Phase-dependent interactions in visual cortex to combinations of first- and second-order stimuli (2016)
Journal Article
Hutchinson, C. V., Ledgeway, T., & Baker, C. L. (in press). Phase-dependent interactions in visual cortex to combinations of first- and second-order stimuli. Journal of Neuroscience, 36(49), https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1350-16.2016

A fundamental task of the visual system is to extract figure-ground boundaries between objects, which are often defined not only by differences in luminance but also by "second order" contrast or texture differences. Responses of cortical neurons to... Read More about Phase-dependent interactions in visual cortex to combinations of first- and second-order stimuli.

Why is the processing of global motion impaired in adults with developmental dyslexia? (2016)
Journal Article
Johnston, R., Pitchford, N. J., Roach, N. W., & Ledgeway, T. (2016). Why is the processing of global motion impaired in adults with developmental dyslexia?. Brain and Cognition, 108, 20-31. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bandc.2016.07.004

Individuals with dyslexia are purported to have a selective dorsal stream impairment that manifests as a deficit in perceiving visual global motion relative to global form. However, the underlying nature of the visual deficit in readers with dyslexia... Read More about Why is the processing of global motion impaired in adults with developmental dyslexia?.

Do perceptual biases emerge early or late in visual processing? Decision-biases in motion perception (2016)
Journal Article
Zamboni, E., Ledgeway, T., McGraw, P. V., & Schluppeck, D. (2016). Do perceptual biases emerge early or late in visual processing? Decision-biases in motion perception. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 283(1833), Article 20160263. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2016.0263

Visual perception is strongly influenced by contextual information. A good example is reference repulsion, where subjective reports about the direction of motion of a stimulus are significantly biased by the presence of an explicit reference. These p...
