Spike Synchrony Reveals Emergence of Proto-Objects in Visual Cortex (2015, background): “The amount of synchrony is not critical because selective processing is based on the enhancement of firing rates (for which there is evidence; Reynolds et al., 2000; Roelfsema et al., 2004; Qiu et al., 2007; Wannig et al., 2011), although it may be further facilitated by increased synchrony.”
Figure–ground organization and the emergence of proto-objects in the visual cortex (2015, background): “There are two striking parallels: First, the intricate relationship between attentional modulation and border ownership selectivity (Figure 3; Qiu et al., 2007) indicating that these circuits provide a structure for object-based attention (Mihalas et al., 2011).”
Mechanisms of perceptual organization provide auto-zoom and auto-localization for attention to objects (2010, background): “The strength of the specific lateral excitation was tuned to match the border ownership modulation in the absence of attention (10).”
Neural Elements for Predictive Coding (2016, background): “…and position Frontiers in Psychology | www.frontiersin.org 2 November 2016 | Volume 7 | Article 1792 invariant (Rolls, 1992), it falls to lower areas to represent the spatiotopic ‘filled-in surface’ and ‘border ownership’ attributes of a percept (Qiu et al., 2007; Pollen, 2008; Poort et al., 2012).”
A Century of Gestalt Psychology in Visual Perception I. Perceptual Grouping and Figure-Ground Organization (2012, background): “This was demonstrated in an experiment by Qiu et al. (2007), who presented two overlapping figures and measured the neuronal response to the border between the figures (the occluding contour), varying border-ownership and the side of attention.”
