To explain how multiple visual objects are attended and perceived, we propose that our
visual system first selects a fixed number of about four objects from a crowded scene based …

Visual cognition, high-level vision, mid-level vision and top-down processing all refer to
decision-based scene analyses that combine prior knowledge with retinal input to generate …

Our visual system can process information at both conscious and unconscious levels.
Understanding the factors that control whether a stimulus reaches our awareness, and the …

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 …

Arguably the most foundational principle in perception research is that our experience of the
world goes beyond the retinal image; we perceive the distal environment itself, not the …

The constructive nature of perception can be demonstrated under viewing conditions that
lead to vivid subjective impressions in the absence of direct input. When a low-contrast …

The ability of the human visual system to recognize partially occluded objects is a striking
feat, which has received extensive psychophysical documentation. Here we studied the …

Meaningful visual experience requires computations that identify objects as the same
persisting individuals over time, motion, occlusion, and featural change. This article explores …

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 …

Coherent visual experience of dynamic scenes requires not only that the visual system
segment scenes into component objects but that these object representations persist, so that …
