Motion direction, speed and orientation in binocular matching
Article Abstract:
Research is presented regarding the role of orientation, motion direction and speed in the process of binocular matching, that is, what affects the ability of the brain to compute the disparities between what is seen by the two eyes in order to recover three-dimensional aspects of what is being seen. A new psychophysical paradigm is introduced to show that the visual system uses similarities in orientation, motion direction, and speed to attain binocular correspondence, and subsequently binocular matching.

Image segmentation and lightness perception
Article Abstract:
New lightness illusions that unequivocally demonstrate the effect that layered image representations can have in lightness perception are presented. The obtained results indicate that mechanisms involved in decomposing images into layered representations can play a decisive role in the perception of surface lightness.

Object-based attention determines dominance in binocular rivalry
Article Abstract:
An attempt is made to clarify the query regarding the way brain selects which signals enter consciousness. Binocular rivalry and attention affect perception quite differently, but both involve selection of visual stimuli.
