Categorical perception of familiar objects [PDF]
Cognition, 2002 We report three experiments where the categorical perception of familiar, three-dimensional objects was investigated. A continuum of shape change between 15 pairs of objects was created and the images along the continuum were used as stimuli. In Experiment 1 participants were first required to discriminate pairs of images of objects that lay along the ...

Population Code Dynamics in Categorical Perception. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2016 AbstractCategorical perception is a ubiquitous function in sensory information processing and is reported to have important influences on the recognition of presented and/or memorized stimuli. However, such complex interactions among categorical perception and other aspects of sensory processing have not been explained well in a unified manner.
