Following the pioneering studies of the receptive field (RF), the RF concept gained further
significance for visual perception by the discovery of input effects from beyond the classical …

Low-level perception results from neural-based computations, which build a multimodal
skeleton of unconscious or self-generated inferences on our environment. This review …

Amodal completion is the representation of those parts of the perceived object that we get no
sensory stimulation from. In the case of vision, it is the representation of occluded parts of …

Background Visual information conveyed through the extrageniculate visual pathway, which
runs from the retina via the superior colliculus (SC) and the lateral posterior nucleus (LPN) of …

Visual systems have evolved to recognize and extract features from complex scenes using
limited sensory information. Contour perception is essential to this process and can occur …

How primates perceive objects along with their detailed features remains a mystery. This
ability to make fine visual discriminations depends upon a high-acuity analysis of spatial …

Visual illusions provide valuable insights into the brain's interpretation of the world given
sensory inputs. However, the precise manner in which brain activity translates into illusory …

This book is about mental imagery and the important work it does in our mental life. It plays a
crucial role in the vast majority of our perceptual episodes. It also helps us understand many …

Modern feedforward convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can now solve some computer
vision tasks at super-human levels. However, these networks only roughly mimic human …

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 …
