Every aspect of vision, from the opsin proteins to the eyes and the ways that they serve
animal behavior, is incredibly diverse. It is only with an evolutionary perspective that this …

It usually only takes a single glance to categorize our environment into different scene
categories (eg a kitchen or a highway). Object information has been suggested to play a …

Real-world scenes consist of objects, defined by local information, and scene background,
defined by global information. Although objects and scenes are processed in separate …

Predictive coding models can simulate known perceptual or neuronal phenomena, but there
have been fewer attempts to identify a reliable neural signature of predictive coding for …

The ability to quickly and accurately categorize our environment into meaningful scene
categories has been linked to the fast processing of global scene properties. Here, we …

The perception of opportunities and threats in complex visual scenes represents one of the
main functions of the human visual system. The underlying neurophysiology is often studied …

Drawings offer a simple and efficient way to communicate meaning. While line drawings
capture only coarsely how objects look in reality, we still perceive them as resembling real …

The basic computations performed in the human early visual cortex are the foundation for
visual perception. While we know a lot about these computations, a key missing piece is …

When we observe another person's actions, we process many kinds of information–from
how their body moves to the intention behind their movements. What kinds of information …

The arrangement of objects in scenes follows certain rules (“Scene Grammar”), which we
exploit to perceive and interact efficiently with our environment. We have proposed that …
