Quadrantic deficit reveals anatomical constraints on selection
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007-08-02)
Our conscious experience is of a seamless visual world, but many of the cortical areas that underlie our capacity for vision have a fragmented or asymmetrical representation of visual space. In fact, the representation of ...
Working Memory Is Not Fixed-Capacity: More Active Storage Capacity for Real-World Objects Than for Simple Stimuli
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016-06-20)
Visual working memory is the cognitive system that holds visual information active to make it resistant to interference from new perceptual input. Information about simple stimuli—colors and orientations—is encoded into ...
Spatial Ensemble Statistics Are Efficient Codes That Can Be Represented With Reduced Attention
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2009-04-20)
There is a great deal of structural regularity in the natural environment, and such regularities confer an opportunity to form compressed, efficient representations. While this concept has been extensively studied within ...
Visual Long-Term Memory Has a Massive Storage Capacity for Object Details
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2008-09-11)
One of the major lessons of memory research has been that human memory is fallible, imprecise, and subject to interference. Thus,
although observers can remember thousands of images, it is widely assumed that these memories ...
