Do you wonder how movies–sequences of static frames–appear to move, or why 3-D films
look different from traditional movies? Why does ventriloquism work, and why can airliner …

Amblyopia is a reduction of visual functions that cannot be attributed directly to the effect of
any structural abnormality of the eye or the posterior visual pathway. It is caused by …

Task-specific improvement in performance after training is well established. The finding that
learning is stimulus-specific and does not transfer well between different stimuli, between …

Masking and crowding are major phenomena associated with contextual modulations, but
the relationship between them remains unclear. We have recently shown that crowding is …

Visual cognition of observers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) seems to show an
unbalance between the complementary functions of integration and segregation. This study …

We measured the properties of interocular suppression in strabismic amblyopes and
compared these to dichoptic masking in binocularly normal observers. We used a dichoptic …

Collinear facilitation is a common phenomenon in the fovea, but it has been recently
challenged at the human periphery. Since physiological studies show that facilitation is …

Whether or not multisensory interactions can improve detection thresholds, and thus widen
the range of perceptible events is a long-standing debate. Here we revisit this question, by …

Perceptual learning (PL) has shown promise in enhancing residual visual functions in
patients with age-related macular degeneration (MD), however it requires prolonged training …

Neural and perceptual responses to a visual stimulus can be suppressed by the addition of
both spatially overlapping and spatially adjacent contextual stimuli. We investigated the …
