Translucence perception is not dependent on cortical areas critical for processing colour or texture (2017)
Journal Article

Translucence is an important property of natural materials, and human observers are adept at perceiving changes in translucence. Perceptions of different material properties appear to arise from different cortical regions, and it is therefore plausib...

Does unconscious perception really exist? Continuing the ASSC20 debate (2017)
Journal Article
Peters, M. A., Kentridge, R. W., Phillips, I., & Block, N. (2017). Does unconscious perception really exist? Continuing the ASSC20 debate. Neuroscience of Consciousness, 3(1), https://doi.org/10.1093/nc/nix015

In our ASSC20 symposium, “Does unconscious perception really exist?”, the four of us asked some difficult questions about the purported phenomenon of unconscious perception, disagreeing on a number of points. This disagreement reflected the objective... Read More about Does unconscious perception really exist? Continuing the ASSC20 debate.

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.
