Inferior temporal cortex (IT) is a key part of the ventral visual pathway implicated in object,
face, and scene perception. But how does IT work? Here, I describe an organizational …

Abstract Hering's Opponent-Colors Theory has been central to understanding color
appearance for 150 years. It aims to explain the phenomenology of colors with two linked …

What determines how languages categorize colors? We analyzed results of the World Color
Survey (WCS) of 110 languages to show that despite gross differences across languages …

Color-biased regions have been found between face-and place-selective areas in the
ventral visual pathway. To investigate the function of the color-biased regions in a pathway …

Visual working memory (VWM), the ability to temporarily maintain and manipulate
information, underlies a variety of critical high-level behaviours from directing attention,,–to …

The Old World macaque monkey and New World common marmoset provide fundamental
models for human visual processing, yet the human ancestral lineage diverged from these …

Serial dependence, how immediately preceding experiences bias our current estimations,
has been described experimentally during delayed-estimation of many different visual …

Our visual system consciously processes only a subset of the incoming information.
Selective attention allows us to prioritize relevant inputs, and can be allocated to features …

Languages vary in their number of color terms. A widely accepted theory proposes that
languages evolve, acquiring color terms in a stereotyped sequence. This theory, by Berlin …

Selective attention improves sensory processing of relevant information but can also impact
the quality of perception. For example, attention increases visual discrimination performance …
