Pupil responses are commonly used to provide insight into visual perception, autonomic control, cognition, and various brain disorders. However, making inferences from pupil data can be complicated by nonlinearities in pupil dynamics and variability within and across individuals, which challenge the assumptions of linearity or group-level homogeneity required for common analysis methods. In this study, we evaluated luminance evoked pupil dynamics in young healthy adults (n = 10, M:F = 5:5, ages 19-25 years) by identifying nonlinearities, variability, and conserved relationships across individuals to improve the ability to make inferences from pupil data.

- Humans use smooth pursuit and saccades to track moving targets, with catch-up saccades correcting tracking errors.
- The study examined how retinal acceleration error impacts saccade latency and amplitude during target pursuit.
- Findings indicate that retinal acceleration error significantly predicts saccade parameters, suggesting it helps in estimating future target positions along with position and velocity errors.
Article Synopsis
- * A study involving 13 male cynomolgus macaques assessed how diet changes and social interactions impacted GM composition over a 15-month period, using controlled variables to reduce confounding factors.
- * The findings revealed that diet changes significantly affected GM diversity, while social interactions only caused specific shifts in certain bacterial families, indicating that dietary influences are stronger than social ones in altering GM composition.
Whole-report working memory tasks provide a measure of recall for all stimuli in a trial and afford single-trial analyses that are not possible with single-report delayed estimation tasks. However, most whole-report studies assume that trial stimuli are encoded and reported independently, and they do not consider the relationships between stimuli presented and reported within the same trial. Here, we present the results of two independently conducted whole-report experiments.
