1) We can only claim that we fully understand human vision if we can also explain how humans combine seemingly meaningless elements into something meaningful (Chapter 4 & 5).
2) Object recognition does not rely on sequential processing, but rather the coordinated interaction of several areas in the brain (Chapter 2).
3) Object recognition unfolds over time, with distinct phases of eye movement behavior, and in space with distinct patterns of fMRI activity prior to and after recognition (Chapter 4 & 5).
4) That an observer knows where to look does not imply she also knows what she is looking at (Chapter 4).
5) Projecting the cortical activity measured during perception onto the visual image shown to the observers transforms their different brains into a common space (Chapter 5).
6) Bistability can occur for either the perceived content or the perceived perspective of a figure and is associated with activity in both distinct and common brain regions (Chapter 6).
7) Instability, noise and emergence are aspects of daily life, art and data to be embraced.
8) Just because something looks cool does not mean it makes sense.
