The role of background statistics in face adaptation.

28 Sep 2009 Cross-adaptation is widely used to probe whether different stimuli share common neural mechanisms. For example, that adaptation to second-order stimuli usually produces little aftereffect on first-order stimuli has been interpreted as reflecting ... Read more...

Analogous intermediate shape coding in vision and touch.

2 Sep 2009 We recognize, understand, and interact with objects through both vision and touch. Conceivably, these two sensory systems encode object shape in similar ways, which could facilitate cross-modal communication. To test this idea, we studied single ... Read more...

Orientation disparity: a cue for 3D orientation?

30 Aug 2009 Orientation disparity, the difference in orientation that results when a texture element on a slanted surface is projected to the two eyes, has been proposed as a binocular cue for 3D orientation. Since orientation disparity is confounded with ... Read more...
