To understand visual consciousness, we must understand how the brain represents
ensembles of objects at many levels of perceptual analysis. Ensemble perception refers to …

It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance
are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging …

From moment to moment, we perceive objects in the world as continuous despite
fluctuations in their image properties due to factors like occlusion, visual noise, and eye …

Why do some social problems seem so intractable? In a series of experiments, we show that
people often respond to decreases in the prevalence of a stimulus by expanding their …

Every instant of perception depends on a cascade of brain processes calibrated to the
history of sensory and decisional events. In the present work, we show that human visual …

Research favoring the so-called bottom-up and top-down classes of explanations for
reversible figures that dominated the literature in last half of the 20th century is reviewed …

Adaptation is fundamental to life. All organisms adapt over timescales that span from
evolution to generations and lifetimes to moment-by-moment interactions. The nervous …

Sensory systems exhibit mechanisms of neural adaptation, which adjust neuronal activity on
the basis of recent stimulus history. In primary visual cortex (V1) in particular, adaptation …

Long waits online undermine users' evaluations of Web sites and their providers, triggering
abandonment behaviors. Yet e-business researchers and practitioners have not perfected …

What has transpired immediately before has a strong influence on how sensory stimuli are
processed and perceived. In particular, temporal context can have contrastive effects …
