Temporal tuning of continuous flash suppression for 3D objects reflects intrinsic dynamics of visual awareness
Understanding how visual information gains access to conscious awareness is a central issue in cognitive neuroscience. Continuous Flash Suppression (CFS) provides a powerful method to investigate this transition by reliably suppressing visual stimuli from awareness. Previous work by Zhu, Drewes, and Melcher (2016) showed that mask frequency influences suppression strength of 2D stimuli, with a peak at 6 Hz. However, whether these findings general…
Aesthetic speed preferences when viewing dance synchronize to a ‘natural’ pace of human movement
The human body in motion is typically in service of everyday tasks - but it can also be aesthetically pleasing, as in dance. Is there a common property underlying how we perceive and appreciate human motion in both everyday and aesthetic contexts? Here we focus on one of the most basic features of motion: the speed at which it unfolds. In a 'set-the-pace' task, people adjusted the playback speed of a broad range of videos to what was "maximally p…
The artists’ brain
Although everyone has the capacity to draw, only some develop the expertise to produce professional art. Despite extensive creativity research, surprisingly little is known about how years of visual artistic training reshape the neural architecture that distinguishes professional artists from nonartist. To address this gap, we applied joint independent component analysis to detect structural (gray matter volume, white matter fractional anisotropy…
Seeing fast and slow
There is a speed-accuracy trade-off in perception. The ability to quickly extract sensory information is critical for survival, while extended processing can improve our accuracy. It has been suggested that emotions can change our style of processing, but their influence on processing speed is not yet clear. In three experiments, combining online and laboratory studies with different emotion induction procedures, we investigated the influence of …
