(MIT Press, 2004)When train drivers pass through warning or stop signals ? as they do many thousands of times per day throughout the world ? this is an example, we argue, of an inefficiency in the functioning of a right hemispheric, ... -
The Virtual Haptic Display: A device for exploring 2-D virtual shapes in the tactile modality
(Psychonomic Society, 2007)In order to understand better the processes involved in the perception of shape through touch, some element of control is required over the nature of the shape presented to the hand and the presentation timing. To that ... -

Virtual Shapers & Movers: Form and Motion affect Sex Perception
(2007)An experiment to determine factors that influence the perceived sex of virtual characters was conducted. Four different model types were used: highly realistic male and female models, an androgynous character, and a point ... -
Visual sensory processing deficits in Schizophrenia and their relationship to disease state
(Springer, 2008)Context: Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) abnormalities have been a fairly consistent finding in patients with schizophrenia, and it has been suggested that electrophysiological markers of early sensory processing may be ... -
Volume of β-bursts, but not their rate, predicts successful response inhibition

When Does Visual Perceptual Grouping Affect Multisensory Integration?

When Falsification Fails
(The Psychological Society of Ireland, 1998)This study investigated the effectiveness of a falsification logic at early and late stages of the hypothesis testing process. The subject's task was to discover the "laws of motion" in a computerized Artificial ... -
When falsification is the only path to truth
(Mahwah, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 2005)Can people consistently attempt to falsify, that is, search for refuting evidence, when testing the truth of hypotheses? Experimental evidence indicates that people tend to search for confirming evidence. We report two ... -
When planning to survive goes wrong: predicting the future and replaying the past in anxiety and PTSD
(2018)We increase our probability of survival and wellbeing by minimizing our exposure to rare, extremely negative events. In this article, we examine the computations used to predict and avoid such events and to update our ...
