Technological advances in recent decades have allowed us to measure both the information
available to the visual system in the natural environment and the rich array of behaviors that …

The physiological blind spot corresponds to the optic disc where the retina contains no light-
detecting photoreceptor cells. Our perception seemingly fills in this gap in input. Here we …

Results from paradigms like change blindness and inattentional blindness indicate that
observers are unaware of numerous aspects of the visual world. However, intuition suggests …

The blind spot is both a necessity and a nuisance for seeing. It is the portion of the visual
field projecting to where the optic nerve crosses the retina, a region devoid of …

Complete visual information about a scene and the objects within it is often not available to
us. For example, objects may be partly occluded by other objects or have sections missing …

During perceptual rivalry, an observer's perceptual experience alternates over time despite
constant sensory stimulation. Perceptual alternations are thought to be driven by conflicting …

Binocular rivalry is an important phenomenon for understanding the mechanisms of visual
awareness. Here we assessed the functional locus of binocular rivalry relative to blind spot …

We investigated artificial scotomas created when a moving object instantaneously crossed a
gap, jumping ahead and continuing its otherwise smooth motion. Gaps of up to 5.1 degrees …

The blind spot is a region in the temporal monocular visual field in humans, which
corresponds to a physiological scotoma within the nasal hemi-retina. This region has no …

When occlusion and binocular disparity cues conflict, what visual features determine how
they combine? Sensory cues, such as T-junctions, have been suggested to be necessary for …
