Is the world full of circles?

abstract：:Humans can estimate and encode numerosity over a large range, from very few items to several hundreds. Two distinct mechanisms have been proposed: subitizing, for numbers up to four and estimation for larger numerosities. We have recently extended this idea by suggesting that for very densely packed arrays, when items...

abstract：:The response of visual cells is a nonlinear function of their stimuli. In addition, an increasing amount of evidence shows that visual cells are optimized to process natural images. Hence, finding good nonlinear models to characterize visual cells using natural stimuli is important. The Volterra model is an appealing ...

abstract：:The magnitude and precision of stereoscopic depth between two probes is often determined by the disparity each has to a common background. If stereoscopic slant of the background is underestimated, a bias is introduced in the PSE of the probes (G. Mitchison & G. Westheimer, 1984). Using random dot stimuli, we show her...
