Texture segmentation without human V4 (2017)
Journal Article
Norman, L., Heywood, C., & Kentridge, R. (2017). Texture segmentation without human V4. Visual Cognition, 25(1-3), 184-195. https://doi.org/10.1080/13506285.2017.1301612

Texture segmentation, or second-order segmentation, is a rapid perceptual process, allowing object and surface boundaries to be effortlessly detected. It is currently unclear whether this is achieved in early cortical areas or whether it necessitates... Read More about Texture segmentation without human V4.

Incidental context information increases recollection (2017)
Journal Article
Ameen-Ali, K., Norman, L., Eacott, M., & Easton, A. (2017). Incidental context information increases recollection. Learning & Memory, 24(3), 136-139. https://doi.org/10.1101/lm.042622.116

The current study describes a receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) task for human participants based on the spontaneous recognition memory paradigms typically used with rodents. Recollection was significantly higher when an object was in the same... Read More about Incidental context information increases recollection.
