Spatial grouping determines temporal integration [PDF]
To make sense out of a continuously changing visual world, people need to integrate features across space and time. Despite more than a century of research, the mechanisms of features integration are still a matter of debate.

Development of Auditory Selective Attention: Why Children Struggle to Hear in Noisy Environments [PDF]
Children’s hearing deteriorates markedly in the presence of unpredictable noise. To explore why, 187 school-age children (4–11 years) and 15 adults performed a tone-in-noise detection task, in which the masking noise varied randomly between every ...

Not all adversarial examples require a complex defense : identifying over-optimized adversarial examples with IQR-based logit thresholding [PDF]
Detecting adversarial examples currently stands as one of the biggest challenges in the field of deep learning. Adversarial attacks, which produce adversarial examples, increase the prediction likelihood of a target class for a particular data point ...

Spatial contexts can inhibit a mislocalization of visual stimuli during smooth pursuit [PDF]
The position of a flash presented during pursuit is mislocalized in the direction of the pursuit. Although this has been explained by a temporal mismatch between the slow visual processing of flash and fast efferent signals on eye positions, here we show

Adaptive Optics Observations of Exoplanets, Brown Dwarfs, & Binary Stars [PDF]
The current direct observations of brown dwarfs and exoplanets have been obtained using instruments not specifically designed for overcoming the large contrast ratio between the host star and any wide-separation faint companions. However, we are about to

Alpha-band rhythms in visual task performance: phase-locking by rhythmic sensory stimulation [PDF]
Oscillations are an important aspect of neuronal activity. Interestingly, oscillatory patterns are also observed in behaviour, such as in visual performance measures after the presentation of a brief sensory event in the visual or another modality. These

General Algorithm For Improved Lattice Actions on Parallel Computing Architectures [PDF]
Quantum field theories underlie all of our understanding of the fundamental forces of nature. The are relatively few first principles approaches to the study of quantum field theories [such as quantum chromodynamics (QCD) relevant to the strong ...

Privately Connecting Mobility to Infectious Diseases via Applied Cryptography [PDF]
Human mobility is undisputedly one of the critical factors in infectious disease dynamics. Until a few years ago, researchers had to rely on static data to model human mobility, which was then combined with a transmission model of a particular disease ...

In CMB science, the simplest idea to remove a contaminated sky region is to multiply the sky map with a mask that is 0 for the contaminated region and 1 elsewhere, which is also called a top-hat masking.

Time-locked perceptual fading induced by visual transients [PDF]
After prolonged fixation, a stationary object placed in the peripheral visual field fades and disappears from our visual awareness, especially at low luminance contrast (the Troxler effect).
