Arguably the most foundational principle in perception research is that our experience of the
world goes beyond the retinal image; we perceive the distal environment itself, not the …

A central puzzle in vision science is how perceptions that are routinely at odds with physical
measurements of real world properties can arise from neural responses that nonetheless …

Some static patterns evoke the perception of an illusory expanding central region or
'hole.'We asked observers to rate of the magnitudes of illusory motion or expansion of black …

Urban landscape perception is essential for understanding the interaction between
individuals and the built environment, impacting urban space quality improvement. This …

We hypothesized that pupil constrictions to the glare illusion, where converging luminance
gradients subjectively enhance the perception of brightness, would be stronger for 'blue'than …

The universality of musical tones has long fascinated philosophers, scientists, musicians,
