Perception of local properties of the visual field is influenced by aftereffects of adaptation. The tilt aftereffect describes repulsion of the perceived orientation of a line from the orientation of an adapting line. Analogous effects of spatial context are often called illusions. Repulsion of the perceived orientation of a grating from the orientation of a surrounding grating is referred to as the tilt illusion. In the same manner, the size aftereffect and Ebbinghaus illusion form a complementary pair of temporal and spatial context effects of size. Here we report psychophysical evidence for a previously unknown aspect-ratio illusion which causes the perceived aspect-ratio of a rectangle to be repelled from the aspect-ratio of rectangles surrounding it. This illusion provides a spatial analogue to the aspect-ratio aftereffect.

Background: Social cognition is crucial to optimal social functioning outcomes in older adults, with implications for overall health and wellbeing. Moreover, poor social cognition is a diagnostic criterion for neurocognitive disorders (NCDs). Prior work has studied the social cognitive subdomains (theory of mind (ToM), affective empathy, emotion recognition, and social behaviour) and found mild cognitive impairment and dementia to be associated with poorer performance in specific tasks and informant-reported changes respectively.

Repulsing Cl to reduce its negative effects during seawater electrolysis is a promising strategy to guard against the corrosion of high-valence metal sites. Herein, we synthesized FeP/NiP by a facile Br-induced partial phase transition strategy. This FeP/NiP possessed intensified built-in electric field (BEF) due to large work function difference (Δ), demonstrating outstanding OER and HER activity in alkaline freshwater/seawater solution and exhibiting a low cell voltage for an anion exchange membrane water electrolyzer (AEMWE) system.

A facing-towards bias is commonly reported when observers are asked to judge the motion directions of others. However, it remains unclear just how accurately observers are able to estimate the motion direction of others and whether the gender of the observer and the walker affects the direction estimation. Here, we asked male and female participants to estimate the direction of a point-light walker (PLW) in three experiments.
