Adaptation to implied tilt: extensive spatial extrapolation of orientation gradients (2013)
Journal Article
Roach, N. W., & Webb, B. S. (2013). Adaptation to implied tilt: extensive spatial extrapolation of orientation gradients. Frontiers in Psychology, 4(July), Article 10. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2013.00438

To extract the global structure of an image, the visual system must integrate local orientation estimates across space. Progress is being made toward understanding this integration process, but very little is known about whether the presence of struc...

Perceptual learning reconfigures the effects of visual adaptation (2012)
Journal Article
McGovern, D. P., Roach, N. W., & Webb, B. S. (2012). Perceptual learning reconfigures the effects of visual adaptation. Journal of Neuroscience, 32(39), https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1363-12.2012

Our sensory experiences over a range of different timescales shape our perception of the environment. Two particularly striking short-term forms of plasticity with manifestly different time courses and perceptual consequences are those caused by visu...

Visual motion induces a forward prediction of spatial pattern (2011)
Journal Article
Roach, N. W., McGraw, P. V., & Johnston, A. (2011). Visual motion induces a forward prediction of spatial pattern. Current Biology, 21(9), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2011.03.031

Cortical motion analysis continuously encodes image velocity but might also be used to predict future patterns of sensory input along the motion path. We asked whether this predictive aspect of motion is exploited by the human visual system. Targets... Read More about Visual motion induces a forward prediction of spatial pattern.

Asynchrony adaptation reveals neural population code for audio-visual timing (2011)
Journal Article
Roach, N. W., Heron, J., Whitaker, D., & McGraw, P. V. (2011). Asynchrony adaptation reveals neural population code for audio-visual timing. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 278(1710), https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2010.1737

The relative timing of auditory and visual stimuli is a critical cue for determining whether sensory signals relate to a common source and for making inferences about causality. However, the way in which the brain represents temporal relationships re... Read More about Asynchrony adaptation reveals neural population code for audio-visual timing.
