Illusory contours (IC) have attracted a considerable interest in recent years to derive models
of how sensory information is processed and integrated within the visual system. In addition …

Seeing seems effortless, despite the need to segregate and integrate visual information that
varies in quality, quantity, and location. The extent to which seeing passively recapitulates …

An inattentional blindness paradigm was adapted to measure ERPs elicited by visual
contour patterns that were or were not consciously perceived. In the first phase of the …

An essential part of visual perception is the grouping of local elements (such as edges and
lines) into coherent shapes. Previous studies have shown that this grouping process …

We have previously demonstrated that the mere organization of some elements in the visual
field into an object attracts attention automatically. Here, we explored three different aspects …

Individuals on the autism spectrum often exhibit atypicality in their sensory perception, but
the neural underpinnings of these perceptual differences remain incompletely understood …

Visual working memory (VWM) is typically considered to represent complete objects—that is,
separate parts of an object are maintained as bound objects. Yet it remains unclear whether …

Object configurations can be perceptually represented at various hierarchical levels. For
example, in visual search, global Kanizsa figures are detected efficiently, whereas search for …

The human visual system consists of multiple topographic maps that extend from the early
visual cortex (EVC) along the dorsal and ventral processing streams. Responses to illusory …

Perception of illusory contours was shown to be a consequence of neural activity related to
spatial integration in early visual areas. Candidates for such filling-in phenomena are long …
