1.
Saarela T, Westheimer G, Herzog M
J Vis . 2010 Oct; 10(10):17. PMID: 20884482
Crowding limits peripheral visual discrimination and recognition: a target easily identified in isolation becomes impossible to recognize when surrounded by other stimuli, often called flankers. Most accounts of crowding predict...

Sayim B, Westheimer G, Herzog M
Psychol Sci . 2010 May; 21(5):641-4. PMID: 20483840
Human perception of a stimulus varies depending on the context in which the stimulus is presented. Such contextual modulation has often been explained by two basic neural mechanisms: lateral inhibition...

Perception . 2001 Jun; 30(5):531-41. PMID: 11430239
The historical roots of the Fourier theory of spatial visual perception are traced. The development of the underlying concepts and the psychophysical experiments that led to them, and that they...

Westheimer G
Proc Biol Sci . 2001 May; 268(1471):995-9. PMID: 11375081
A distinction is drawn between two intrinsic directions within a simple spatial configuration. The line joining two elements is the radial direction and orthogonal to it is the tangential direction....

Westheimer G, Crist R, Gorski L, Gilbert C
Vision Res . 2001 Apr; 41(9):1133-8. PMID: 11292503
Crucial for the perception of form are the spatial relationships between the elements of a visual stimulus. To investigate the mechanisms involved in coding the distance between visual stimuli, thresholds...

Westheimer G
Vision Res . 2001 Feb; 41(1):47-52. PMID: 11163615
While it is generally accepted that foveal visual acuity in the adult has reached an optimal value, claims for improvement of peripheral acuity with training in the adult persist in...

Kapadia M, Westheimer G, Gilbert C
J Neurophysiol . 2000 Oct; 84(4):2048-62. PMID: 11024097
To examine the role of primary visual cortex in visuospatial integration, we studied the spatial arrangement of contextual interactions in the response properties of neurons in primary visual cortex of...

Vis Neurosci . 2000 Oct; 17(4):551-6. PMID: 11016574
Thresholds for the detection of differences in the duration of visual stimuli were determined for a variety of programs of stimulus onset and offset. Performance suffers when a time interval...
