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 paper introduces blur and retinal masks as self-supervision signals for vision transformers, showing improved robustness and generalization in visual representation learning.

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 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.

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 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.
