Suboptimality in perceptual decision making
Human perceptual decisions are often described as optimal. Critics of this view have argued
that claims of optimality are overly flexible and lack explanatory power. Meanwhile …

On the discrepant results in synchrony judgment and temporal-order judgment tasks: a quantitative model
Research on the perception of temporal order uses either temporal-order judgment (TOJ)
tasks or synchrony judgment (SJ) tasks, in both of which two stimuli are presented with some …

Map** spikes to sensations
Single-unit recordings conducted during perceptual decision-making tasks have yielded
tremendous insights into the neural coding of sensory stimuli. In such experiments, detection …

The developmental trajectory of children's auditory and visual statistical learning abilities: Modality‐based differences in the effect of age
Infants, children and adults are capable of extracting recurring patterns from their
environment through statistical learning (SL), an implicit learning mechanism that is …

Does the superior colliculus control perceptual sensitivity or choice bias during attention? Evidence from a multialternative decision framework
Distinct networks in the forebrain and the midbrain coordinate to control spatial attention.
The critical involvement of the superior colliculus (SC)—the central structure in the midbrain …

Visual illusion of tool use recalibrates tactile perception
Brief use of a tool recalibrates multisensory representations of the user's body, a
phenomenon called tool embodiment. Despite two decades of research, little is known about …

Whole body motion-detection tasks can yield much lower thresholds than direction-recognition tasks: implications for the role of vibration
SE Chaudhuri, F Karmali… - Journal of …, 2013 - journals.physiology.org
Earlier spatial orientation studies used both motion-detection (eg, did I move?) and direction-
recognition (eg, did I move left/right?) paradigms. The purpose of our study was to compare …

Shifts of the psychometric function: Distinguishing bias from perceptual effects
Morgan, Dillenburger, Raphael, and Solomon have shown that observers can use different
response strategies when unsure of their answer, and, thus, they can voluntarily shift the …

Distinguishing bias from sensitivity effects in multialternative detection tasks
Studies investigating the neural bases of cognitive phenomena increasingly employ
multialternative detection tasks that seek to measure the ability to detect a target stimulus or …

The role of eye movements in perceiving vehicle speed and time-to-arrival at the roadside
To avoid collisions, pedestrians depend on their ability to perceive and interpret the visual
motion of other road users. Eye movements influence motion perception, yet pedestrians' …
