Animal empathy reconsidered: a multidimensional profile account
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Empathy is the glue that holds societies together and yet several fundamental questions about empathy persist. What is empathy (the definitional question)? Is it uniquely human and, if not, which nonhuman animals possess empathy (the distribution question)? Which type or quality of empathy is realized in different species (the quality question)

Johann Joseph Oppel (1855) on Geometrical–Optical Illusions: A Translation and Commentary
i-Perception, 2017 The term geometrical–optical illusions was coined by Johann Joseph Oppel (1815–1894) in 1855 in order to distinguish spatial distortions of size and orientation from the broader illusions of the senses.

Optimality and Limitations of Audio-Visual Integration for Cognitive Systems
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2020 Multimodal integration is an important process in perceptual decision-making. In humans, this process has often been shown to be statistically optimal, or near optimal: sensory information is combined in a fashion that minimizes the average error in ...

A Critical Analysis of Microsoft's Rhetoric and Reality of Sustainability Engagement
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study critically examines Microsoft's environmental, social and governance (ESG) rhetoric and operational reality, to offer insights that extend beyond conventional greenwashing or bluewashing. Drawing on over 20 years of Microsoft's sustainability reports (2003–2024), third‐party ESG evaluations and media investigations, it employs ...

From Confusion to Clarity: A Multi‐Stage Process Framework for Understanding Consumer Confusion
Journal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper reconceptualizes consumer confusion as a multi‐stage temporal process rather than a static outcome, addressing theoretical fragmentation in existing antecedent‐consequence models. By integrating cognitive appraisal, contextual amplification, and adaptive coping within a unified framework, we explain how confusion unfolds rather than

Nature CommunicationsBrightness illusions are a powerful tool in studying vision, yet their neural correlates are poorly understood. Based on a human paradigm, we presented illusory drifting gratings to mice. Primary visual cortex (V1) neurons responded to illusory gratings,

Impact of Visual Kinesthetic Illusions on Reciprocal Inhibition and Motor Function
Applied SciencesReciprocal inhibition is often diminished in elderly individuals and those with upper motor neuron disorders. This reduction in reciprocal inhibition can hinder smooth joint movement.

On the role of spatial phase and phase correlation in vision, illusion and cognition
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2015 Numerous findings indicate that spatial phase bears an important cognitive information. Distortion of phase affects topology of edge structures and makes images unrecognizable.
