Information integration and consciousness are closely related, if not interdependent. But,
what exactly is the nature of their relation? Which forms of integration require …

What are the neural correlates of conscious visual awareness? Tackling this question
requires contrasting neural correlates of stimulus processing culminating in visual …

In everyday life, we are constantly surrounded by complex and cluttered scenes. In such
cluttered environments, visual perception is primarily limited by crowding, the deleterious …

We measured visual-adaptation strength under variations in visual awareness by
manipulating phenomenal invisibility of adapting stimuli using binocular rivalry and visual …

The identity of a target is more difficult to acquire when it is surrounded by distracters. The
purpose of the present experiments was to investigate the implications of this crowding …

Physiological results for the size of face-specific units in inferotemporal cortex (IT) support an
extraordinarily large range of possible sizes—from 2.5° to 30° or more. We use a behavioral …

Vision in a cluttered scene is extremely inefficient. This damaging effect of clutter, known as
crowding, affects many aspects of visual processing (eg, reading speed). We examined …

In order to interpret a constantly changing environment, visual events far apart in space and
time must be integrated into a unified percept. While spatial properties of invisible signals …

The study of non-conscious vision benefits from several alternative methods that allow the
suppression of an image from awareness. Here, we present and compare two of them that …

In the crowding phenomenon, recognition of a visual target is impaired by other similar
visual stimuli (distracters) presented near the target. This effect may be due largely to …
