The role of spatial scales (or spatial frequencies) in the processing of faces, objects, and
scenes has recently seen a surge of research activity. In this review, we will critically …

In the future, the land system will be facing new intersecting challenges. While food demand,
especially for resource-intensive livestock based commodities, is expected to increase, the …

Efficient categorizations of complex visual stimuli require effective encodings of their
distinctive properties. However, the question remains of how processes of object and scene …

To address the fundamental question of “what are the primitives of visual perception”, a
theory of topological structure and functional hierarchy in visual perception has been …

This article presents and tests the authors' integration hypothesis of global/local processing,
which proposes that at early stages of processing, the identities of global and local units of a …

The paradigm based on using compound stimuli for studying global and local processing is
revisited. Noting that not all researchers employ compound stimuli for the same purpose, the …

We examined the neural mechanisms of functional asymmetry between hemispheres in the
processing of global and local information of hierarchical stimuli by measuring …

Objects, organisms and whatever other systems—all have their “history”. Before they exist in
the completed, fully functional or operational form these entities have gone through the …

Visual objects can often be analyzed as hierarchical in structure, composed of local
elements that are spatially arranged to form a global shape. The brain mechanisms involved …

It has been shown that transient attention enhances spatial resolution, but is the effect of
transient attention on spatial resolution modulated by the size of the attentional cue? Would …
