We can categorize a real world scene in a single glance (bedroom, field, etc). An initial representation of a scene is formed before the deployment of attention and individual object identification. This scene “gist” is based on global information, integrated across the entire scene. However, natural scenes may contain incongruent objects in them that could contradict the gist (‘chimeric’ scenes). For example, a scene whose gist might be ‘living room’ would contain congruent objects like sofas, chairs, and carpet. A chimeric scene might contain incongruent objects like trees and a lake, seen through a window. Incongruent information could delay or disrupt the rapid calculation of scene gist. Alternatively, this global process may be sophisticated enough to discount incongruent information or even to support two gists (living room & forest lake in our example). My research will test the hypothesis that human gist processing is robust against incongruity and will examine the limits of that robustness. This work will elucidate basic building blocks of human scene perception; a fundamental component of everyday vision and a requirement for many specialized tasks from driving vehicles to medical diagnosis.

我们可以一眼就把一个真实的世界场景分类（卧室、田野等）。在部署注意力和个体对象识别之前形成场景的初始表示。这个场景“gist”是基于全局信息的，集成在整个场景中。然而，自然场景中可能包含不一致的物体，这些物体可能与主旨相矛盾（“嵌合”场景）。例如，一个场景的主旨可能是“客厅”，它将包含沙发、椅子和地毯等一致的对象。一个嵌合场景可能包含不一致的对象，如树木和湖泊，通过窗户看到。不一致的信息可能会延迟或中断场景要点的快速计算。或者，这个全局过程可能足够复杂，可以忽略不一致的信息，甚至可以支持两个关键点（在我们的例子中是起居室和森林湖）。我的研究将检验人类主旨处理对不一致性具有鲁棒性的假设，并将检查这种鲁棒性的限度。这项工作将阐明人类场景感知的基本组成部分;日常视觉的基本组成部分，以及从驾驶车辆到医疗诊断的许多专业任务的要求。
