How does one find objects in scenes? For decades, visual search models have been built
on experiments in which observers search for targets, presented among distractor items …

Humans optimize behavior by deriving context-based expectations. Contextual data that are
important for survival are extracted rapidly, using coarse information, adaptive decision …

Human observers are able to rapidly and accurately categorize natural scenes, but the
representation mediating this feat is still unknown. Here we propose a framework of rapid …

Which region of the visual field is most useful for recognizing scene gist, central vision (the
fovea and parafovea) based on its higher visual resolution and importance for object …

What role does the initial glimpse of a scene play in subsequent eye movement guidance?
In 4 experiments, a brief scene preview was followed by object search through the scene via …

We examined the limits of visual resolution in natural scene viewing, using a gaze-
contingent multiresolutional display having a gaze-centred area-of-interest and decreasing …

Humans and animals use information obtained from different viewpoints to form
representations of the spatial structure of the world. We used functional magnetic resonance …

The eye movements made by viewers of natural images often feature a predominance of
horizontal saccades. Can this behaviour be explained by the distribution of saliency around …

Traditionally, recognizing the objects within a scene has been treated as a prerequisite to
recognizing the scene itself. However, research now suggests that the ability to rapidly …

Real-world scene perception can often involve more than one sensory modality. Here we
investigated the visual, haptic and crossmodal recognition of scenes of familiar objects. In …
