Recent work from several groups has shown that perception of various visual attributes in
human observers at a given moment is biased toward what was recently seen. This positive …

Adaptation phenomena provide striking examples of perceptual plasticity and offer valuable
insight into the mechanisms of visual coding. Within the context of recent progress in …

Neural activity and perception are both affected by sensory history. The work presented here
explores the relationship between the physiological effects of adaptation and their …

Perceptual decisions about current sensory input are biased toward input of the recent past—
a phenomenon termed serial dependence. Serial dependence may serve to stabilize neural …

The task of deciding how long sensory events seem to last is one that the human nervous
system appears to perform rapidly and, for sub-second intervals, seemingly without …

What humans perceive depends in part on what they have previously experienced [1, 2].
After repeated exposure to one stimulus, adaptation takes place in the form of a negative …

Information about colour is initially extracted by the visual system in terms of the activity
within a small number of receptor types with different spectral sensitivities, and then recoded …

Attentional selection plays a critical role in conscious perception. When attention is diverted,
even salient stimuli fail to reach visual awareness [1, 2]. Attention can be voluntarily directed …
