Random dot cinematograms were used to probe motion perception in human observers
ranging from 23 to 81years of age. Stimuli were either broadband directional Noise, which …

Numerous innocent people have been sent to jail based directly or indirectly on normal, but
flawed, human perception, memory and decision making. Current cognitive-science …

There has been extensive work using early event-related potentials (ERPs) to study visual
object processing. ERP analyses focus traditionally on mean amplitude differences, with the …

The current experiments measured orientation discrimination thresholds in younger (mean
age≈ 23 years) and older (mean age≈ 66 years) subjects. In Experiment 1, the contrast …

Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) have been found to have impairments in
some face recognition tasks [eg, Boucher, J., & Lewis, V.(1992). Unfamiliar face recognition …

Faces, more than other objects, are identified more accurately when upright than inverted.
This inversion effect may be linked to differences in expertise. Here, we explore how …

Visual perception is limited by both the strength of the neural signals, and by the noise in the
visual nervous system. Here we use one-dimensional white noise as input, to study the …

Learning is critical for fast and efficient object recognition in primates. To understand the
neuronal correlates of behavioral improvements due to training, we recorded the responses …

A series of experiments examined short-term recognition memory for trios of briefly
presented, synthetic human faces derived from three real human faces. The stimuli were a …

A common finding in oddity search, a search in which the target is unknown but defined to
be different from the distractors, is that human performance remains insensitive or even …
