Sharing the Spotlight: Uncovering common attentional dynamics across species

Mina Glukhova, Alejandro Tlaie, Robert T. Taylor, Pierre-Antoine Ferracci, Katharine A. Shapcott, Berkutay Mert, Olga Arne, Andrei Ciuparu, Raul Cristian Muresan, Martha Nari Havenith, Marieke Louise Schölvinck

This study compares sustained attention dynamics across mice, monkeys, and humans using a shared VR task and hidden Markov models, finding greater similarity in attentional states than expected.

More is better: Improved visual discrimination through local feature diversity in naturalistic objects

Mina Glukhova, Alisha Crider, Anastasiia Galiagina, Berkutay Mert, Katharine A. Shapcott, Marvin Weigand, Martha Nari Havenith, Marieke Louise Schölvinck

The paper compares human discrimination performance between oriented gratings and natural object morphs, finding that morphs are discriminated faster and over a larger range due to local color and texture features.
