The paper compares the ability of photoreceptors and inferior temporal cortex neurons to distinguish fruits and vegetables based on color, showing improved discrimination at higher processing stages.

This study investigates how global spatial configurations of diagonals in art override the oblique effect in visual perception, showing that global orientation and shape significantly influence perceived dynamism.

The paper investigates phantom forms in amblyopia, showing that cortical receptive fields in the amblyopic eye generate complex percepts not present in the viewed stimulus.

The paper shows that perceived object non-rigidity varies with orientation due to cortical anisotropies in primary visual cortex.

The paper investigates how V2 receptive fields in primates emerge from V1 inputs using anatomical tracing and functional imaging, finding that linear combinations of V1 inputs can explain V2 selectivity and texture sensitivity.

The paper investigates how visual perception of object rigidity transitions between rigid and non-rigid states by analyzing the interaction of motion-energy, feature-tracking, and shape-based priors.

This paper introduces a theory explaining cortical map diversity across species through thalamic afferent density and its impact on cortical domain formation.

The paper shows that human perception of 3D size in oblique views of pictures is influenced by underestimation of viewing azimuth and elevation, leading to systematic biases in size estimation.

The paper tests the geometric structure of perceptual color space using midpoint judgments and shows it depends on mental representations, revealing an affine geometry when using opponent-color representations.

The paper investigates how humans estimate 3D object sizes and shapes using projective geometry, finding systematic underestimation and a slant illusion that can be modeled with a multiplicative correction factor.

This study identifies and characterizes S-OFF midget ganglion cells in the macaque retina using electron microscopy and electrophysiology, revealing their complex chromatic tuning properties.
