COVID‐19 has modified numerous aspects of children's social environments. Many children
are now spoken to through a mask. There is little empirical evidence attesting to the effects …

Research about vection (illusory self-motion) has investigated a wide range of sensory cues
and employed various methods and equipment, including use of virtual reality (VR) …

Many objects that we encounter have typical material qualities: spoons are hard, pillows are
soft, and Jell-O dessert is wobbly. Over a lifetime of experiences, strong associations …

Due to the COVID‐19 pandemic, many children receive language input through face

Motion direction and luminance contrast are two central features in the representation of
visual motion in humans. In five psychophysical experiments, we showed that these two …

Object shape is an important cue to material identity and for the estimation of material
properties. Shape features can affect material perception at different levels: at a microscale …

Studies on colored transparent objects have elucidated potential mechanisms, but these
studies have mainly focused on flat filters overlaying flat backgrounds. While they have …

Specular reflections and refractive distortions are complex image properties of solid
transparent objects, but despite this complexity, we readily perceive the 3D shapes of these …

This research assesses optical measurement methods used to characterise the transmission
haze in correlation with its visual perception. Seven silica-filled amorphous polymer test …

Studies on the perceived color of transparent objects have elucidated potential mechanisms
but have mainly focused on flat filters that overlay a flat background. However, studies with …
