The nature of capacity limits for visual working memory has been the subject of an intense
debate that has relied on models that assume items are encoded independently. Here we …

Although the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) is one of the most thoroughly characterized
thalamic nuclei, its functional role remains controversial. Traditionally, the LGN in primates …

The visual system uses continuity as a cue for grouping oriented line segments that define
