Despite many years of research on the neural correlates of consciousness (NCCs), it is still
unclear how the detailed contents of consciousness are represented in the human brain. It is …

Is there a theory that explains the essence of consciousness? Or is consciousness itself an
illusion? Am I conscious now? Now considered the'last great mystery of science' …

Artificial scotomas positioned within peripheral dynamic noise fade perceptually during
visual fixation (that is, the surrounding dynamic noise appears to fill-in the scotoma) …

Visual illusions provide valuable insights into the brain's interpretation of the world given
sensory inputs. However, the precise manner in which brain activity translates into illusory …

Both surface luminance and edge contrast of an object are essential features for object
identification. However, cortical processing of surface luminance remains unclear. In this …

Seminal work in the early nineties revealed that the visual receptive field of neurons in cat

It is known that when a colored surface is viewed for some time and a blank screen is
presented afterwards, an afterimage can be perceived in the complementary color. Color …

Human visual perception is a fundamentally relational process: Lightness perception
