Perceptual axioms are irreconcilable with Euclidean geometry

This paper shows that perceptual axioms, as experienced in optical illusions, cannot align with Euclidean geometry, indicating a fundamental disconnect between perceptual and mathematical logic.

Neural patterns of conscious visual awareness in the Riddoch syndrome

This study investigates the neural basis of conscious visual awareness in Riddoch syndrome using multimodal MRI, finding that V5 activity correlates with conscious perception of motion in blind fields.

The neural determinants of abstract beauty

This study investigates neural correlates of abstract beauty by analyzing brain activity during aesthetic ratings of abstract paintings, finding similar patterns to facial beauty in visual and medial frontal cortex activity.
