Inducing visual attention through audiovisual stimuli: Can synchronous sound be a salient event?
We present an experimental research aiming to explore how spatial attention may be biased through auditory stimuli. In particular, we investigate how synchronous sound and image may affect attention and increase the saliency of the audiovisual event. We have designed and implemented an experimental study where subjects, wearing an eye-tracking system, were examined regarding their gaze toward the audiovisual stimuli being displayed. The audiovisual stimuli were specifically tailored for this experiment, consisting of videos contrasting in terms of Synch Points (i.e., moments where a visual event is associated with a visibl...

Humans can sense large numbers of objects in a box by touch alone
This study investigated how well people can judge large quantities of objects in a container through haptic perception. Stimuli consisted of plastic drinking straws cut to "small" (1.5 cm) or "big" (4.5 cm) pieces contained in plastic food containers. Participants performed both a magnitude estimation of the number of objects and a direct estimation of the proportion of the container perceived to be filled with objects. Overall, participants demonstrated considerable accuracy for both tasks and irrespective of the size of the content. Post-experiment interviews revealed three potential strategies. Participants either focus...

The illusory perception of distinctiveness in familiar faces
Perception. 2023 Oct 19:3010066231206722. doi: 10.1177/03010066231206722. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAn illusion of distinctiveness for faces is described that manifests as a positive association between perceived familiarity and perceived distinctiveness. This association seems partly rooted in intrinsic facial characteristics but is boosted by actual exposure to faces. Such illusion could impede research on familiar faces where distinctiveness is manipulated or controlled and researchers will need to find ways around it.PMID:37854017 | DOI:10.1177/03010066231206722 (Source: Perception)

Learning emotional dialects: A British population study of cross-cultural communication
Perception. 2023 Oct 5:3010066231204180. doi: 10.1177/03010066231204180. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe aim of the current research was to explore whether we can improve the recognition of cross-cultural freely-expressed emotional faces in British participants. We tested several methods for improving the recognition of freely-expressed emotional faces, such as different methods for presenting other-culture expressions of emotion from individuals from Chile, New Zealand and Singapore in two experimental stages. In the first experimental stage, in phase one, participants were asked to identify the emotion of cross-cultura...
