Pupillometry as an integrated readout of distinct attentional networks
The course of pupillary constriction and dilation provides an easy-to-access, inexpensive,
and noninvasive readout of brain activity. We propose a new taxonomy of factors affecting …

Neuromodulatory correlates of pupil dilation
RS Larsen, J Waters - Frontiers in neural circuits, 2018 - frontiersin.org
Pupillometry has long been used as a measure of brain state. Changes in pupil diameter are
thought to coincide with the activity of neuromodulators, including noradrenaline and …

Phasic activation of dorsal raphe serotonergic neurons increases pupil size
Transient variations in pupil size (PS) under constant luminance are coupled to rapid
changes in arousal state, 1–3 which have been interpreted as vigilance, 4 salience, 5 or a …

An information-theoretic perspective on the costs of cognition
In statistics and machine learning, model accuracy is traded off with complexity, which can
be viewed as the amount of information extracted from the data. Here, we discuss how …

Cognitive and ocular factors jointly determine pupil responses under equiluminance
Changes in pupil diameter can reflect high-level cognitive signals that depend on central
neuromodulatory mechanisms. However, brain mechanisms that adjust pupil size are also …

[HTML][HTML] A predictive account of how novelty influences declarative memory
A rich body of studies in the human and non-human literature has examined the question
how novelty influences memory. For a variety of different stimuli, ranging from simple objects …

Consciousness regained: disentangling mechanisms, brain systems, and behavioral responses
How consciousness (experience) arises from and relates to material brain processes (the
“mind-body problem”) has been pondered by thinkers for centuries, and is regarded as …

When generating a prediction boosts learning: The element of surprise
Using both behavioral and eye-tracking methodology, we tested whether and how asking
students to generate predictions is an efficient technique to improve learning. In particular …

[HTML][HTML] Music chills: The eye pupil as a mirror to music's soul
This study evaluated whether music-induced aesthetic “chill” responses, which typically
correspond to peak emotional experiences, can be objectively monitored by degree of …
