Oculomotor-related measures are predictive of reading acquisition in first grade early readers

The paper shows that oculomotor dysfunction is linked to reading difficulties in early readers, suggesting oculomotor assessments should be included in vision evaluations for children with reading challenges.

Parafoveal vision reveals qualitative differences between FFA and PPA

The paper investigates how the fusiform face area (FFA) and parahippocampal place area (PPA) respond to visual eccentricity using fMRI, finding that FFA shows greater sensitivity to eccentricity than PPA, with category-dependent modulation.

The effect of virtual visual scene inclination transitions on gait modulation in healthy young vs older adults - a virtual reality study

This study examines how visual cues affect gait adjustments during incline transitions in young and older adults using virtual reality.

Size matters - larger images are better remembered during free viewing

The paper shows that larger images are better remembered during free viewing, with memorability proportional to image size, independent of other factors.

Vision affects gait speed but not patterns of muscle activation during inclined walking - a virtual reality study

This study uses virtual reality to show vision affects gait speed but not muscle activation patterns during inclined walking, highlighting the role of visual cues in gait modulation.

Studying the precuneus reveals structure-function-affect correlation in long-term meditators

This paper examines the relationship between brain structure, function, and self-reports in long-term meditators, finding negative correlations between precuneus gray matter density and meditation experience and positive affect.

Investigating face and house discrimination at foveal to parafoveal locations reveals category-specific characteristics

The paper investigates face and house discrimination at different visual field locations, finding category-specific sensitivity patterns and no hemifield biases.
