Visual perception and processing mechanisms

The paper shows that no-response trials alter serial dependence by reducing attractive biases and increasing repulsive biases, with EEG evidence of enhanced neural responses.

This study shows PSD-95 is essential for binocular vision maturation in mice, as its absence impairs predatory behavior but improves monocular performance.

The paper investigates how temporal and spatial masking signals affect perception of sequential visual events, finding that non-overlapping masks can induce temporal inversion judgments.

The paper investigates motion illusions caused by monovision in presbyopic and non-presbyopic populations, finding that interocular blur differences significantly affect processing speed and create visible illusions in subsets of participants.

This paper introduces Generative Inference, a framework that uses feedback pathways in neural networks to unify pattern recognition and generation, enabling perceptual grouping and illusory percepts.

The paper measures hue perception asymmetries using visual evoked potentials and behavioral tasks, finding stronger responses for hues near yellow compared to blue.

The paper studies how mouse thalamic local interneurons process visual stimuli by coordinating local and global dendritic responses to perform motion processing.

The paper tests the adaptive recurrence hypothesis by comparing fMRI and EEG responses to images recognized by humans but differing in their solvability by a feedforward deep neural network, finding that parieto-frontal networks are recruited when ventral stream processing is insufficient.

The paper investigates how eye movements influence self-motion perception through behavioral experiments and a Bayesian model, finding gaze-dependent biases in heading direction estimates.

This study compares recurrent and feedforward DNNs in modeling human visual recognition behavior, finding that model size, not recurrence, better aligns with human-like confusion patterns.

This study shows that horizontal vertical anisotropy (HVA) and vertical meridian asymmetry (VMA) develop gradually during adolescence, reaching adult levels in late adolescence.

The paper shows that predictable visual sequences lead to reduced neural responses and anticipatory biases in orientation representation, mirroring behavioral representational momentum.

The paper tests how distractor stimuli affect target stimulus processing by measuring decoding accuracy and behavioral performance in different brain regions.

The paper identifies V1 superficial layers as the source of visual saliency signals that feed forward to the parietal cortex for attentional guidance.

This study investigates how pupillary responses covary with visual discomfort during repeated exposure to striped patterns, finding cumulative discomfort and changes in pupillary size, with individual differences in pupillary responses.

The paper develops and tests computational models of TSDN circuits in hoverflies to explain how background motion modulates target responses, finding that simple inhibition from LPTCs explains facilitation and suppression.

The paper investigates presaccadic attention's effect on contrast appearance, finding it enhances low-contrast stimuli and attenuates high-contrast ones, similar to exogenous attention.

The paper identifies pulvinar-STS and pulvinar-amygdala pathways as critical for non-conscious affective processing in affective blindsight.

This study examines oculomotor behavior in patients with central vision loss using gaze-contingent displays and longitudinal data to characterize eye movement profiles.

The paper investigates perceptual traveling waves in binocular rivalry, finding that attention modulates their propagation and duration.

The paper demonstrates the existence of contentopic maps in ventral and dorsal association cortex that organize manipulable object information topographically.

This study shows that attention improves population codes in the human visual cortex primarily through tuning changes, not correlation changes.

This study shows that premature visual experience in ferrets alters circuit excitability and visual receptive fields, particularly affecting temporal frequency tuning and bandwidth.

This paper develops a high-resolution method to map foveal vision by combining eye-tracking and gaze-contingent display control, revealing individual variability in foveal sensitivity.

The paper models a prototypical V1 cortical column to show how upper layers extract contextually predictable features through selective filtering, resulting in a mesocolumnar structure with complex-cell and simple-cell properties.

This study examines how local variations in the L/M cone ratio affect the detection and color naming of small light spots, finding that chromatic sensitivity improves when the L/M ratio approaches unity.

The paper shows that low-level image features predict perceived similarity between naturalistic scene regions, supporting the role of basic visual features in scene organization.

The paper uses drift diffusion modeling to study how sensory information influences perceptual judgments during trans-saccadic visual target shifts.

The paper shows that models trained for both object recognition and image memorability better align with primate IT cortex responses than models trained solely for recognition.

The paper examines how interocular conflict affects interlaminar coherence in macaque V1, finding that coherence decreases during binocular rivalry flash suppression even when firing rates remain unchanged.
