Learning to silence saccadic suppression (2021)
Journal Article
Scholes, C., McGraw, P. V., & Roach, N. W. (2021). Learning to silence saccadic suppression. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 118(6), Article e2012937118. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2012937118

Perceptual stability is facilitated by a decrease in visual sensitivity during rapid eye movements, called saccadic suppression. While a large body of evidence demonstrates that saccadic programming is plastic, little is known about whether the perce... Read More about Learning to silence saccadic suppression.

The interrelationship between the face and vocal tract configuration during audiovisual speech (2020)
Journal Article
Scholes, C., Skipper, J. I., & Johnston, A. (2020). The interrelationship between the face and vocal tract configuration during audiovisual speech. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 117(51), 32791-32798. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2006192117

It is well established that speech perception is improved when we are able to see the speaker talking along with hearing their voice, especially when the speech is noisy. While we have a good understanding of where speech integration occurs in the br... Read More about The interrelationship between the face and vocal tract configuration during audiovisual speech.

Estimation of contrast sensitivity from fixational eye movements (2018)
Journal Article
Denniss, J., Scholes, C., McGraw, P. V., Nam, S.-H., & Roach, N. W. (2018). Estimation of contrast sensitivity from fixational eye movements. Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, 59(13), 5408-5416. https://doi.org/10.1167/iovs.18-24674

Purpose: Even during steady fixation, people make small eye movements such as microsaccades, whose rate is altered by presentation of salient stimuli. Our goal was to develop a practical method for objectively and robustly estimating contrast sensiti... Read More about Estimation of contrast sensitivity from fixational eye movements.

Selective modulation of visual sensitivity during fixation (2018)
Journal Article
Scholes, C. D., McGraw, P. V., & Roach, N. W. (in press). Selective modulation of visual sensitivity during fixation. Journal of Neurophysiology, 119(6), https://doi.org/10.1152/jn.00819.2017

During periods of steady fixation, we make small amplitude ocular movements, termed microsaccades, at a rate of 1-2 every second. Early studies provided evidence that visual sensitivity is reduced during microsaccades - akin to the well-established s... Read More about Selective modulation of visual sensitivity during fixation.
