A critical function performed by visual systems is the fast and reliable detection of features within the environment, such as moving objects or approaching threats. Neurons predicted to encode these ...

Influential models of visual working memory treat each item to be stored as an independent unit and assume that there are no interactions between items. However, real-world displays have structure ...

Motion is characterized by a series of positions an object traverses over time. An object presented sequentially at two positions, with a time delay between them, is sufficient for us to perceive ...

A Nature Neuroscience study finds that special "illusion-encoding" neurons in the brain's visual cortex fill in missing ...
