Any cognitive function is mediated by a network of many cortical sites whose activity is
orchestrated through complex temporal dynamics. To understand cognition, we need to …

Visual scene analysis in humans has been characterized by the presence of regions in
extrastriate cortex that are selectively responsive to scenes compared with objects or faces …

Sounds in everyday life seldom appear in isolation. Both humans and machines are
constantly flooded with a cacophony of sounds that need to be sorted through and scoured …

Abstract Representations learned by deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for object
recognition are a widely investigated model of the processing hierarchy in the human visual …

To interact with objects in complex environments, we must know what they are and where
they are in spite of challenging viewing conditions. Here, we investigated where, how and …

To form a percept of the environment, the brain needs to solve the binding problem—
inferring whether signals come from a common cause and are integrated or come from …

Animacy and real-world size are properties that describe any object and thus bring basic
order into our perception of the visual world. Here, we investigated how the human brain …

How and which aspects of neural activity give rise to subjective perceptual experience—ie
conscious perception—is a fundamental question of neuroscience. To date, the vast majority …

Natural environments convey information through multiple sensory modalities, all of which
contribute to people's percepts. Although it has been shown that visual or auditory content of …

Natural images containing affective scenes are used extensively to investigate the neural
mechanisms of visual emotion processing. Functional fMRI studies have shown that these …
