Protective effect of prior knowledge in ageing

This study shows that older adults maintain the ability to use prior knowledge for visual perception despite age-related sensory decline.

Reduced susceptibility to experimentally-induced complex visual hallucinations with age

This study finds that older adults report fewer complex visual hallucinations than younger adults in an experimental setting, suggesting reduced hallucination proneness with age.

Temporal confounds emulate multivariate fMRI measures of perceptual learning

This paper shows that temporal confounds in fMRI studies of perceptual learning can create false signals of neural reorganisation, and suggests ways to mitigate these issues.

Perceptual reorganisation from prior knowledge emerges late in childhood

This study shows that perceptual reorganisation driven by prior knowledge develops late in childhood, as demonstrated by children's inability to recognize degraded images compared to adults and neural networks.

Discrete confidence levels revealed by sequential decisions

The paper introduces a dual-decisions method to infer confidence without explicit valuation, showing human confidence levels are discrete rather than continuous.
