A real-time visual processing theory is developed to explain how three-dimensional form,
color, and brightness percepts are coherently synthesized. The theory describes how …

Previous studies often revealed a right-hemisphere specialization for processing the global
level of compound visual stimuli. Here we explore whether a similar specialization exists for …

Cast shadows have been shown to provide an effective ordinal cue to the depth position of
objects. In the present study, two experiments investigated the effectiveness of cast shadows …

Our understanding of visual processing in general, and contour integration in particular, has
undergone great change over the last 10 years. There is now an accumulation of …

In the present study, we asked whether contour interaction undergoes significant changes
for different luminance levels in the central and peripheral visual field. This study included …

Contour integration plays an important role in linking local elements into global shape and
the binding strength among local elements depends on both orientation and position …

Studies have shown that spatial aftereffects increase with eccentricity. Here, we demonstrate
that the shape-frequency and shape-amplitude aftereffects, which describe the perceived …

The research literature on the processes and mechanisms underlying illusory contour
perception has been proliferating in recent years. Yet, what exactly do we know about …

The magnitudes of chromatic and achromatic edge contrast are statistically independent and
thus provide independent information, which can be used for object-contour perception …

Thevisual system can use a rich variety of contours to segment visual scenes into distinct
perceptually coherent regions. However, successfully segmenting an image is a …
