Research into weight illusions has provided valuable insight into the functioning of the
human perceptual system. Associations between the weight of an object and its other …

Humans detect faces with direct gaze more rapidly than they do faces with averted gaze.
Evidence suggests that the visual information of faces with direct gaze reaches conscious …

Many studies using electroencephalography consistently reported a larger N170 (N1)
response in the visual cortices to inverted than upright face images (the face inversion effect …

Visual control of our actions can be unconscious as well as conscious. For example, when a
pedestrian steps onto a street and then suddenly steps back, to avoid being hit by an …

Size aftereffects are a compelling perceptual phenomenon in which we perceive the size of
a stimulus as being different than it actually is following a period of visual stimulation of an …

Perceptual conscious experiences result from non-conscious processes that precede them.
We document a new characteristic of the cognitive system: the speed with which visual …

An intention to move distorts the perception of time. For example, a visual stimulus
presented during the preparation of manual movements is perceived longer than actual …

The primate visual system is assumed to comprise two main pathways: a ventral pathway for
shape and color perception and a dorsal pathway for spatial processing and visuomotor …

The size-weight illusion (SWI) pertains to the experience of perceiving the smaller of two
equally weighted objects as heavier. Competing theories to explain the illusion can be …

An exploration of the possibility of a temporal location for objective reality is undertaken with
reference to neurophysiological research demonstrating that consciousness is a function of …
