Objects are the core meaningful elements in our visual environment. Classic theories of
object vision focus upon object recognition and are elegant and simple. Some of their …

Visual object understanding includes processes at the nexus of visual perception and visual
cognition. A traditional approach separates questions that are more associated with …

In natural vision, objects appear at typical locations, both with respect to visual space (eg, an
airplane in the upper part of a scene) and other objects (eg, a lamp above a table). Recent …

Theories of visual object recognition must solve the problem of recognizing 3D objects given
that perceivers only receive 2D patterns of light on their retinae. Recent findings from human …

Object perception may involve seeing, recognition, preparation of actions, and emotional
responses—functions that human brain imaging and neuropsychology suggest are localized …

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 …

How does the brain learn to recognize an object from multiple viewpoints while scanning a
scene with eye movements? How does the brain avoid the problem of erroneously …

Understanding how biological visual systems recognize objects is one of the ultimate goals
in computational neuroscience. From the computational viewpoint of learning, different …

Significant progress has been made in understanding vision by combining computational
and neuroscientific constraints. However, for the most part these integrative approaches …

It is an exciting time to study visual object perception. Although object perception research
has a long tradition, lately its visibility in cognitive science and neuroscience has greatly …
