Temporal competition between odorants: effect of different time intervals on the perception of monorhinic and dichorhinic binary mixtures.

abstract：:Observing actions performed by other persons can subsequently influence our own motor behaviours. However, it is unknown whether the shadows cast by such actions can also have an impact on the observers' actions. Here we show that the mere observation of a cast shadow can influence imitative behaviours. Specifically, ...

Results showed that attention decreases the fusion limit. Observers perceived diplopia of a binocular line within +/-26.5 arcmin disparity (+/- correspond to un...
