Seeing Through Touch: Visual Reliability Shapes Tactile Guidance in 360° Virtual Reality

This study investigates how visual and tactile cues are combined in 360° virtual reality, finding that degraded vision increases reliance on tactile guidance and alters multisensory integration.

"Magnetic Sand" : Illusions of Interactivity

The paper identifies new visual illusions where hand movements near a random noise display create the perception of interactive control over the display, suggesting involvement of action capture mechanisms.

Multitasking boosts muscular endurance task performance due to elevated arousal level unattainable by the endurance task alone

This paper shows multitasking can improve muscular endurance performance through increased arousal, not just by reducing interference.

Did you see the sound? A Bayesian Perspective on Crossmodal Perception in Low Vision

The paper investigates crossmodal perception in low vision and finds that auditory-driven illusions depend on local visual reliability rather than global enhancement.

Bayesian Causal Inference Accounts for Multisensory Filling-In at the Blind Spot

The paper investigates multisensory perception at the blind spot using a Bayesian Causal Inference model, finding preserved integration and flexible parameter adaptation.

Practice makes imperfect: stronger implicit interference with practice in individuals at high risk of developing Alzheimer's disease

The paper shows that high-risk individuals for Alzheimer's show stronger implicit interference with practice compared to low-risk individuals, indicating early cognitive differences.

Method for Spatially Confined Stimulation by Retinal Scanning Displays: Are Blind Spots Really Blind?

This paper evaluates a laser-based retinal scanning display to map and stimulate the retinal blind spot, examining pupillary responses and implicit visual perception.

Attractiveness in the eyes: A possibility of positive loop between transient pupil constriction and facial attraction

The paper shows that viewing attractive faces causes transient pupil constriction, suggesting a link between pupil response and facial attractiveness beyond luminance effects.

The Brain Knows enough to take into account Light and Shadow

This paper investigates how environmental light color and shadow affect color perception, showing that specific colors can reduce illusions like the checkerboard shadow illusion.

Causally Linking Neural Dominance to Perceptual Dominance in a Multisensory Conflict

The paper demonstrates that neuronal dominance in the auditory cortex can predict and influence visual perception during audio-visual conflict using magnetoencephalography and neurofeedback experiments.

Team flow is a unique brain state associated with enhanced information integration and neural synchrony

The paper investigates the neural basis of team flow using EEG hyper-scanning and finds enhanced neural synchrony and integrated information in the left temporal cortex during team flow.
