[HTML][HTML] Invisible stimuli, implicit thresholds: Why invisibility judgments cannot be interpreted in isolation

T Schmidt - Advances in Cognitive Psychology, 2015 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Some studies of unconscious cognition rely on judgments of participants stating that they
have “not seen” the critical stimulus (eg, in a masked-priming experiment). Trials in which …

Gamma flicker elicits positive affect without awareness

BT Heerebout, AEY Tap, M Rotteveel… - Consciousness and …, 2013 - Elsevier
High-frequency oscillations emerged as a neural code for both positive affect and fluent
attentional processing from evolutionary simulations with artificial neural networks. Visual …

Neural response dynamics of spiking and local field potential activity depend on CRT monitor refresh rate in the tree shrew primary visual cortex

J Veit, A Bhattacharyya, R Kretz… - Journal of …, 2011 - journals.physiology.org
Entrainment of neural activity to luminance impulses during the refresh of cathode ray tube
monitor displays has been observed in the primary visual cortex (V1) of humans and …

Dissociation between temporal attention and Consciousness: Unconscious temporal cue induces temporal expectation effect

X Ding, H Ji, W Yu, L Xu, Y Lin, Y Sun - Consciousness and Cognition, 2024 - Elsevier
The debate over the independence of attention and consciousness is ongoing. Prior studies
have established that invisible spatial cues can direct attention. However, our exploration …

Behavioral evidence for attention selection as entrained synchronization without awareness.

F Zhang, Z Lin, Y Zhang, M Zhang - Journal of Experimental …, 2021 - psycnet.apa.org
Animal physiological and human neuroimaging studies have established a link between
attention and γ-band (30–90 Hz) oscillations and synchronizations. However, a behavioral …

No attentional capture from invisible flicker

D Alais, SM Locke, J Leung, E Van der Burg - Scientific Reports, 2016 - nature.com
We tested whether fast flicker can capture attention using eight flicker frequencies from 20–
96 Hz, including several too high to be perceived (> 50 Hz). Using a 480 Hz visual display …

Can the causal role of brain oscillations be studied through rhythmic brain stimulation?

T Lobo, MJ Brookes, M Bauer - Journal of Vision, 2021 - jov.arvojournals.org
Many studies have investigated the causal relevance of brain oscillations using rhythmic
stimulation, either through direct-brain or sensory stimulation. Yet, how intrinsic rhythms …

Transient twinkle perception is induced by sequential presentation of stimuli that flicker at frequencies above the critical fusion frequency

Y Nakajima, Y Sakaguchi - Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2015 - Springer
The critical fusion frequency (CFF) is a threshold that represents the temporal limits of the
human visual system. If two flickering stimuli with equal subjective luminances are presented …

Subliminal gamma flicker draws attention even in the absence of transition-flash cues

SW Cheadle, A Parton, HJ Müller… - Journal of …, 2011 - journals.physiology.org
We recently reported evidence indicating that selective attention is deployed to a target
location in a multi-object display, when the target event (a change of one of the objects) is …

Does visual flicker phase at gamma frequency modulate neural signal propagation and stimulus selection?

M Bauer, T Akam, S Joseph, E Freeman… - Journal of …, 2012 - jov.arvojournals.org
Oscillatory synchronization of neuronal populations has been proposed to play a role in
perceptual integration and attentional processing. However, some conflicting evidence has …
