Surround suppression is a well-known example of contextual interaction in visual cortical
neurophysiology, whereby the neural response to a stimulus presented within a neuron's …

If a picture is worth a thousand words, as an English idiom goes, what should those words—
or, rather, descriptors—capture? What format of image representation would be sufficiently …

Surround suppression is a well-known phenomenon in which the response to a visual
stimulus is diminished by the presence of neighboring stimuli. This effect is observed in …

Neural responses in primary visual cortex (V1) depend on stimulus context in seemingly
complex ways. For example, responses to an oriented stimulus can be suppressed when it …

It is well known that objects become grouped in perceptual organization when they share
some visual feature, like a common direction of motion. Less well known is that grouping can …

Abstract Background and Hypothesis The human visual system streamlines visual
processing by suppressing responses to textures that are similar to their surrounding …

What we see depends on the spatial context in which it appears. Previous work has linked
the suppression of perceived contrast by surrounding stimuli to reduced neural responses in …

A key visual neuronal property that is mirrored in human behaviour is centre-surround
contrast suppression, which is orientation-dependent. When a target is embedded in a high …

The visual effects of psychedelic drugs are well-known but not well understood. In this
dissertation, I investigate psychedelic visual phenomenology. I provide evidence and …

It has long been speculated that the visual system should use a coding strategy that takes
advantage of statistical redundancies in images. But how such a coding strategy should …
