In recent years the overlap between visual perception and memory has shed light on our
understanding of both. When ambiguous images that normally cause perception to waver …

Visual input often arrives in a noisy and discontinuous stream, owing to head and eye
movements, occlusion, lighting changes, and many other factors. Yet the physical world is …

Perceptual decisions are made not only during goal-directed behavior such as choice tasks,
but also occur spontaneously while multistable stimuli are being viewed. In both contexts …

People's assessments of the state of the world often deviate systematically from the
information available to them [1]. Such biases can originate from people's own decisions …

We propose and support a salience explanation of exposure effects. We suggest that
repeated exposure to stimuli influences evaluations by increasing salience, the relative …

The emerging neurocomputational vision of humans as embodied, ecologically embedded,
social agents—who shape and are shaped by their environment—offers a golden …

Ambiguity is often associated with negative affective responses, and enjoying ambiguity
seems restricted to only a few situations, such as experiencing art. Nevertheless, theories of …

When viewing a different stimulus with each eye, we experience the remarkable
phenomenon of binocular rivalry: alternations in consciousness between the stimuli [1, 2] …

During development, within a specific temporal window called the critical period, the
mammalian visual cortex is highly plastic and literally shaped by visual experience; to what …

Binocular rivalry is a phenomenon that occurs when a different image is presented to each
eye. The observer generally perceives just one image at a time, with perceptual switches …
