Since the original characterization of the ventral visual pathway, our knowledge of its
neuroanatomy, functional properties, and extrinsic targets has grown considerably. Here we …

Abstract In 1909, Abbott Thayer suggested that the study of animal coloration lies in the
domain of artists because it deals with optical illusions. He proposed, for example, that prey …

The three-volume work Perceiving in Depth is a sequel to Binocular Vision and Stereopsis
and to Seeing in Depth, both by Ian P. Howard and Brian J. Rogers. This work is much …

The surface area of human primary visual cortex (V1) varies substantially between
individuals for unknown reasons. We found that this variability was strongly and negatively …

The bottom-up contribution to the allocation of exogenous attention is a saliency map,
whose neural substrate is hard to identify because of possible contamination by top-down …

The pupil constricts in response to light increments and dilates with light decrements. Here
we show that a picture of the sun, introducing a small overall decrease in light level across …

Population receptive field (pRF) models fit to fMRI data are used to non-invasively measure
retinotopic maps in human visual cortex, and these maps are a fundamental component of …

An afterimage looks larger when one fixates on a distant than on a closer surface. We show
that the retinotopic activity in the primary visual cortex (V1) associated with viewing an …

Early retinotopic cortex has traditionally been viewed as containing a veridical
representation of the low-level properties of the image, not imbued by high-level …

In the Ebbinghaus illusion, the context surrounding an object modulates its subjectively
perceived size. Previous work implicates human primary visual cortex (V1) as the neural …
