Psychophysical Analyses of Perceptual Representations

Abstract

Research during the year has been divided between studies at USC (biederman and students) and Minnesota. Our research continues to focus on linking early sensory representations to higher-level perceptual representations. For this reason, we refer to our Center informally as the 'Middle Kingdom'. Studies outlined below have examined the sensory/perceptual 'middle ground' in object recognition, depth perception, reading acuity, and auditory perception. Several of our studies have used ideal-observer analysis. The ideal-observer approach provides a means for quantifying the information available to perception and for evaluating the effectiveness with which humans use that information.
