Over the past decade, multivariate “decoding analyses” have become a popular alternative
to traditional mass-univariate analyses in neuroimaging research. However, a fundamental …

In our daily lives, we are bombarded with a stream of rapidly changing visual input. Humans
have the remarkable capacity to detect and identify objects in fast-changing scenes. Yet …

Multivariate decoding methods applied to neuroimaging data have become the standard in
cognitive neuroscience for unravelling statistical dependencies between brain activation …

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 …

The fusiform cortex is a part of the ventral visual stream and is typically associated with face
processing. Indeed, a subregion of the fusiform has been named the “fusiform face area” or …

When adults see a picture of an object, they automatically process how big the object
typically is in the real world (Konkle & Oliva, 2012a). How much life experience is needed for …

Adults exhibit relative behavioral difficulties in processing inanimate, artificial faces
compared to real human faces, with implications for using artificial faces in research and …

Multivariate decoding methods applied to neuroimaging data have become the standard in
cognitive neuroscience for unravelling statistical dependencies between brain activation …

Two separate lines of research in object recognition are studies of materials perception and
studies of real-world object size perception. Recent object size investigations of texture …

We intuitively feel that we see almost everything that is in front of us, but one of the
foundational discoveries of cognitive psychology is that this intuition is false: during nearly …
