Attentional priming has a dominating influence on vision, speeding visual search, releasing
items from crowding, reducing masking effects, and during free-choice, primed targets are …

Physically salient but task-irrelevant stimuli have high attentional priority, although observers
are able to capitalize on statistical regularities in the environment to more efficiently ignore …

Ensemble perception refers to the visual system's ability to efficiently represent groups of
similar objects as a unified percept using their summary statistical information. Most studies …

It is well known that observers can use so-called summary statistics of visual ensembles to
simplify perceptual processing. The assumption has been that instead of representing …

Humans are surprisingly good at learning the statistical characteristics of their visual
environment. Recent studies have revealed that not only can the visual system learn …

The visual world is full of detail. This Element focuses on this variability in perception, asking
how it affects performance in visual tasks and how the variability is represented by human …

Current theories of perception suggest that the brain represents features of the world as
probability distributions, but can such uncertain foundations provide the basis for everyday …

Superstitious beliefs are embraced among healthcare providers regardless of the lack of, or
inconsistency in, scientific validation. Previous research identified the belief that the …

One idea of how our visual systems process the information obtained from our environment
is with ensemble perception by means of summary statistics. Here we present findings from …
