Seeing seems effortless, despite the need to segregate and integrate visual information that
varies in quality, quantity, and location. The extent to which seeing passively recapitulates …

An emerging neuropathological theory of Autism, referred to here as “the neural unreliability
thesis,” proposes greater variability in moment-to-moment cortical representation of …

Individuals on the autism spectrum often exhibit atypicality in their sensory perception, but
the neural underpinnings of these perceptual differences remain incompletely understood …

Visual neurons respond more vigorously to an attended stimulus than an unattended one.
How the brain prepares for response gain in anticipation of that stimulus is not well …

Inhibition and excitation form two fundamental modes of neuronal interaction, yet we
understand relatively little about their distinct roles in service of perceptual and cognitive …

Contour integration, the linking of collinear but disconnected visual elements across space,
is an essential facet of object and scene perception. Here, we set out to arbitrate between …

Using event-related potentials (ERPs) we investigated the influence of object knowledge on
perceiving partly occluded shapes. We created stimuli based on well-known objects of …

Background: Abnormalities in γ oscillations (30–100 Hz) in the scalp-recorded
electroencephalogram (EEG) have been proposed to reflect neural circuitry abnormalities in …

Visual selection of illusory 'Kanizsa'figures, an assembly of local elements that induce the
percept of a whole object, is facilitated relative to configurations composed of the same local …

Background Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are associated with altered sensory
processing and perception. Scalp recordings of electrical brain activity time-locked to …
