[HTML][HTML] Parallel processing in the brain's visual form system: an fMRI study

Y Shigihara, S Zeki - Frontiers in human neuroscience, 2014 - frontiersin.org
We here extend and complement our earlier time-based, magneto-encephalographic
(MEG), study of the processing of forms by the visual brain (Shigihara and Zeki,) with a …

Investigating shape perception by classification images

I Kurki, J Saarinen, A Hyvärinen - Journal of vision, 2014 - jov.arvojournals.org
Radial frequency (RF) patterns are circular contours where the radius is modulated
sinusoidally. These stimuli can represent a wide range of common shapes and have been …

[HTML][HTML] Global shape processing involves feature-selective and feature-agnostic coding mechanisms

J Bell, M Forsyth, DR Badcock - Journal of Vision, 2014 - tvst.arvojournals.org
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 …

[HTML][HTML] Aging and the integration of orientation and position in shape perception

E Roudaia, AB Sekuler, PJ Bennett - Journal of vision, 2014 - iovs.arvojournals.org
The current experiments examined the effect of healthy aging on the integration of
orientation and position information in shape perception. Following Day and Loffler (2009) …

Contour inflections are adaptable features

J Bell, S Sampasivam, DP McGovern… - Journal of …, 2014 - jov.arvojournals.org
An object's shape is a strong cue for visual recognition. Most models of shape coding
emphasize the role of oriented lines and curves for coding an object's shape. Yet inflection …

Perceptual binding of static and dynamic signals: a psychophysical and electrophysiological study on contour integration.

R Bellacosa Marotti - 2014 - research.unipd.it
The present work investigates the mechanisms underpinning the integration of local signals
(either local orientations, positions or directions) into whole configurations. The investigation …
