TL;DR: In this paper, an ideal-observer model that combines visual, lexical, and oculomotor information optimally to read simple texts in the minimum number of saccades is presented.

TL;DR: The authors' data indicate that the visual system recognizes the front view of objects best, whereas the hand recognizes objects best from the back, and when the sensory modalities differed between learning an object and recognizing it, recognition performance was best when the objects were rotated back-to-front between learning and recognition.

TL;DR: The results showed that human object-recognition efficiency is low (3-8%) when compared to efficiencies reported for some other visual-information processing tasks.

TL;DR: This special issue of Journal of Vision is devoted to ‘‘Crowding,’’ a failure of object recognition, which explores crowding and crowding-like phenomena in various ways to reveal the visual computations that recognize objects.

TL;DR: The blood oxygenation level-dependent functional MRI contrast response functions over the full range of contrast in retinotopically defined early visual areas in humans provide strong evidence for a stimulus enhancement mechanism of attention as demonstrated in various behavioral studies.
