Characterizing Surround Suppression with Dynamic Natural Scenes

This study investigates surround suppression in dynamic natural scenes, finding that suppression increases with decreasing categorical similarity between center and surround, and is stronger when motion directions are congruent.

Distinct Mechanisms of Surround Modulation for Dynamic Natural Scenes in Motion- and Scene-Selective Cortex

The paper investigates how motion congruence and categorical similarity between central and surrounding scenes influence surround modulation in different visual areas using fMRI.

hMT+ Activity Predicts the Effect Of Spatial Attention On Surround Suppression

The paper investigates how spatial attention affects surround suppression in motion perception using psychophysics and fMRI, finding that wider attention increases suppression strength and that hMT+ activity predicts these effects.

Increasing the Spatial Extent of Attention Strengthens Surround Suppression

This study examines how spatial attention affects surround suppression in visual motion processing and links findings to neuronal models and clinical disorders.
