Mathematical models have long provided a robust framework for understanding the intricate processes underlying visual perception and neural processing. By combining principles from differential ...

The opponent process theory suggests that the way humans perceive colors is controlled by three opposing systems. We need four unique colors to characterize perception of color: blue, yellow, red, and ...

A popular theory in neuroscience called predictive coding proposes that the brain produces all the time expectations that are compared with incoming information. Errors arising from differences ...

To clarify the mechanism of serial dependence in number perception, a research team conducted two tests, independently asking subjects to estimate the number of coins, or to estimate the value of ...

The Multisensory Correlation Detector (MCD) population model consists of elementary computational units (left), each of which responds to audiovisual transients (that is, changes in the input) that ...

When perceiving rich sensory information, some people may integrate its various aspects, whereas other people may selectively focus on its most salient aspects. We propose that neural gain modulates ...
