We are an intensely social species—it has been argued that our social nature defines what
makes us human, what makes us conscious or what gave us our large brains. As a new …

A comprehensive picture of object processing in the human brain requires combining both
spatial and temporal information about brain activity. Here we acquired human …

How we attend to objects and their features that cannot be separated by location is not
understood. We presented two temporally and spatially overlapping streams of objects …

Visual perception can be influenced by top-down processes related to the observer's goals
and expectations, as well as by bottom-up processes related to low-level stimulus attributes …
