Visual crowding: A fundamental limit on conscious perception and object recognition

D Whitney, DM Levi - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2011 - cell.com
Crowding, the inability to recognize objects in clutter, sets a fundamental limit on conscious
visual perception and object recognition throughout most of the visual field. Despite how …

Seven myths on crowding and peripheral vision

H Strasburger - i-Perception, 2020 - journals.sagepub.com
Crowding has become a hot topic in vision research, and some fundamentals are now
widely agreed upon. For the classical crowding task, one would likely agree with the …

Psychophysical “blinding” methods reveal a functional hierarchy of unconscious visual processing

BG Breitmeyer - Consciousness and Cognition, 2015 - Elsevier
Numerous non-invasive experimental “blinding” methods exist for suppressing the
phenomenal awareness of visual stimuli. Not all of these suppressive methods occur at, and …

[HTML][HTML] Crowding, grouping, and object recognition: A matter of appearance

MH Herzog, B Sayim, V Chicherov… - Journal of vision, 2015 - iovs.arvojournals.org
In crowding, the perception of a target strongly deteriorates when neighboring elements are
presented. Crowding is usually assumed to have the following characteristics.(a) Crowding …

[HTML][HTML] Grouping, pooling, and when bigger is better in visual crowding

M Manassi, B Sayim, MH Herzog - Journal of Vision, 2012 - iovs.arvojournals.org
In crowding, perception of a target is strongly deteriorated by nearby elements. Crowding is
often explained by pooling models predicting that adding flankers increases crowding. In …

Crowding in peripheral vision: Why bigger is better

DM Levi, T Carney - Current biology, 2009 - cell.com
We enjoy the illusion that visual resolution is high across the entire field of vision. However,
this illusion can be easily dispelled by trying to identify objects in a cluttered environment out …

[HTML][HTML] Pooling of continuous features provides a unifying account of crowding

S Keshvari, R Rosenholtz - Journal of Vision, 2016 - arvojournals.org
Visual crowding refers to phenomena in which the perception of a peripheral target is
strongly affected by nearby flankers. Observers often report seeing the stimuli as “jumbled …

When crowding of crowding leads to uncrowding

M Manassi, B Sayim, MH Herzog - Journal of vision, 2013 - jov.arvojournals.org
In object recognition, features are thought to be processed in a hierarchical fashion from low-
level analysis (edges and lines) to complex figural processing (shapes and objects). Here …
