Fearful expressions gain preferential access to awareness during continuous flash suppression.

E Yang, DH Zald, R Blake - Emotion, 2007 - psycnet.apa.org
Rapid evaluation of ecologically relevant stimuli may lead to their preferential access to

Inference for psychometric functions in the presence of nonstationary behavior

I Fründ, NV Haenel, FA Wichmann - Journal of vision, 2011 - jov.arvojournals.org
Measuring sensitivity is at the heart of psychophysics. Often, sensitivity is derived from
estimates of the psychometric function. This function relates response probability to stimulus …

Quantifying the effect of intertrial dependence on perceptual decisions

I Fründ, FA Wichmann, JH Macke - Journal of vision, 2014 - jov.arvojournals.org
In the perceptual sciences, experimenters study the causal mechanisms of perceptual
systems by probing observers with carefully constructed stimuli. It has long been known …

Content-specific expectations enhance stimulus detectability by increasing perceptual sensitivity.

T Stein, MV Peelen - Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2015 - psycnet.apa.org
The detectability of an object in our visual environment is primarily determined by the
object's low-level visual salience, resulting from the physical characteristics of the object and …

Categorical sensitivity to color differences

C Witzel, KR Gegenfurtner - Journal of vision, 2013 - jov.arvojournals.org
Categorical perception provides a potential link between color perception and the linguistic
categories that correspond to the basic color terms. We examined whether the sensory …
