Multisensory processing in review: from physiology to behaviour

D Alais, F Newell, P Mamassian - Seeing and perceiving, 2010 - brill.com
Research in multisensory processes has exploded over the last decade. Tremendous
advances have been made in a variety of fields from single-unit neural recordings and …

Linear summation of repulsive and attractive serial dependencies: Orientation and motion dependencies sum in motion perception

D Alais, J Leung, E Van der Burg - Journal of Neuroscience, 2017 - Soc Neuroscience
Recent work from several groups has shown that perception of various visual attributes in
human observers at a given moment is biased toward what was recently seen. This positive …

Contrast sensitivity in natural scenes depends on edge as well as spatial frequency structure

PJ Bex, SG Solomon, SC Dakin - Journal of Vision, 2009 - jov.arvojournals.org
The contrast sensitivity function is routinely measured in the laboratory with sine-wave
gratings presented on homogenous gray backgrounds; natural images are instead …

Natural images dominate in binocular rivalry

DH Baker, EW Graf - … of the National Academy of Sciences, 2009 - National Acad Sciences
Ecological approaches to perception have demonstrated that information encoding by the
visual system is informed by the natural environment, both in terms of simple image …

The duration of uncertain times: audiovisual information about intervals is integrated in a statistically optimal fashion

J Hartcher-O'Brien, M Di Luca, MO Ernst - PloS one, 2014 - journals.plos.org
Often multisensory information is integrated in a statistically optimal fashion where each
sensory source is weighted according to its precision. This integration scheme is statistically …

Auditory and tactile signals combine to influence vision during binocular rivalry

C Lunghi, MC Morrone, D Alais - Journal of Neuroscience, 2014 - Soc Neuroscience
Resolution of perceptual ambiguity is one function of cross-modal interactions. Here we
investigate whether auditory and tactile stimuli can influence binocular rivalry generated by …

The temporal frequency tuning of continuous flash suppression reveals peak suppression at very low frequencies

S Han, C Lunghi, D Alais - Scientific Reports, 2016 - nature.com
Continuous flash suppression (CFS) is a psychophysical technique where a rapidly
changing Mondrian pattern viewed by one eye suppresses the target in the other eye for …

Space, time, and dynamics of binocular interactions

M Yassin, M Lev, U Polat - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
Binocular summation (BS), defined as the superiority of binocular over monocular visual
performance, shows that thresholds are about 40%(a factor of 1.4) better in binocular than in …

Binocular fusion disorders impair basic visual processing

L Benhaim-Sitbon, M Lev, U Polat - Scientific Reports, 2022 - nature.com
In an era of increasing screen consumption, the requirement for binocular vision is
demanding, leading to the emergence of syndromes such as the computer vision syndrome …

Finding flicker: Critical differences in temporal frequency capture attention

J Cass, E Van der Burg, D Alais - Frontiers in psychology, 2011 - frontiersin.org
Rapid visual flicker is known to capture attention. Here we show slow flicker can also
capture attention under reciprocal temporal conditions. Observers searched for a target line …
