Sensory systems continuously mold themselves to the widely varying contexts in which they
must operate. Studies of these adaptations have played a long and central role in vision …

Traditional memory research has focused on identifying separate memory systems and
exploring different stages of memory processing. This approach has been valuable for …

Visual coding is a highly dynamic process and continuously adapting to the current viewing
context. The perceptual changes that result from adaptation to recently viewed stimuli …

When remembering a real-world scene, people encode both detailed information about
specific objects and higher order information like the overall gist of the scene. However …

Behavioral and computational studies suggest that visual scene analysis rapidly produces a
rich description of both the objects and the spatial layout of surfaces in a scene. However …

Since the discovery of three scene-selective regions in the human brain, a central
assumption has been that all three regions directly support navigation. We propose instead …

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 …

How do we know that a kitchen is a kitchen by looking? Traditional models posit that scene
categorization is achieved through recognizing necessary and sufficient features and …

Scene processing is fundamentally influenced and constrained by spatial layout and spatial
associations with objects. However, semantic information has played a vital role in …

According to recent theories, perception relies on summary representations that encode
statistical information about the sensory environment. Here, we used perceptual priming to …
