Title: Behavioral and Neural Representations of Human Visual Perception: Integration across Saccades, 3D Space, and Real-World Object Properties

Abstract: Understanding how the human brain processes visual information in real-world contexts is a central goal of vision science. While traditional studies have provided valuable insights under controlled conditions, they often fail to capture the dynamic and semantically rich nature of everyday experience. This talk investigates human visual representations of object feature and spatial information in ecologically relevant contexts through three studies: world-centered (spatiotopic) object-location binding in dynamic saccade context, spatiotemporal representations of 3D visual perception, and disentangled object real-world size representation from retinal size and depth. Together, these findings provide a deeper understanding of visual perception in ecological contexts, with implications for cognitive neuroscience and applied fields.
