Perception of audio-visual synchrony is modulated by walking speed and step cycle phase

This study shows that walking speed and step cycle phase affect audio-visual synchrony perception, with slower walking reducing sensitivity and synchrony peaking during the swing phase.

An automatic domain-general error signal is shared across tasks and predicts confidence in different sensory modalities

The paper shows a neural signal predicting confidence across different sensory tasks without explicit feedback.

The speed and phase of locomotion dictate saccade probability and simultaneous low-frequency power spectra

This study shows that walking speed and step rhythm influence saccade probability and EEG oscillatory power, peaking after heel-strike.

Walking entrains unique oscillations for central and peripheral visual detection

The paper shows that visual detection performance oscillates during walking, with similar frequencies but different amplitudes and phases in peripheral and parafoveal visual fields.

A new 'CFS tracking' paradigm reveals uniform suppression depth regardless of target complexity or salience

The paper introduces a new CFS tracking paradigm (tCFS) to measure suppression depth, finding uniform suppression across target types regardless of complexity or salience.

Walking entrains unique oscillations in performance on a visual detection task

The paper examines visual detection task performance during walking, finding oscillations in accuracy, reaction times, and response likelihood at ~2 Hz, aligned with the swing phase of each step.

Feedback information sharing in the human brain reflects bistable perception in the absence of report

The paper uses eye-movement analysis and information theory to separate perception from report in bistable visual stimuli, showing distinct neural mechanisms for integration and differentiation.

Peripersonal tracking accuracy is limited by the speed and phase of locomotion

This study shows that walking speed and phase affect visuo-motor tracking accuracy, indicating that locomotion constraints influence sensorimotor performance.

Alpha oscillations and stimulus-evoked activity dissociate metacognitive reports of attention, visibility and confidence in a rapid visual detection task

The paper examines how alpha oscillations relate to subjective reports of attention, visibility, and confidence in a visual detection task, finding distinct correlations with different measures.

A neural representation of invisibility: when stimulus-specific neural activity negatively correlates with conscious experience

The paper shows that neural activity increases when stimuli become invisible, challenging assumptions about the relationship between neural responses and conscious experience.

Measuring graded changes in consciousness through multi-target filling-in

The paper uses perceptual filling-in to study graded changes in consciousness by analyzing neural correlates through EEG and subjective reports.

Attention periodically samples competing stimuli during binocular rivalry

This study investigates how attention samples competing stimuli during binocular rivalry, finding that attentional sampling rates change based on the target of attention.

Simulated forward and backward self motion, based on realistic parameters, causes strong motion induced blindness

This study investigates Motion Induced Blindness (MIB) by simulating forward and backward self-motion and finds that faster mask speeds and upper visual field targets increase target disappearance.
