Spatiotemporal distortions of visual perception at the time of saccades.

19 Oct 2009 Both space and time are grossly distorted during saccades. Here we show that the two distortions are strongly linked, and that both could be a consequence of the transient remapping mechanisms that affect visual neurons perisaccadically. We measured ... Read more...

Cognitive performance during prismatic displacement as a partial analogue of "space fog".

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: The fact that microgravity adaptation and recovery from the cognitive deficit of "space fog" follow approximately the same time course raises the possibility that they are related to one another. Two experiments tested this hypothesis. ... Read more...

Evaluation of an imputed pitch velocity model of the auditory tau effect.

30 Jul 2009 This article extends an imputed pitch velocity model of the auditory kappa effect proposed by Henry and McAuley (2009a) to the auditory tau effect. Two experiments were conducted using an AXB design in which listeners judged the relative pitch of a ... Read more...
