Visual processing of natural scenes is carried out in a hierarchical sequence of stages that
involve the analysis of progressively more complex features of the visual input. Recent …

The investigation of visual categorization has recently been aided by the introduction of
deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which achieve unprecedented accuracy in …

Learned Categorical Perception (CP) occurs when the members of different categories
come to look more dissimilar (“between-category separation”) and/or members of the same …

What we see influences our emotions. Technology often mediates the visual content we
perceive. Visual angle is an essential parameter of how we see such content. It …

Although categorization can take place at different levels of abstraction, classic studies on
semantic labeling identified the basic level, for example, dog, as entry point for …

Economic decision making refers to the process of individuals translating their preference
into subjective value (SV). Little is known about the dynamics of the neural processes that …

Understanding natural scenes involves the contribution of bottom–up analysis and top–
down modulatory processes. However, the interaction of these processes during the …

Demands on directed attention can result in attentional fatigue, inhibiting our ability to
voluntarily direct attention to important features of our surroundings. Inherently fascinating …

The goal of the present research was to study the time course of lexical stress encoding in a
free-stress language with unpredictable stress. To this aim we measured event-related brain …

Human-computer interfaces have the potential to support mental health practitioners in
alleviating mental distress. Adaption of this technology in practice is, however, slow. We …
