When two visual stimuli are presented in rapid succession only one fused image is perceived. For example, a red disk followed by a green disk is perceived as a single yellow disk (e.g., Efron, Perc Psychophys, 1973). For two verniers that last 30ms each, i ...

Perceptual learning is usually very specific. For example, performance improves when observers train with a vertical bisection stimulus. However, this improvement does not transfer to a horizontal bisection stimulus. Here, we show that perceptual learning ...
We investigated perceptual learning in self-motion perception. Blindfolded participants were displaced leftward or rightward by means of a motion platform and asked to indicate the direction of motion. A total of eleven participants underwent 3,360 practic ...
The spatial representation of a visual scene in the early visual system is well known. The optics of the eye map the three-dimensional environment onto two-dimensional images on the retina. These retinotopic representations are preserved in the early visua ...
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 ...
We investigated if visual and visuomotor perceptual learning rely on the same underlying mechanisms. Observers trained with line bisection stimuli in which a center line was either closer to a right or left outer line. In the visuomotor learning condition, ...
Sensory adaptation reflects the fact that the responsiveness of a perceptual system changes after the processing of a specific stimulus. Two manifestations of this property have been used in order to infer the mechanisms underlying vision: priming, in whic ...

We present a gaze stabilization system using only visual information as feedback for a self tuning dynamical system. We describe how the dynamical system tunes its internal parameters to those of the optical flow information to generate compensatory command ...
Integration of multimodal information is essential for the integrative response of the brain and is thought to be accomplished mostly in sensory association areas. However, available evidences in humans and monkeys indicate that this process begins already ...
We studied the spatiotemporal characteristics of cortical activity in early visual areas and the fusiform gyri (FG) by means of magnetoencephalography (MEG). Subjects performed a visual classification task, in which letters and visually similar pseudolette ...
