Uncorking the bottleneck of crowding: a fresh look at object recognition

In crowding, the perception of a target deteriorates in the presence of clutter. Crowding is usually explained within the framework of object recognition, where processing proceeds in a hierarchical and feedforward fashion from the analysis of low level fe ...

Contour-integration deficits in intact visual field of hemianopia patients

Michael Herzog, Ophélie Gladys Favrod

We investigated Gestalt perception in the intact visual field (VF) of hemianopia patients. Three patients and matched controls performed a Yes-No figure detection task. Gabor patches of one orientation, making up the outline of a square, were embedded in r ...

Crowding, grouping, timing

Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke, Mauro Manassi, Vitaly Chicherov

In crowding, target perception is deteriorated by flanking elements. For example, when a vernier is flanked by two lines of the same length, vernier offset discrimination strongly deteriorates. Interestingly, changing the color of the flankers can reduce c ...

Visual crowding illustrates the inadequacy of local vs. global and feedforward vs. feedback distinctions in modeling visual perception

Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis, Aaron Michael Clarke

Experimentalists tend to classify models of visual perception as being either local or global, and involving either feedforward or feedback processing. We argue that these distinctions are not as helpful as they might appear, and we illustrate these issues ...

How color, regularity, and good Gestalt determine backward masking

Michael Herzog, Bilge Sayim, Mauro Manassi

The strength of visual backward masking depends on the stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) between target and mask. Recently, it was shown that the conjoint spatial layout of target and mask is as crucial as SOA. Particularly, masking strength depends on wheth ...

A direct comparison of unconscious face processing under masking and interocular suppression

Nathan Quentin Faivre, Julien Dubois

Different combinations of forward and backward masking as well as interocular suppression have been used extensively to render stimuli invisible and to study those aspects of visual stimuli that are processed in the absence of conscious experience. Althoug ...

Crowding and grouping: how much time is needed to process good Gestalt?

Michael Herzog, Mauro Manassi

In crowding, perception of a target is deteriorated by flanking elements. Crowding is usually explained by pooling models where target and flanker signals are averaged. We show here that crowding is rather determined by grouping and good Gestalt. We determ ...

Grouping, pooling, and when bigger is better in visual crowding

Michael Herzog, Bilge Sayim, Mauro Manassi

In crowding, perception of a target is strongly deteriorated by nearby elements. Crowding is often explained by pooling models predicting that adding flankers increases crowding. In contrast, the centroid hypothesis proposes that adding flankers decreases ...
