelli, Palomares, and Majaj (2004) suggested that feature binding is
mediated by hard-wired integration fields instead of a spotlight of spatial attention (as …

To what extent does the visual system process color and form separately? Proponents of the
segregation view claim that distinct regions of the cortex are dedicated to each of these two …

If the target in a crowding display differs from the distracters in its contrast polarity, the extent
of crowding is reduced compared to the condition where all the elements in the display have …

One of the main tasks of vision is to individuate and recognize specific objects. Unlike the
detection of basic features, object individuation is strictly limited in capacity. Previous studies …

The aim of the present study was to review the tasks that have been used to assess the
functioning of the episodic buffer in Baddeley's multicomponent model of working memory. A …

Choice behavior and its neural correlates have been intensely studied with tasks in which a
subject makes a perceptual judgment and indicates the result with a motor action. Yet a …

Crowding occurs when nearby flankers jumble the appearance of a target object, making it
hard to identify. Crowding is feature integration over an inappropriately large region. What …

Recent psychophysical studies have demonstrated that periodic attention in the 4–8 Hz
range facilitates performance on visual detection. The present study examined the …

Processing the vast amount of visual information available from the world ought to pose a
significant challenge to the brain. One of the ways in which the brain appears to encode the …

The role of attention in conjoining features of an object has been a topic of much debate.
Studies using the mismatch negativity (MMN), an index of detecting acoustic deviance …
