Attentional priming has a dominating influence on vision, speeding visual search, releasing
items from crowding, reducing masking effects, and during free-choice, primed targets are …

When we see a stimulus, eg a star-shaped object, our intuition is that we should perceive a
single, coherent percept (even if it is inaccurate). But the neural processes that support …

While the visual world is rich and complex, importantly, it nevertheless contains many
statistical regularities. For example, environmental feature distributions tend to remain …

When two brief vibrotactile stimulations are sequentially applied to observers' lower back,
there is systematic mislocalization of the stimulation: if the second stimulation is of higher …

The visual system is sensitive to statistical properties of complex scenes and can encode
feature probability distributions in detail. But does the brain use these statistics to build …

Visual estimates of stimulus features are systematically biased toward the features of
previously encountered stimuli. Such serial dependencies have often been linked to how the …

The visual world is full of detail. This Element focuses on this variability in perception, asking
how it affects performance in visual tasks and how the variability is represented by human …

Current theories of perception suggest that the brain represents features of the world as
probability distributions, but can such uncertain foundations provide the basis for everyday …

Abstract Go/No-Go responses in visual search yield different estimates of the operation of
visual attention than more standard present versus absent tasks. Such minor methodological …

Just as the epistemic theory of probability (ie Bayesianism) interprets probability as a kind of
belief—namely, rational probabilistic belief—the epistemic theory of causality interprets …
