The visual expertise of adult humans is jointly determined by evolution, visual development
and visual perceptual learning. Perceptual learning refers to performance improvements in …

Magnitude-sensitivity refers to the result that performance in decision-making, across
domains and organisms, is affected by the total value of the possible alternatives. This …

Visual snow syndrome is a neurological condition characterized by a persistent visual
disturbance, visual snow, in conjunction with additional visual symptoms. Cortical …

Decisions between two economic goods can be swayed by a third unavailable
'decoy'alternative, which does not compete for choice, notoriously violating the principles of …

To explore the relative contributions of higher-order and primary visual cortex (V1) to visual
perception, we compared cats' behavioral and V1 neuronal contrast sensitivity functions …

Surround suppression (SS) is a phenomenon that a neuron's response to visual stimuli
within the classical receptive field (cRF) is suppressed by a concurrent stimulation in the …

Perceptual confidence typically corresponds to accuracy. However, observers can be
overconfident relative to accuracy, termed “subjective inflation.” Inflation is stronger in the …

Visual pathways are inherently stochastic and thus noisy. Such fluctuation is generally
considered to be a nuisance, actually, it shows potential benefits to perceptual alteration …

Neural noise is an inherent property of all nervous systems. However, the mechanisms by
which such random and fluctuating neural activity influences perception are still unclear. To …

Perceptual decision-making has been extensively modeled using the ideal observer
framework. However, a range of deviations from optimality demand an extension of this …
