Crowding, generally defined as the deleterious influence of nearby contours on visual
discrimination, is ubiquitous in spatial vision. Crowding impairs the ability to recognize …

Reports published in Vision Research during the late years of the 20th century described
surprising effects of long-term sensitivity improvement with some basic visual tasks as a …

Embryonal tumours of the central nervous system (CNS) represent a heterogeneous group
of tumours about which little is known biologically, and whose diagnosis, on the basis of …

How a sensory stimulus is processed and perceived depends on the surrounding sensory
scene. In the visual cortex, contextual signals can be conveyed by an extensive network of …

SEVERAL examples of experience-dependent perceptual improve-ment (perceptual
learning) suggest that plasticity in specific neu-ronal loci could underlie the learning …

Recent research [Parkhurst, D., Law, K., & Niebur, E., 2002. Modeling the role of salience in
the allocation of overt visual attention. Vision Research 42 (1)(2002) 107–123] showed that …

A letter in the peripheral visual field is much harder to identify in the presence of nearby
letters. This is “crowding.” Both crowding and ordinary masking are special cases of …
