Task-specific neural mechanisms underlie biases in human orientation perception

2026-07-17

Abstract excerpt

Prior experience shapes both visual perception and its underlying neural circuits. This is exemplified by the oblique effect – a strong perceptual advantage for cardinal (horizontal/vertical) over oblique orientations – which reflects how the brain adapts to statistical regularities in the natural environment. It remains unclear whether such adaptations are generalised across visual cortex or are specific to circ...
