The visual cortex contains information about stimuli even when they are not consciously
perceived. However, it remains unknown whether the visual system integrates local features …

Early stages of visual processing are carried out by neural circuits activated by simple and
specific features, such as the orientation of an edge. A fundamental question in human …

Even when confined to the same spatial location, flickering and steady light evoke very
different conscious experiences because of their distinct temporal patterns. The neural basis …

In organizing perception, the human visual system takes advantage of regularities in the
visual input to perceptually group related image elements. Simple stimuli that can be …

Visual perception and awareness have strict limitations. We suggest that one source of
these limitations is the representational architecture of the visual system. Under this view …

The answer as to how visual attributes processed in different brain loci at different speeds
are bound together to give us our unitary experience of the visual world remains unknown …

Neurons in early visual cortex are not only sensitive to the image elements in their receptive
field but also to the context determining whether the elements are part of an object or …

A growing body of literature suggests that feedback modulation of early visual processing is
ubiquitous and central to cortical computation. In particular stimuli with high-level content …

Visual perception involves the grouping of individual elements into coherent patterns that
reduce the descriptive complexity of a visual scene. The physiological basis of this …

A brain-imaging paper by Kastner and colleagues in 1999 was the first to demonstrate that
merely focusing attention at a spatial location changed the baseline activity level in various …
