Visual Working Memory Contents Bias Ambiguous Structure from Motion Perception
The way we perceive the visual world depends crucially on the state of the observer. In the present study we show that what we are holding in working memory (WM) can bias the way we perceive ambiguous structure from motion stimuli. Holding in memory the percept of an unambiguously rotating sphere influenced the perceived direction of motion of an ambiguously rotating sphere presented shortly th...
متن کاملVisual working memory contaminates perception.
Indirect evidence suggests that the contents of visual working memory may be maintained within sensory areas early in the visual hierarchy. We tested this possibility using a well-studied motion repulsion phenomenon in which perception of one direction of motion is distorted when another direction of motion is viewed simultaneously. We found that observers misperceived the actual direction of m...
متن کاملSmelling directions: Olfaction modulates ambiguous visual motion perception
Senses of smells are often accompanied by simultaneous visual sensations. Previous studies have documented enhanced olfactory performance with concurrent presence of congruent color- or shape- related visual cues, and facilitated visual object perception when congruent smells are simultaneously present. These visual object-olfaction interactions suggest the existences of couplings between the o...
متن کاملWhat’s “up”? Working memory contents can bias orientation processing
We explored the interaction between the processing of a low-level visual feature such as orientation and the contents of working memory (WM). In a first experiment, participants memorized the orientation of a Gabor patch and performed two subsequent orientation discriminations during the retention interval. The WM stimulus exerted a consistent repulsive effect on the discrimination judgments: p...
متن کاملThe Visual Perception of 3-Dimensional Structure from Motion
One of the most perplexing phenomena in the study of human vision is the ability of observers to perceive the 3-dimensional layout of the environment from patterns of light that project onto the retina. Indeed, were it not for the facts of our day-to-day experiences, it would be tempting to conclude that the perception of 3dimensional form is a mathematical impossibility, since the properties o...
