A central goal of neuroscience is to understand the representations formed by brain activity
patterns and their connection to behaviour. The classic approach is to investigate how …

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 …

Humans are good at performing visual tasks, but experimental measurements have
revealed substantial biases in the perception of basic visual attributes. An appealing …

Sensory systems exhibit mechanisms of neural adaptation, which adjust neuronal activity on
the basis of recent stimulus history. In primary visual cortex (V1) in particular, adaptation …

Neural activity and perception are both affected by sensory history. The work presented here
explores the relationship between the physiological effects of adaptation and their …

This is a survey of psychophysical studies of motion perception carried out mainly in the last
10 years. It covers a wide range of topics, including the detection and interactions of local …

Virtually all stages of the visual system exhibit adaptation: neurons adjust their responses
based on the recent stimulus history. While some of these adjustments occur at specific …

Covert attention not only improves performance in many visual tasks but also modulates the
appearance of several visual features. Studies on attention and appearance have assessed …

Object motion in natural scenes results in visual stimuli with a rich and broad spatiotemporal
frequency spectrum. While the question of how the visual system detects and senses motion …

When adapted to a particular scenery our senses may fool us: colors are misinterpreted,
certain spatial patterns seem to fade out, and static objects appear to move in reverse. A …
