Revisitation of the family tie between Münsterberg and Taylor-Woodhouse illusions.

Viewpoint-dependent recognition performance was tested in two groups of twelve persons who knew each other very well. Participants'...

abstract：:Face aftereffects can provide information on how faces are stored by the human visual system (eg Leopold et al, 2001 Nature Neuroscience 4 89-94), but few studies have used robustly represented (highly familiar) faces. In this study we investigated the influence of facial familiarity on adaptation effects. Participant...

Depending on the type of mask employed, the triangle could be perceived when the inducing discs were not phenomenally present, or the discs could be seen with the triangle not present. These findings suggest that no single set of mechanisms, phys...

abstract：:A brief history of quantitative assessments of interocular transfer (IOT) of the motion aftereffect (MAE) is presented. Recent research indicates that the MAE occurs as a consequence of adapting detectors for relative rather than retinal motion. When gratings above and below a stationary, fixated grating are moved in ...

If digits 2 and 4 are placed on the outer coins and digit 3 on the middle coin, the latter also feels cold; a striking example of perceptual filling in of temperature. We show that if digits 2 and 4 are pla...
