Journal ArticleDOI
Visual cognition: An introduction
TL;DR: This article is a tutorial overview of a sample of central issues in visual cognition, focusing on the recognition of shapes and the representation of objects and spatial relations in perception and imagery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eye movements and optical flow
TL;DR: It is shown that observers can perceive their direction of self-motion during stationary fixations and pursuit eye movements and with displays that simulate the optical effects of eye movements, indicating that the visual system can perform the decomposition with both continuous and discontinuous fields on the basis of flow-field information alone but requires a three-dimensional environmental structure to do so.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eye scanpaths during visual imagery reenact those of perception of the same visual scene
TL;DR: For instance, this paper found that the percentage of time spent fixating a specific location during perception was highly correlated with the time spent on the same (empty) locations during imagery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural correlates of feeling sympathy.
TL;DR: Results are consistent with a model of feeling sympathy that relies on both the shared representation and the affective networks, and Interestingly, this network was not activated when subjects watched inappropriate social behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is human cognition adaptive
TL;DR: In this paper, the output of human cognition is predicted from the assumption that it is an optimal response to the information processing demands of the environment, and a methodology called rational analysis is described for deriving predictions about cognitive phenomena using optimization assumptions.
