Our eyes are the primary gates to the visible world around us. Yet, whatever we perceive involves a translation of the patterns of the photons hitting our retinas into mental representations. It could be argued that visual perception is merely an ...

Introduction: Patients with diabetes and diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) place their feet with less accuracy whilst walking, which may contribute to the increased falls-risk. This study examines the effects of a multi-faceted intervention on ...

Our senses provide us with a rich experience of a detailed visual world, yet the empirical results seem to suggest severe limitations on our ability to perceive and remember. In recent attempts to reconcile the contradiction between what is experienced ...

Faces and words are traditionally assumed to be independently processed. Dyslexia is also traditionally thought to be a non-visual deficit. Counter to both ideas, face perception deficits in dyslexia have been reported. Others report no such deficits. ...

This thesis probes the intricate nature of visual object recognition, especially how visual recognition skills are associated or dissociated in developmental disorders and the neurotypical population. Our primary areas of focus include the role of ...

Face recognition is an essential skill that in many species is associated with apparently specialized neurological and cognitive mechanisms. This chapter summarizes some of the behavioral and neuroscientific research on laterality effects in face ...

Both intact and deficient neural processing of faces has been found in dyslexic readers. Similarly, behavioral studies have shown both normal and abnormal face processing in developmental dyslexia. We tested whether dyslexic adults are impaired in tests ...

Consistent financial reward of particular features influences the allocation of visual attention in many ways. More surprising are 1-trial reward priming effects on attention where reward schedules are random and reward on one trial influences attentional ...

Objects have a variety of different features that can be represented as probability distributions. Recent findings show that in addition to mean and variance, the visual system can also encode the shape of feature distributions for features like color ...

Traditional search tasks have taught us much about vision and attention. Recently, several groups have begun to use multiple-target search to explore more complex and temporally extended “foraging” behaviour. Many of these new foraging tasks, however, ...
