Binocular suppression occurs in object-centered coordinates

Michael Herzog, Marco Boi, Marcus Leonardus Vergeer

In binocular rivalry, only one image is perceived consciously when different, incompatible images are presented to the left and right eye, respectively. The other image is suppressed. Binocular suppression is generally assumed to occur within retinotopic c ...

Luminance contours can gate afterimage colors and "real" colors

Marcus Leonardus Vergeer

It has long been known that colored images may elicit afterimages in complementary colors. We have already shown (Van Lier, Vergeer, & Anstis, 2009) that one and the same adapting image may result in different afterimage colors, depending on the test conto ...

Nonretinotopic Exogenous Attention

Michael Herzog, Marco Boi, Marcus Leonardus Vergeer

Attention is crucial for visual perception because it allows the visual system to effectively use its limited resources by selecting behaviorally and cognitively relevant stimuli from the large amount of information impinging on the eyes. Reflexive, stimul ...

The visual saliency map is non-retinotopic

Michael Herzog, Marco Boi, Marcus Leonardus Vergeer

Most visual search models rely on a retinotopic saliency map. Here, we provide evidence that visual saliency is computed non-retinotopically. Recently, it was shown that attention can operate in a non-retinotopic reference frame by inserting a search displ ...
