This is a survey of psychophysical studies of motion perception carried out mainly in the last
10 years. It covers a wide range of topics, including the detection and interactions of local …

Psychometric sensory discrimination functions are usually modeled by cumulative Gaussian
functions with just two parameters, their central tendency (μ) and their slope (1/σ). These …

Our ability to recognize objects in peripheral vision is fundamentally limited by crowding, the
deleterious effect of clutter that disrupts the recognition of features ranging from orientation …

Vision: Thinking Globally, Acting Locally: Current Biology Skip to Main Content Advertisement
Current Biology This journal offers authors two options (open access or subscription) to publish …

Traditional theories of visual perception have focused on either form or motion processing,
implying a functional separation. However, increasing evidence indicates that these features …

Optic flow is one of the most important sources of information for enabling human navigation
through the world. A striking finding from single-cell studies in monkeys is the rapid …

The output of primary visual cortex (V1) is a piecemeal representation of the visual scene
and the response of any one cell cannot unambiguously guide sensorimotor behavior. It …

When observers view a naturalistic (1/f) broadband image, the various spatial components
present in the image stimulate many detecting-mechanisms that suppress each other. This …
