A recent 'crisis of confidence'has emerged in the empirical sciences. Several studies have
suggested that questionable research practices (QRPs) such as optional stopping and …

The human brain's executive systems have a vital role in deciding and selecting among
actions. Selection among alternatives also occurs in the perceptual domain; for instance …

As part of a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of perceptual traits in healthy adults, we
measured stereo acuity, the duration of alternative percepts in binocular rivalry and the …

Studies of perception usually emphasize processes that are largely universal across
observers and—except for short-term fluctuations—stationary over time. Here we test the …

The neural mechanisms underlying conscious visual perception have been extensively
investigated using bistable perception paradigms. Previous functional magnetic resonance …

Neural correlates of consciousness (NCC) have been a topic of study for nearly two
decades. In functional imaging studies, several regions have been proposed to constitute …

Bistable stimuli, such as the Necker Cube, demonstrate that experience can change in the
absence of changes in the environment. Such phenomena can be used to assess stimulus …

Bistable perception occurs when a stimulus is ambiguous and has two distinct
interpretations that spontaneously alternate in observers' consciousness. Studies using …

Binocular rivalry ensues when different images are presented to the 2 eyes with conscious
perception alternating between the possible interpretations. For large rivalry displays …

Social cues conveyed by the human face, such as eye gaze direction, are evaluated even
before they are consciously perceived. While there is substantial individual variability in …
