Although humans are the only species to possess language-driven abstract mathematical
capacities, we share with many other animals a nonverbal capacity for estimating quantities …

How an object is perceived depends on the temporal context in which it is encountered.
Sensory signals in the brain also depend on temporal context, a phenomenon often referred …

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 …

The appearance of faces can be strongly affected by the characteristics of faces viewed
previously. These perceptual after-effects reflect processes of sensory adaptation that are …

Visual coding is a highly dynamic process and continuously adapting to the current viewing
context. The perceptual changes that result from adaptation to recently viewed stimuli …

No sensory stimulus is an island unto itself; rather, it can only properly be interpreted in light
of the stimuli that surround it in space and time. This can result in entertaining illusions and …

Perceptual systems face competing requirements: improving signal-to-noise ratios of noisy
images, by integration; and maximising sensitivity to change, by differentiation. Both …

Much evidence has accumulated to suggest that many animals, including young human
infants, possess an abstract sense of approximate quantity, a number sense. Most research …

Identification of a face is facilitated by adapting to its computationally opposite identity,
suggesting that the average face functions as a norm for coding identity [Leopold, DA …

The interocular suppression technique termed continuous flash suppression (CFS) has
become an immensely popular tool for investigating visual processing outside of awareness …
