In this research, we aim to ground scene recognition on information other than the identity of
component objects. Specifically we seek to understand the structure of color cues that allows …

We examined the effects of colour cues on the express categorization of natural scenes.
Using a go/no-go paradigm sensitive to fast recognition processes, we measured early …

How do we know that a kitchen is a kitchen by looking? Traditional models posit that scene
categorization is achieved through recognizing necessary and sufficient features and …

The appearance of an object or surface depends strongly on the light from other objects and
surfaces in view. This review focuses on color in complex scenes, which have regions of …

In very fast recognition tasks, scenes are identified as fast as isolated objects How can this
efficiency be achieved, considering the large number of component objects and interfering …

It was recently demonstrated that detecting target objects (eg, animals) in natural scenes can
be done in a dual-task paradigm, in the near absence of spatial attention. Under the same …

Color constancy is the ability to assign a constant color to an object independent of changes
in illumination. Color constancy is achieved by taking context information into account …

In everyday experience, perceived colors of objects remain approximately constant under
changes in illumination. This constancy is helpful for identifying objects across viewing …

This study aimed at assessing the processing time of a natural scene in a fast categorization
task of its context or “gist”. In Experiment 1, human subjects performed 4 go/no-go …

Categorical perception provides a potential link between color perception and the linguistic
categories that correspond to the basic color terms. We examined whether the sensory …
