Paper published on familiarity facilitating perceptual performance by increasing visual processing speed
Most things in life we have seen before. Familiarity with a stimulus leads to an attenuated neural response to the stimulus. Alongside this attenuation, recent studies have also observed a truncation of stimulus-evoked activity for familiar visual input. One proposed...
Paper published on neural mechanisms for implicit context learning
Humans are remarkably good at knowing where to expect relevant stuff, given a particular context. For example, we intuitively know that we should expect a computer mouse next to the keyboard, and below the monitor. It has been claimed that we can learn these patterns...
