Adaptation of the Mullen Scales of Early Learning for use among infants aged 5- to 24-months in rural Gambia.
(Wiley, 2019-02-09)Infants in low-resource settings are at heightened risk for compromised cognitive development due to a multitude of environmental insults in their surroundings. However, the onset of adverse outcomes and trajectory of ... -
Attention modulates trans-saccadic integration.
(2018-01)With every saccade, humans must reconcile the low resolution peripheral information available before a saccade, with the high resolution foveal information acquired after the saccade. While research has shown that we are ... -
An automated platform for high-throughput mouse behavior and physiology with voluntary head-fixation.
(2017-10-30)Recording neural activity during animal behavior is a cornerstone of modern brain research. However, integration of cutting-edge technologies for neural circuit analysis with complex behavioral measurements poses a severe ... -
Efficient coding of natural images in the mouse visual cortex.
(Springer Nature, 2024-03-19)How the activity of neurons gives rise to natural vision remains a matter of intense investigation. The mid-level visual areas along the ventral stream are selective to a common class of natural images-textures-but a ... -
Humans represent the precision and utility of information acquired across fixations.
(2022-02-14)Our environment contains an abundance of objects which humans interact with daily, gathering visual information using sequences of eye-movements to choose which object is best-suited for a particular task. This process is ... -
An in-depth cognitive examination of individuals with superior face recognition skills.
(2016-09)Previous work has reported the existence of "super-recognisers" (SRs), or individuals with extraordinary face recognition skills. However, the precise underpinnings of this ability have not yet been investigated. In this ... -
Mental object rotation based on two-dimensional visual representations.
(2022-11-07)The discovery of mental rotation was one of the most significant landmarks in experimental psychology, leading to the ongoing assumption that to visually compare objects from different three-dimensional viewpoints, we use ... -
Optimal trans-saccadic integration relies on visual working memory.
(2018-12)Saccadic eye movements alter the visual processing of objects of interest by bringing them from the periphery, where there is only low-resolution vision, to the high-resolution fovea. Evidence suggests that people are able ... -
A review of interactions between peripheral and foveal vision.
(2020-11-02)Visual processing varies dramatically across the visual field. These differences start in the retina and continue all the way to the visual cortex. Despite these differences in processing, the perceptual experience of ... -
The role of affective touch in whole-body embodiment remains equivocal.
(2021-01)Previous studies have highlighted that affective touch delivered at slow velocities (1-10 cm/s) enhances body-part embodiment during multisensory illusions, yet its role towards whole-body embodiment is less established. ... -
Stronger saccadic suppression of displacement and blanking effect in children.
(2020-10-01)Humans do not notice small displacements to objects that occur during saccades, termed saccadic suppression of displacement (SSD), and this effect is reduced when a blank is introduced between the pre- and postsaccadic ... -
Transsaccadic integration is dominated by early, independent noise.
(2019-06-03)Humans are able to integrate pre- and postsaccadic percepts of an object across saccades to maintain perceptual stability. Previous studies have used Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) to determine that integration occurs ... -
Visuo-thermal congruency modulates the sense of body ownership.
(2022-07-22)Thermosensation has been redefined as an interoceptive modality that provides information about the homeostatic state of the body. However, the contribution of thermosensory signals to the sense of body ownership remains ...
