Generalization of prior information for rapid Bayesian time estimation (2016)
Journal Article
Roach, N. W., McGraw, P. V., Whitaker, D., & Heron, J. (2017). Generalization of prior information for rapid Bayesian time estimation. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 114(2), 412-417. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1610706114

To enable effective interaction with the environment, the brain combines noisy sensory information with expectations based on prior experience. There is ample evidence showing that humans can learn statistical regularities in sensory input and exploi... Read More about Generalization of prior information for rapid Bayesian time estimation.

The consequences of strabismus and the benefits of adult strabismus surgery (2016)
Journal Article
Astle, A. T., Foulsham, T., & McGraw, P. V. (2016). The consequences of strabismus and the benefits of adult strabismus surgery. Optometry in Practice, 17(3),

Strabismus has a negative impact on patients’ lives regardless of their age. Factors such as self-esteem, relationships with others, education and the ability to find employment may all be negatively affected by strabismus. It is possible to correct...

Object size determines the spatial spread of visual time (2016)
Journal Article
Fulcher, C., McGraw, P. V., Roach, N. W., Whitaker, D., & Heron, J. (2016). Object size determines the spatial spread of visual time. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 283(1835), Article 20161024. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2016.1024

A key question for temporal processing research is how the nervous system extracts event duration, despite a notable lack of neural structures dedicated to duration encoding. This is in stark contrast to the orderly arrangement of neurons tasked with... Read More about Object size determines the spatial spread of visual time.

Is the frequency of adult strabismus surgery increasing? (2016)
Journal Article
Astle, A. T., Foulsham, T., Foss, A. J., & McGraw, P. V. (in press). Is the frequency of adult strabismus surgery increasing?. Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics, 36(4), https://doi.org/10.1111/opo.12306

Purpose In recent years there has been an increase in evidence for the functional and psychosocial benefits of correcting strabismus/heterotropia in adults. This study aimed to establish whether there has been an associated change in the frequency o... Read More about Is the frequency of adult strabismus surgery increasing?.

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...
