Perceptual Priors Update Contextual Feedback Processing in V1

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Contextual information and prior knowledge facilitate perceptual processing, improving our recognition of even distorted or obstructed visual inputs. As a result, neuronal processing elicited by identical sensory inputs varies depending on the context in which we encounter those inputs.

Overreliance on Orthographic Similarity in L2‐Japanese Conceptual Processing by L1‐Chinese Learners

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Linguistics, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 1807-1820, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Orthographic and phonological similarities between first (L1) and second (L2) languages can facilitate L2 processing. Particularly, L1‐Chinese learners of L2‐Japanese can benefit from the shared morphosyllabic Chinese characters (Japanese kanji/Chinese hanzi) because of their similar orthographies.

Control Node Placement and Structural Controllability of Water Quality Dynamics in Drinking Networks

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Chlorine, the most widely used disinfectant, needs to be adequately distributed in water distribution networks (WDNs) to maintain consistent residual levels and ensure safe water. This is performed through control node injections at the treatment plant and via booster stations distributed across the WDNs.
