Parsing silhouettes: The short-cut rule
AbstractMany researchers have proposed that, for the purpose of recognition, human vision parses shapes into component parts. Precisely how is not yet known. The minima rule for silhouettes (Hoffman...

AbstractVisual completion is a ubiquitous phenomenon: Human vision often constructs contours and surfaces in regions that have no sharp gradients in any image property. When does human vision...
View ArticleEarly computation of part structure: Evidence from visual search
AbstractThe visual system represents object shapes in terms of intermediate-level parts. The minima rule proposes that the visual system uses negative minima of curvature to define boundaries between...

AbstractAmbient levels of viable bioaerosol were measured at four different sites on the campus of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi, India. Most of the viable bioaerosol was associated with...
View ArticleCurved apparent motion induced by amodal completion
AbstractWe investigated whether amodal completion can bias apparent motion (AM) to deviate from its default straight path toward a longer curved path, which would violate the well-established principle...
View ArticleNatural Selection and Shape Perception
AbstractWe present a formal framework that generalizes and subsumes the standard Bayesian framework for vision. While incorporating the fundamental role of probabilistic inference, our Computational...

View ArticleThe Interface Theory of Perception
AbstractPerception is a product of evolution. Our perceptual systems, like our limbs and livers, have been shaped by natural selection. The effects of selection on perception can be studied using...
View ArticleProbing the interface theory of perception: Reply to commentaries
AbstractWe propose that selection favors nonveridical perceptions that are tuned to fitness. Current textbooks assert, to the contrary, that perception is useful because, in the normal case, it is...
