Impact of conflicts between long- and short-term priors on the weighted prior integration in visual perception.

The prior distribution of values for a specific feature can be categorized as long- or short-term priors based on their respective learning durations. Studies have demonstrated that the visual system can integrate both priors through weighted averaging and then utilize the integrated prior to efficiently encode stimuli. It is unclear what determines the two priors' relative weights.

Systematic evaluation and meta-analysis of the effects of major dietary patterns on cognitive function in healthy adults.

Purpose: Evidence shows diet promotes brain health. Combining foods and nutrients may have beneficial synergistic effects, but the effects on cognitive function interventions are inconsistent. So, a meta-analysis of RCTs was conducted to examine the specific effects on cognitive function.

Conflicts between short- and long-term experiences affect visual perception through modulating sensory or motor response systems: Evidence from Bayesian inference models.

The independent effects of short- and long-term experiences on visual perception have been discussed for decades. However, no study has investigated whether and how these experiences simultaneously affect our visual perception. To address this question, we asked participants to estimate their self-motion directions (i.

Attention influences the effects of the previous form orientation on the current motion direction estimation.

Recent studies have found that the estimates of motion directions are biased toward the previous form orientations, showing serial dependence, and the serial dependence does not involve cognitive abilities. In the current study, we conducted two experiments to investigate whether and how attention-a cognitive ability-affected the serial dependence. The results showed that serial dependence was present in the current study, reproducing the previous findings.

Serial dependence bias can predict the overall estimation error in visual perception.

Although visual feature estimations are accurate and precise, overall estimation errors (i.e., the difference between estimates and actual values) tend to show systematic patterns.

Serial dependencies between form orientation and motion direction are asymmetric.

Much work has been done to uncover the mechanisms underlying form and motion information integration. However, no study examined the symmetry of the integration of form and motion across the temporal domain (i.e.

Heading perception from optic flow occurs at both perceptual representation and working memory stages with EEG evidence.

Psychophysical studies have demonstrated that heading perception from optic flow occurs in perceptual and post-perceptual stages. The post-perception stage is a complex concept, containing working memory. The current study examined whether working memory was involved in heading perception from optic flow by asking participants to conduct a heading perception task and recording their scalp EEG.

Attractive effects of previous form information on heading estimation from optic flow occur at perceptual stage.

When moving in the environment, optic flow and form (e.g., motion streaks) information generally appear simultaneously.
