The paper shows that objects improve scene recognition, especially in poor visibility, and that this effect depends on object placement and is mediated by the lateral occipital cortex.

The paper shows that visual memory biases for body postures are influenced by knowledge of effort, with stronger biases for more effortful postures.

The paper investigates how boosting forward connectivity between visual and body-selective cortex affects interference between sex and emotion judgments, finding that it eliminates sex interference on emotion judgments.

The paper shows that upright human silhouettes are more detectable than inverted ones in an inattentional blindness task, suggesting a visual bias for upright human forms.

The paper demonstrates that left EBA activity causally supports efficient visual perception of social interactions through fMRI, behavioral, and TMS experiments.

The paper shows that boundary extension depends on depth-of-field, with naturalistic DOF enhancing the illusion in distant views.

The paper shows that visual memory of body postures is biased by priors related to gravity and biomechanical constraints, which are reduced when body stimuli are inverted.
