Is vision continuous with cognition? The case for cognitive impenetrability of visual perception.

TL;DR: The cognitive models proposed to explain the functional architecture of processes subsuming familiar people recognition, the different roles of the right and left hemisphere, and the anatomical structures and the cognitive processes involved in face and voice recognition are considered.

TL;DR: In this paper, a perceptual account of face-to-face mindreading is presented, and a phenomenological constraint on our visual awareness of others' emotional expressions is proposed. But it requires a distinction between the basic and non-basic ways people, and other things, look.

TL;DR: It is argued that the current evidence indicates clear constraints on top-down influences at all stages of information processing; it does, however, not support the notion of a boundary between specific types of information-processing as proposed by the cognitive impenetrability hypothesis.

TL;DR: This paper found no evidence of any bias, and therefore no evidence that eye movements affect perceived size, and the influence of multisensory integration on visual size appears to be dependent on subjective knowledge about changes in hand and gaze position.

TL;DR: A summary of the layout of cortical areas associated with vision and with other modalities, a computerized database for storing and representing large amounts of information on connectivity patterns, and the application of these data to the analysis of hierarchical organization of the cerebral cortex are reported on.

TL;DR: The data allow us to reject alternative accounts of the function of the fusiform face area (area “FF”) that appeal to visual attention, subordinate-level classification, or general processing of any animate or human forms, demonstrating that this region is selectively involved in the perception of faces.

TL;DR: The study reported here demonstrates a previously unrecognised influence of vision upon speech perception, on being shown a film of a young woman's talking head in which repeated utterances of the syllable [ba] had been dubbed on to lip movements for [ga].
