Psychol Sci . 2023 Sep; 34(10):1101-1120. PMID: 37669066
To what extent do aesthetic experiences arise from the human ability to perceive and extract meaning from visual features? Ordinary scenes, such as a beach sunset, can elicit a sense...

Gillies G, Park H, Woo J, Walther D, Cant J, Fukuda K
Cognition . 2023 May; 238:105489. PMID: 37163952
Some visual stimuli are consistently better remembered than others across individuals, due to variations in memorability (the stimulus-intrinsic property that determines ease of encoding into visual long-term memory (VLTM)). However,...

Jung Y, Forest T, Walther D, Finn A
J Neurosci . 2023 Apr; 43(21):3849-3859. PMID: 37055182
A defining feature of children's cognition is the especially slow development of their attention. Despite a rich behavioral literature characterizing the development of attention, little is known about how developing...

Damiano C, Gayen P, Rezanejad M, Banerjee A, Banik G, Patnaik P, et al.
J Vis . 2023 Apr; 23(4):1. PMID: 37010831
Through the manipulation of color and form, visual abstract art is often used to convey feelings and emotions. Here, we explored how colors and lines are used to express basic...

Kyle-Davidson C, Zhou E, Walther D, Bors A, Evans K
Cognition . 2022 Nov; 231:105319. PMID: 36399902
Humans can effortlessly assess the complexity of the visual stimuli they encounter. However, our understanding of how we do this, and the relevant factors that result in our perception of...

Wilder J, Rezanejad M, Dickinson S, Siddiqi K, Jepson A, Walther D
PLoS One . 2022 Jan; 17(1):e0260266. PMID: 35061699
Human observers can rapidly perceive complex real-world scenes. Grouping visual elements into meaningful units is an integral part of this process. Yet, so far, the neural underpinnings of perceptual grouping...

Sheng H, Wilder J, Walther D
PLoS One . 2021 Nov; 16(11):e0258376. PMID: 34748556
We often take people's ability to understand and produce line drawings for granted. But where should we draw lines, and why? We address psychological principles that underlie efficient representations of...

Damiano C, Walther D, Cunningham W
Sci Rep . 2021 Oct; 11(1):19405. PMID: 34593933
Quickly scanning an environment to determine relative threat is an essential part of survival. Scene gist extracted rapidly from the environment may help people detect threats. Here, we probed this...

Son G, Walther D, Mack M
Behav Res Methods . 2021 Jul; 54(1):444-456. PMID: 34244986
Precisely characterizing mental representations of visual experiences requires careful control of experimental stimuli. Recent work leveraging such stimulus control has led to important insights; however, these findings are constrained to...

Jung Y, Walther D
J Neurosci . 2021 Jun; 41(34):7234-7245. PMID: 34103357
Natural scenes deliver rich sensory information about the world. Decades of research has shown that the scene-selective network in the visual cortex represents various aspects of scenes. However, less is...
