Nested Selves: Self‐Organization and Shared Markov Blankets in Prenatal Development in Humans
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract The immune system is a central component of organismic function in humans. This paper addresses self‐organization of biological systems in relation to—and nested within—other biological systems in pregnancy. Pregnancy constitutes a fundamental state for human embodiment and a key step in the evolution and conservation of our species. While not

Stimulus frequency alone can account for the size effect in number comparison
Acta Psychologica, 2023 In a number comparison task, the size effect (i.e, smaller values are easier to compare than larger values) is usually attributed to a psychophysics-based representation.

Why Not Study Polytonal Psychophysics?
Empirical Musicology Review, 2007 The relative consonance/dissonance of 2-tone intervals is well understood both experimentally and theoretically and provides a strong foundation for explaining why diatonic scales or their subsets are used in most musical cultures.

Pruriception and neuronal coding in nociceptor subtypes in human and nonhuman primates
eLife, 2021 In humans, intradermal administration of β-alanine (ALA) and bovine adrenal medulla peptide 8–22 (BAM8-22) evokes the sensation of itch. Currently, it is unknown which human dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons express the receptors of these pruritogens ...

Perceptual Scale Expansion: An Efficient Angular Coding Strategy For Locomotor Space [PDF]
, 2011 Whereas most sensory information is coded on a logarithmic scale, linear expansion of a limited range may provide a more efficient coding for the angular variables important to precise motor control.

Visual Neuroscience, 2014 AbstractWe review the features of the S-cone system that appeal to the psychophysicist and summarize the celebrated characteristics of S-cone mediated vision. Two factors are emphasized: First, the fine stimulus control that is required to isolate putative visual mechanisms and second, the relationship between physiological data and psychophysical ...

How Do I Look? The Impact of Unique and Intermediate Hues on Perceived Attractiveness
Color Research &Application, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hering's unique hues (uHs) are hypothesized to exhibit enhanced perceptual salience due to their role in the opponent‐process theory of color vision, which posits that human color perception is structured around two opposing pairs: red–green and yellow–blue.

Perception of global image contrast involves transparent spatial filtering and the integration and suppression of local contrasts (not RMS contrast) [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 When adjusting the contrast setting on a television set, we experience a perceptual change in the global image contrast. But how is that statistic computed?

Strategy-dependent effects of working-memory limitations on human perceptual decision-making
eLife, 2022 Deliberative decisions based on an accumulation of evidence over time depend on working memory, and working memory has limitations, but how these limitations affect deliberative decision-making is not understood. We used human psychophysics to assess the

Sequence effects in the categorization of tones varying in frequency [PDF]
, 2004 In contrast to exemplar and decision-bound categorization models, the memory and contrast models described here do not assume that long-term representations of stimulus magnitudes are available.
