NEW PAPER 👁️🚨 w/ @sylvainbaillet.bsky.social
If you keep your eyes very still, the visual world oddly appears to "fill-in", or blend across boundaries. Filling-in over stronger boundaries requires even longer staring. Is this because involuntary microsaccades more effectively delay filling-in? (1/3)

Sensorimotor control meets visual consciousness.
Our new Journal of Vision paper led by @maxlevinson.bsky.social shows that microsaccades reset visual processing & delay perceptual illusions (here, filling-in). www.neurospeed-bailletlab.org/news/zl2erl3... 🧵

How Tiny Eye Movements Reveal the Fragility of Visual Perception — Baillet Lab [ neuroSPEED ]
Our latest study, led by grad student Max Levinson and published in the Journal of Vision , explores why our conscious perception often does not match the physical world accessible to our senses. Usi...

1/ "A science of consciousness beyond pseudo-science and pseudo-consciousness" is out now! it was a joy to coauthor this commentary with Àlex Gómez-Marin @behaviOrganisms for @NatureNeuro, in which we try find some positive lessons in the clash over IIT www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Delighted to report the publication of our new paper with @biyuhe.bsky.social in @plosbiology.org. In the study, we find that oscillatory and non-oscillatory neural signals likely influence conscious visual perception independently.

Spontaneous slow cortical potentials and brain oscillations independently influence conscious visual perception
Conscious perception is influenced by brain oscillations and slow cortical potentials within the brain, but it is not clear if they influence perception via shared mechanisms. This study shows that os...

I made this tool that I think is pretty useful if you are running online experiments and using the OSF. It's free. And open source. And you can use other free tools with it to run an online experiment for free.
