The uncrowded window of object recognition.

29 Sep 2008 It is now emerging that vision is usually limited by object spacing rather than size. The visual system recognizes an object by detecting and then combining its features. 'Crowding' occurs when objects are too close together and features from ... Read more...

Does learned shape selectivity in inferior temporal cortex automatically generalize across retinal position?

29 Sep 2008 Biological visual systems have the remarkable ability to recognize objects despite confounding factors such as object position, size, pose, and lighting. In primates, this ability likely results from neuronal responses at the highest stage of the ... Read more...

Perceived shape similarity among unfamiliar objects and the organization of the human object vision pathway.

29 Sep 2008 Humans rely heavily on shape similarity among objects for object categorization and identification. Studies using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have shown that a large region in human occipitotemporal cortex processes the shape of ... Read more...
