Journal ArticleDOI
The statistical determinants of adaptation rate in human reaching.
TL;DR: Human to Kalman filter behavior was compared to determine how humans take into account the statistical properties of errors and the reliability with which those errors can be measured, and how biological systems remain responsive to changes in environmental statistics.
Journal ArticleDOI
The combination of vision and touch depends on spatial proximity
TL;DR: The nervous system often combines visual and haptic information about object properties such that the combined estimate is more precise than with vision or haptics alone, and it is found that the mechanism of visual-haptic combination is specialized for signals that coincide in space.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal defocus estimation in individual natural images
Johannes Burge,Wilson S. Geisler +1 more
TL;DR: A principled general framework for analyzing the psychophysics and neurophysiology of defocus estimation in species across the animal kingdom and for developing optimal image-based defocus and depth estimation algorithms for computational vision systems is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal disparity estimation in natural stereo images
Johannes Burge,Wilson S. Geisler +1 more
TL;DR: By analyzing the photoreceptor responses to natural images, this work provides a normative account of the neurophysiology and psychophysics of absolute disparity processing and reveals how selective invariant tuning-especially for properties not trivially available in the retinal images-could be implemented in neural systems to maximize performance in particular tasks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural-Scene Statistics Predict How the Figure–Ground Cue of Convexity Affects Human Depth Perception
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined natural scenes and found that depth steps across surfaces with convex silhouettes are likely to be larger than steps across surface with concave silhouettes.
