This study examines gray matter changes in congenitally blind individuals before and after sight restoration surgery, finding no post-surgery changes but suggesting white matter alterations as potential biomarkers of plasticity.

The paper identifies a human homolog of the macaque visual motion area FST using motion localizers and pRF mapping, showing its distinct functional and structural properties.

This study uses resting-state fMRI and a hidden Markov model to show that early visual deprivation alters temporal dynamics and spatial organization of brain networks in blind individuals.

The paper shows serial dependence in 3D motion perception is influenced by sensory uncertainty and can be reduced by performance feedback, suggesting a post-perceptual mechanism.

The paper identifies cortical areas that transform retinal motion signals into world motion signals using fMRI and probabilistic decoding of 3D motion stimuli.

The paper finds that individual sensitivity to visual cues predicts motion sickness severity in virtual reality, but not sex differences.

This study shows that lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) causally supports metacognitive awareness of emotional face orientation but not emotional expression.

This study links diffusion MRI measures of optic nerve integrity to clinical glaucoma markers in patients using semi-automated tractography.

The paper develops a Bayesian model to explain systematic perceptual errors in 3D motion perception and validates it with VR and 3D display experiments.
