The Irreducibility of Vision: Gestalt, Crowding and the Fundamentals of Vision

open access: yesVision, 2022
What is fundamental in vision has been discussed for millennia. For philosophical realists and the physiological approach to vision, the objects of the outer world are truly given, and failures to perceive objects properly, such as in illusions, are just

When are abrupt onsets found efficiently in complex visual search? : evidence from multi-element asynchronous dynamic search [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
Previous work has found that search principles derived from simple visual search tasks do not necessarily apply to more complex search tasks. Using a Multielement Asynchronous Dynamic (MAD) visual search task, in which high numbers of stimuli could ...

Norwich’s Entropy Theory: how not to go from abstract to actual [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to ask whether a first-order-cybernetics concept, Shannon’s Information Theory, actually allows a far-reaching mathematics of perception allegedly derived from it, Norwich et al.’s “Entropy Theory of Perception”.

The psychophysics of imagery [PDF]

open access: yesPerception & Psychophysics, 2000
A series of experiments considers the extent to which the interrelations among subjective magnitudes aroused by images corresponds to those for subjective magnitudes aroused by physical stimuli. In Experiment 1, 68 undergraduates typed phrases in response to graded categories regarding the imagined magnitude of lights, sounds, and smells. In Experiment

Sensory Measurements: Coordination and Standardization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Do sensory measurements deserve the label of “measurement”? We argue that they do. They fit with an epistemological view of measurement held in current philosophy of science, and they face the same kinds of epistemological challenges as physical ...

Unraveling brain interactions in vision: The example of crowding

open access: yesNeuroImage, 2021
Crowding, the impairment of target discrimination in clutter, is the standard situation in vision. Traditionally, crowding is explained with (feedforward) models, in which only neighboring elements interact, leading to a “bottleneck” at the earliest ...

Perceived Azimuth Direction Is Exaggerated: Converging Evidence From Explicit And Implicit Measures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Recent observations suggest that perceived visual direction in the sagittal plane (angular direction in elevation, both upward and downward from eye level) is exaggerated.
