Research on the perception of temporal order uses either temporal-order judgment (TOJ)
tasks or synchrony judgment (SJ) tasks, in both of which two stimuli are presented with some …

Human perceptual decisions are often described as optimal. Critics of this view have argued
that claims of optimality are overly flexible and lack explanatory power. Meanwhile …

Single-unit recordings conducted during perceptual decision-making tasks have yielded
tremendous insights into the neural coding of sensory stimuli. In such experiments, detection …

Infants, children and adults are capable of extracting recurring patterns from their
environment through statistical learning (SL), an implicit learning mechanism that is …

Distinct networks in the forebrain and the midbrain coordinate to control spatial attention.
The critical involvement of the superior colliculus (SC)—the central structure in the midbrain …

Brief use of a tool recalibrates multisensory representations of the user's body, a
phenomenon called tool embodiment. Despite two decades of research, little is known about …

Morgan, Dillenburger, Raphael, and Solomon have shown that observers can use different
response strategies when unsure of their answer, and, thus, they can voluntarily shift the …

Earlier spatial orientation studies used both motion-detection (eg, did I move?) and direction-
recognition (eg, did I move left/right?) paradigms. The purpose of our study was to compare …

Studies investigating the neural bases of cognitive phenomena increasingly employ
multialternative detection tasks that seek to measure the ability to detect a target stimulus or …

To avoid collisions, pedestrians depend on their ability to perceive and interpret the visual
motion of other road users. Eye movements influence motion perception, yet pedestrians' …
