Humans are attracted to symmetry: in our buildings, our gardens, in our potential partners. For plants, the symmetrical shapes of organs are a matter of survival because the form directly impacts the ...

Integration of multiple properties of an object is a fundamental function of the visual cortex in object recognition. For instance, surface patterns and contour shapes are thought to be crucial ...

Extrastriate visual areas are strongly activated by image symmetry. Less is known about symmetry representation at object-level rather than image-level. Here we investigated electrophysiological ...
