Prediction errors play a role in the context of dynamic perceptual events that take place within fractions of a second. Findings support the hypothesis that visual perception occurs as a result of a decision process. Read More
Visually represented information is a functional part of conceptual knowledge. The extend of the visual representations is influenced by visual experience. Read More
Contextual information, especially space and sequence, contributes to the distortion of perception in short-term memory. Read More
Study provides new evidence supporting the theory that perceptual limitations are caused by a correlated noise in neural activity. Read More
Boundary contraction may be as common as boundary extension, and whether something appears zoomed in or out depends on the properties of the image. Read More

When we see a painting, we rate its aesthetic value based upon other artwork we have just seen. Read More
Based on the study of a stroke patient with damage to the occipito-temporal brain region, researchers made a big discovery about color categorization. They reveal color categorization and naming can be independent in the human brain. The finding challenges long-standing theories of the mandatory involvement of language in adult human cognition and color discrimination. Read More
A new theory argues consciousness creates neural activity, and humans have evolved to see what is needed for survival. Perception, it is argued, is a user interface which may not necessarily be real. Read More
Subsequent search miss causes a reduction in the ability to detect an additional hazard when they spot another. The findings could help modify driver training to help reduce accidents and to develop in-vehicle technologies that focus on accident reduction. Read More
Using optogenetics, researchers stimulated neurons in the visual cortex of mice to induce illusory images in the animals' minds. Read More
