Neural Mechanisms of Object-Based Attention
Elias H. Cohen,Frank Tong +1 more
TL;DR: This work finds that activity patterns in early visual areas (V1-V4) are strongly biased in favor of the attended object, and shows how feedback of an average template to V1-like units can improve discrimination of exemplars belonging to the attended category.
Journal ArticleDOI
Symmetry in context: Salience of mirror symmetry in natural patterns
TL;DR: Using natural patterns to measure salience of symmetry in diverse contexts produces new insights into symmetry perception and its possible neural circuits, and reveals why perceptual symmetry can differ from mathematical characterizations.
Journal ArticleDOI
The utility of shape attributes in deciphering movements of non-rigid objects.
TL;DR: It is proposed that extracting shape attributes, e.g., symmetry, facilitates veridical perception of non-rigid motion and suggests that shape attributes may provide links across the dorsal-ventral separation between motion and shape processing.
