Pre-exposure to a stimulus can modulate initial perceptual dominance experienced in binocular rivalry with brief test stimuli (onset rivalry). This study investigated this modulating effect using both color and pattern stimuli. We confirmed separa...
The aim of the study was to describe a theory and method for inferring the statistical significance of a visually evoked cortical potential (VEP) recording. The statistical evaluation is predicated on the pre-stimulus VEP as estimates of the corti...

We show that irradiance-coding alone cannot explain the sustained pupillary constrictions evoked by chromatic and luminance variations in a stimulus For example, stimulus modulations that decremented the contrasts in L- and M-cones as well as rods...

We investigated whether cones are the only photosensitive process mediating the photopic pupillary light reflex. New analyses were performed on previously published recordings, focusing on those evoked by the onset of photopically equated short- a...
By adding small patches of different luminances to a uniform field surrounding a target, the effect of the surrounding luminance on target brightness can be enhanced (articulation effect). The present study investigated whether the articulation ef...
