A new ‘CFS tracking’ paradigm reveals uniform suppression depth regardless of target complexity or salience
eLife assessment This valuable study introduces an innovative method for measuring interocular suppression depth, which implicates mechanisms underlying subconscious visual processing. The evidence is solid in suggesting that the new method yields provocative uniform suppression depth results across image categories that differ from conventional bCFS threshold.
A new 'CFS tracking' paradigm reveals uniform suppression depth regardless of target complexity or salience
Abstract When the eyes view separate and incompatible images, the brain suppresses one image and promotes the other into visual awareness. Periods of interocular suppression can be prolonged during continuous flash suppression (CFS) - when one eye views a static target while the other views a complex dynamic stimulus.
tCFS: A new 'CFS tracking' paradigm reveals uniform suppression depth regardless of target complexity or salience
New Results doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.04.17.537110 Abstract When the eyes view separate and incompatible images, the brain suppresses one image and promotes the other into visual awareness. Periods of interocular suppression can be prolonged during continuous flash suppression (CFS) - when one eye views a static 'target' while the other views a complex dynamic stimulus.
Turning Heads: The Vanderbilt Brain Institute has emerged as a hub of discovery as neuroscience’s influence expands
Science Photo Library The ancient Egyptians were the first to mention the brain in writing—preserved on a 2,700-year-old papyrus that details the symptoms of head injuries—but the importance of the organ escaped them. They believed it was the heart, not the head, that controlled human thought and emotion. Today our knowledge of the brain has far eclipsed what our forebears knew only a few generations ago, never mind 27 centuries.
Spatial suppression promotes rapid figure-ground segmentation of moving objects
Abstract Segregation of objects from their backgrounds is a fundamental visual function and one that is particularly effective when objects are in motion. Theoretically, suppressive center-surround mechanisms are well suited for accomplishing motion segregation. This longstanding hypothesis, however, has received limited empirical support.
Robert Fox, early leader in Vanderbilt’s vision research, dies
by Ann Marie Deer Owens Jan. 8, 2019, 4:16 PM Robert Fox, professor of psychology, emeritus (Steve Green/Vanderbilt University) Robert Fox, an emeritus Vanderbilt professor who was renowned internationally for his landmark studies of human and animal vision, died Dec. 12. He was 86 years old. Fox, professor of psychology, emeritus, died at Vanderbilt University Medical Center after a short illness. A memorial service is being planned for early spring.
Audio-visual interactions uniquely contribute to resolution of visual conflict in people possessing absolute pitch
Individuals possessing absolute pitch (AP) are able to identify a given musical tone or to reproduce it without reference to another tone. The present study sought to learn whether this exceptional auditory ability impacts visual perception under stimulus conditions that provoke visual competition in the form of binocular rivalry.

Green open access in computer science - an exploratory study on author-based self-archiving awareness, practice, and inhibitors
While there is a never-ending debate regarding what constitutes science and the progression of scientific advancement [1–3], it is difficult to argue against the claim that science relies on the availability of knowledge. Knowledge is constructed by individuals during activities that are sometimes in cooperation, sometimes in competition, but always in the context of communities [4].
Biological Motion Perception, Brain Responses, and Schizotypal Personality Disorder
Importance Exploration of the ability to process socially relevant events portrayed by biological motion and to identify underlying neuronal processes can provide clues for understanding the pathophysiology of psychosis. Individuals with schizotypal personality disorder (SPD) have pervasive interpersonal deficits and odd behaviors.
