[HTML][HTML] Crowding, grouping, and object recognition: A matter of appearance

MH Herzog, B Sayim, V Chicherov… - Journal of vision, 2015 - iovs.arvojournals.org
In crowding, the perception of a target strongly deteriorates when neighboring elements are
presented. Crowding is usually assumed to have the following characteristics.(a) Crowding …

On the functions, mechanisms, and malfunctions of intracortical contextual modulation

WA Phillips, A Clark, SM Silverstein - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral …, 2015 - Elsevier
A broad neuron-centric conception of contextual modulation is reviewed and re-assessed in
the light of recent neurobiological studies of amplification, suppression, and synchronization …

[HTML][HTML] Grouping, pooling, and when bigger is better in visual crowding

M Manassi, B Sayim, MH Herzog - Journal of Vision, 2012 - iovs.arvojournals.org
In crowding, perception of a target is strongly deteriorated by nearby elements. Crowding is
often explained by pooling models predicting that adding flankers increases crowding. In …

[HTML][HTML] Grouping by proximity and the visual impression of approximate number in random dot arrays

HY Im, S Zhong, J Halberda - Vision research, 2016 - Elsevier
We address the challenges of how to model human perceptual grouping in random dot
arrays and how perceptual grouping affects human number estimation in these arrays. We …

Visual crowding cannot be wholly explained by feature pooling.

EF Ester, D Klee, E Awh - Journal of Experimental Psychology …, 2014 - psycnet.apa.org
Visual perception is dramatically impaired when a peripheral target is embedded within
clutter, a phenomenon known as visual crowding. Despite decades of study, the …

[HTML][HTML] Global and high-level effects in crowding cannot be predicted by either high-dimensional pooling or target cueing

A Bornet, OH Choung, A Doerig, D Whitney… - Journal of …, 2021 - jov.arvojournals.org
In visual crowding, the perception of a target deteriorates in the presence of nearby flankers.
Traditionally, target-flanker interactions have been considered as local, mostly deleterious …

[HTML][HTML] Multidimensional feature interactions in visual crowding: When configural cues eliminate the polarity advantage

K Rummens, B Sayim - Journal of vision, 2022 - jov.arvojournals.org
Crowding occurs when surrounding objects (flankers) impair target perception. A key
property of crowding is the weaker interference when target and flankers strongly differ on a …

[HTML][HTML] Broad attention uncovers benefits of stimulus uniformity in visual crowding

K Rummens, B Sayim - Scientific Reports, 2021 - nature.com
Crowding is the interference by surrounding objects (flankers) with target perception. Low
target-flanker similarity usually yields weaker crowding than high similarity ('similarity rule') …

[HTML][HTML] Appearance changes and error characteristics in crowding revealed by drawings

B Sayim, J Wagemans - Journal of vision, 2017 - jov.arvojournals.org
Peripheral vision is strongly limited by crowding: Targets that are easily recognized in
isolation are unrecognizable when flanked by close-by objects. Crowding does not only …

[HTML][HTML] Atypical visual field asymmetries in redundancy masking

FZ Yildirim, DR Coates, B Sayim - Journal of vision, 2022 - jov.arvojournals.org
Redundancy masking is the reduction of the perceived number of items in repeating
patterns. It shares a number of characteristics with crowding, the impairment of target …
