In natural vision, objects appear at typical locations, both with respect to visual space (eg, an
airplane in the upper part of a scene) and other objects (eg, a lamp above a table). Recent …

A hallmark of functional localization in the human brain is the presence of areas in visual
cortex specialized for representing particular categories such as faces and words. Why do …

Understanding social interaction requires processing social agents and their relationships.
The latest results show that much of this process is visually solved: visual areas can …

Human social nature has shaped visual perception. A signature of the relationship between
vision and sociality is a particular visual sensitivity to social entities such as faces and …

Perceptual organization concerns the organization of people's perception into meaningful,
structured entities—often wholes containing parts, with specific interrelationships among the …

Understanding human–object interactions is critical for extracting meaning from everyday
visual scenes and requires integrating complex relationships between human pose and …

Learning requires the traversal of inherently distinct cognitive states to produce behavioral
adaptation. Yet, tools to explicitly measure these states with non-invasive imaging–and to …

Several computational models explain how symmetry might be detected and represented in
the human brain. However, while there is an abundance of psychophysical studies on …

To navigate the social world, humans must represent social entities and the relationships
between those entities, starting with spatial relationships. Recent research suggests that two …

To optimize processing, the human visual system utilizes regularities present in naturalistic
visual input. One of these regularities is the relative position of objects in a scene (eg, a sofa …
