A theoretical mechanism for ocular emmetropization.

The paper proposes a theoretical mechanism explaining how the eye detects defocus and adjusts its growth to achieve emmetropization through retinal signal processing during saccadic eye movements.

Effect of level of autistic traits on motion inspection time performance in centre-surround suppression tasks

This study examines how autistic traits affect motion inspection time in a centre-surround suppression task, finding that higher autistic traits correlate with better performance in specific conditions.

Red backgrounds have different effects on electrophysiological responses to fearful faces in groups with low and high autistic tendency

The paper investigates how red backgrounds affect electrophysiological responses to fearful faces in individuals with low and high autistic tendencies, finding differential effects on P100 amplitudes.

Concurrent Multimodal Data Acquisition During Brain Scanning is within Reach

This paper presents a multimodal, synchronized system for simultaneous hand, eye, and brain recording during a visuomotor task and reports pilot results validating its use.

Intranasal oxytocin modulates very early visual processing of emotional faces

This study investigates how nasal oxytocin affects early and late visual processing of emotional faces using electrophysiological measures.

Cortical excitation-inhibition ratio mediates the effect of pre-attentive auditory processing deficits on interpersonal difficulties

The paper investigates how excitation-inhibition ratios in the brain mediate the link between auditory processing deficits and psychosocial difficulties in autism and schizophrenia spectrum disorders.

Dyslexic children show altered temporal structure of the nonlinear VEP.

This study investigates dyslexia by analyzing nonlinear visual evoked potentials (VEP) in children, finding altered temporal structure in magnocellular processing and visual field differences.

Metacontrast masking as a measure of change detection: Children with poor reading fluency show impaired change detection for both letters and shapes.

This study investigates change detection in children with and without reading difficulties, finding that good readers outperform poor readers in detecting changes in both letters and shapes, suggesting a general visual attention deficit in dyslexia.

Visual mapping on the brain - caveats for multifocal fMRI

The paper evaluates multifocal fMRI for visual mapping, finding strong activation in peripheral regions but no activation in central regions, suggesting gaze instability may affect results.
