In our new review, we discuss how aiming for the best answers leads to inconsistent perception: doi.org/10.3389/fnint.… In this digest, I will present some examples. The first is that the Brentano illusion affects the length (green) of a line, but not the endpoints (blue) (1/5)

Inspired by recent preprint failing to replicate some of our earlier findings, we just did a study that suggests: 1. Some (but obv not all) size illusions -do- share common mechanisms. 2. It really does matter -how- you measure the illusion strength. doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

Simran Purokayastha, Mariel Roberts &Marisa Carrasco The Carrasco Lab investigate whether microsaccades vary with discriminability around the visual field. doi.org/10.1167/jov.24…

My review on neural adaptation in the visual system is now published in CORTEX! I'm particularly proud of this one. Featuring some new twists on classic visual illusions. doi.org/10.1016/j.cort… Psychological Sciences Cognitive Neuroscience Hub

An accessible introduction to constructing and interpreting Bayesian models of perceptual decision-making and action. "Bayesian Models of Perception and Action" by Wei Ji Ma, Kording Lab 🦖, and Dan Goldreich is available now 👉🏻 bit.ly/4bgToFp #OpenAccess

Happy to share this brief preprint w/ Oh-Sang Kwon, Minwoo Kim & Hinze Hogendoorn. We suggest that the brain may be able to rapidly re-weight its inputs and predictions during perceptual inference, explaining the puzzling phenomenon of 'position resets'. osf.io/preprints/psya…

Excited to announce that Nature Neuroscience Nature Neuroscience has published my article "A sensory-motor theory of the neocortex" (based on active predictive coding). #Neuroscience #AI #brain PDF: homes.cs.washington.edu/~rao/Rao-Natur… Article page: nature.com/articles/s4159…

You may remember this pretty figure summarizing how tweaking pre-processing and analysis can affect study outcomes, effect size, and statistical power of an ERP study. Now you can find it in Psychophysiology: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author/Y… Dr Suzy J Styles Emily Kappenman Vanja Kovic

I procrastinated again by starting a tutorial on "cognitive models" (stats models that fit well reaction time data) in #Julia dominiquemakowski.github.io/CognitiveModel… I'm quite happy about the animations I managed to make. Julia has a lot of potential!

Do persons with Autism Spectrum Disorder show disrupted Bayesian integration of perceptual priors and sensory likelihoods? Intruiging new psychophysical study suggests they do not. osf.io/249rv

🆕First-author meta-analytic review in Journal of Psychosomatic Research examining links between personality, cognitive factors x affective symptomatology inclusive of data from 3,287 individuals with #endometriosis 🖇️ Findings emphasise the importance of prioritising proximal cognitive factors

Joe Melling et al. investigate a novel visual illusion in which moving frames cause a single flashed stimulus to be perceived in two locations simultaneously, jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx?a…. Joe Melling Centre for Consciousness & Contemplative Studies Psychological Sciences

Nice quick read with an important point: even if a model predicts brain data well it doesn't mean the model uses the same mechanism the brain does. More expressive models generally do better than less expressive models regardless of mechanism.

New preprint using dynamic causal modelling during inattentional blindness where we show support for both sensory and frontal theories of consciousness with Elise Rowe and Prof Marta Garrido 🙂
