Twelve subjects were asked to perform visual stimulus presentation tasks. Two figures were presented either simultaneously or sequentially. They were either in congruity (same shapes) or in conflict (different shapes) with each other. Conflicting stimulus pairs presented sequentially evoked a negative event-related component with a fronto-central and bilateral posterior scalp distribution, referred to as N270. In contrast, stimuli displayed simultaneously elicited a N220 with fronto-central prominence, irrespective of whether they were in conflict or in congruity. The results suggest that the N270 may be associated with the processing of a conflict with working memory information whereas the N220 might reflect the detection and evaluation of attention to visual information in the human brain.

Predictive updating of an object's spatial coordinates from pre-saccade to post-saccade contributes to stable visual perception. Whether object features are predictively remapped remains contested. We set out to characterise the spatiotemporal dynamics of feature processing during stable fixation and active vision.

Purpose: To present the criterion validity, sensitivity, specificity, and cut-off scores for the Profiles of Early Expressive Phonological Skills Test - Brazilian Portuguese (PEEPS-BP) - Expanded List.
Methods: This was a quantitative cross-sectional psychometric study. The sample consisted of 30 children with no identified neurodevelopmental disorders aged 24 to 36 months.

Objective: To develop a proof-of-concept smart-phone-based eye-tracking algorithm to assess non-pathologic optokinetic (OKN) nystagmus in healthy participants. Current videonystagmography (VNG) is typically restricted to in-office use, and advances in portable vestibular diagnostics would yield immense public health benefits.
Study Design: Prospective cohort study.

This paper is a follow-up to Ellermeier, Kattner, and Raum (2021, Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 83, 2955-2967), and provides a reanalysis of their data on cross-modal commutativity from a Bayesian perspective, and a theory-based analysis grounded on a recently suggested extension of a global psychophysical approach to cross-modal judgments (Heller, 2021, Psychological Review, 128, 509-524). This theory assumes that stimuli are judged against respondent-generated internal references that are modality-specific and potentially role-dependent (i.e.

Alterations in tissue expression levels of both retinol-binding protein 2 (RBP2) and retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) have been associated with metabolic disease, specifically with obesity, glucose intolerance and hepatic steatosis. Our laboratories have shown that this involves novel pathways not previously considered as possible linkages between impaired retinoid metabolism and metabolic disease development. We have established both biochemically and structurally that RBP2 binds with very high affinity to very long-chain unsaturated 2-monoacylglycerols like the canonical endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG) and other endocannabinoid-like substances.
