Perception of relative depth interval : Systematic biases in perceived depth
(2012) - Journal articleGiven an estimate of the binocular disparity between a pair of points and an estimate of the viewing distance, or knowledge of eye position, it should be possible to obtain an estimate of their depth separation. Here we ... -
What visual information is used for stereoscopic depth displacement discrimination?
(2010) - Journal articleThere are two ways to detect a displacement in stereoscopic depth, namely by monitoring the change in disparity over time (CDOT) or by monitoring the inter-ocular velocity difference (IOVD). Though previous studies have ... -
Evidence for weak or linear conformity but not for hyper-conformity in an everyday social learning context
(2012-02-20) - Journal articleConformity is thought to be an important force in cultural evolution because it has the potential to stabilize cooperation in large groups, potentiate group selection and thus explain uniquely human behaviors. However, the ... -
Sparse coding
(2008) - Journal articleMammalian brains consist of billions of neurons, each capable of independent electrical activity. Information in the brain is represented by the pattern of activation of this large neural population, forming a neural code. ... -
Bayesian binning beats approximate alternatives: estimating peri-stimulus time histograms
(MIT Press, 2008) - Journal articleThe peristimulus time histogram (PSTH) and its more continuous cousin, the spike density function (SDF) are staples in the analytic toolkit of neurophysiologists. The former is usually obtained by binning spike trains, ...
