Strong perceptual consequences of low-level visual predictions: A new illusion (2022)
Journal Article
Jovanovic, L., Trichanh, M., Martin, B., & Giersch, A. (2023). Strong perceptual consequences of low-level visual predictions: A new illusion. Cognition, 230, Article 105279. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cognition.2022.105279

Predicting information is considered to be an efficient strategy to minimise processing costs by exploiting regularities in the environment, and to allow for adaptation in case of irregularities, i.e. prediction errors. How such errors impact conscio... Read More about Strong perceptual consequences of low-level visual predictions: A new illusion.

Hand posture, but not vision of the hand, affects tactile spatial resolution in the grating orientation discrimination task (2022)
Journal Article
