Previewing distracters reduces their effective contrast (2007)
Journal Article
Allen, H. A., & Humphreys, G. W. (2007). Previewing distracters reduces their effective contrast. Vision Research, 47(23), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.visres.2007.07.019

In a visual search task, when half the distracters are presented earlier than the remainder (‘previewed’), observers find the target item more efficiently than when all the items are presented together—the preview benefit. We measured psychometric fu... Read More about Previewing distracters reduces their effective contrast.

A psychophysical investigation into the preview benefit in visual search (2007)
Journal Article
Allen, H. A., & Humphreys, G. W. (2007). A psychophysical investigation into the preview benefit in visual search. Vision Research, 47(6), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.visres.2006.11.007

In preview search, half of the distracters are presented ahead of the remaining distracters and the target. Search under these conditions is more efficient than when all the items appear together (Watson & Humphreys, 1997). We investigated the mechan...

Ventral extra-striate cortical areas are required for optimal orientation averaging (2007)
Journal Article
Allen, H. A., Humphreys, G. W., & Bridge, H. (2007). Ventral extra-striate cortical areas are required for optimal orientation averaging. Vision Research, 47(6), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.visres.2006.10.018

We examined the ability of a previously well-studied patient with visual agnosia to compute the average orientation of elements in visual displays. In a structural MRI study, we show that the lesion is likely to involve a variety of ventral extra-str...
