The paper shows that intention to perceive motion in ambiguous stimuli pre-activates motion-related neural representations in dorsal visual areas before perception occurs.

The paper investigates the frame effect, showing that moving frames influence perceived probe positions spatially but not temporally, with displacement being more critical than motion signals.

This study investigates differences in how perception, smooth pursuit, and saccades process visual motion signals using a double-drift stimulus, revealing distinct mechanisms in combining motor signals with target position.

This paper introduces a novel pupillometry-based method to measure equiluminance points in non-verbal subjects without verbal instruction or training.

The paper investigates the frame effect on flashed probes, showing it persists across various frame movements and is influenced by attention and perceived motion.

The paper measures the double-drift illusion using manual tracking and finds that the illusion resets randomly over time following a gamma distribution.

The paper investigates whether motion-induced position shifts reset due to time or distance limits, finding that resets occur randomly over time, not distance.

The paper demonstrates an illusion where a moving frame stabilizes the perceived positions of its edges and internal probes, suggesting a mechanism for visual constancy during motion.

The paper uses fMRI and multivariate pattern analysis to show that the perceived path in the double-drift illusion is not represented in early visual areas but emerges in higher-order brain regions.

The study investigates the double-drift illusion, showing that eye movement tracking does not reduce the illusion, and that the illusion is eliminated on black backgrounds.

This study investigates retinotopic bias in face identity recognition, finding that familiarity reduces spatial variability in recognition responses across visual field locations.
