How does the visual system represent continuity in the constantly changing visual input? A
recent proposal is that vision is serially dependent: Stimuli seen a moment ago influence …

Highlights•Most of the brain's early computations can be performed in a non-conscious
mode.•Conscious perception results in an amplification, propagation and integration of brain …

Recent studies claim that visual perception of stimulus features, such as orientation,
numerosity, and faces, is systematically biased toward visual input from the immediate past …

Human perceptual decisions are often described as optimal. Critics of this view have argued
that claims of optimality are overly flexible and lack explanatory power. Meanwhile …

Human perceptual decisions can be repelled away from (repulsive adaptation) or attracted
towards recent visual experience (attractive serial dependence). It is currently unclear …

On Burge's view, every percept is constituted by a" perceptual attribu tive"(that represents an
attribute) and a singular element (that represents an individual). The format of a percept is …

Every instant of perception depends on a cascade of brain processes calibrated to the
history of sensory and decisional events. In the present work, we show that human visual …

How does the brain represent the reliability of its sensory evidence? Here, we test whether
sensory uncertainty is encoded in cortical population activity as the width of a probability …

What has transpired immediately before has a strong influence on how sensory stimuli are
processed and perceived. In particular, temporal context can have contrastive effects …

Our brains are constantly adapting to changes in our visual environment. Neural adaptation
exerts a persistent influence on the activity of sensory neurons and our perceptual …
