Contextual modulation refers to the effect of texture placed outside of a neuron's classical
receptive field as well as the effect of surround texture on the perceptual properties of …

Human observers can rapidly judge the number of items in a scene. This ability is
underpinned by specific mechanisms encoding number or density. We investigated whether …

Research has shown that body size judgements are frequently biased, or inaccurate.
Critically, judgement biases are further exaggerated for individuals with eating disorders, a …

In conflict with historically dominant models of time perception, recent evidence suggests
that the encoding of our environment's temporal properties may not require a separate class …

In biological vision, contextual modulation refers to the influence of a surround pattern on
either the perception of, or the neural responses to, a target pattern. One studied form of …

Shape-adaptation studies show that surround textures can inhibit the processing of
contours. Using event-related potentials (ERP), we examined the time-course of neural …

Contour-shape coding is color selective (Gheorghiu & Kingdom, 2007a) and surround
textures inhibit the processing of contour shapes (Gheorghiu & Kingdom, 2011; Kingdom & …

Object recognition suffers when objects are rotated-in-depth, as for example with changes to
viewing angle. However the loss of recognition can be mitigated by stereoscopic cues …

Evidence that contour-shapes and texture-shapes are processed by different mechanisms
included the finding that contour-shape aftereffects are reduced when the adaptation …

Recent research and modeling proposes that a closed shape is accurately described by
both the curvature and angular location of its parts relative to the shape center, implying that …
