Dr. Baykan and colleagues report in Psychophysiology that blocking short and long intervals, instead of interleaving them, sharpens time estimates and produces faster, stronger CNV buildup plus a …

Dr. Nan Yan, Dr. Lingyue Chen, Dr. Shao-Yang Tsai and Ms. Yun Wai Foo celebrated their graduation at GSN Graduation Day, and all four have already secured jobs, postdoctoral or doctoral positions.

Hosted by Prof. Daniel Oberfeld-Twistel at Mainz University on June 12, Dr. Z. Shi explained how context and Bayesian priors bias time judgments, with CNV, LPCt and hippocampal findings from EEG and …

Dr. Fredrik Allenmark taught PsychoPy and Prof. Dr. Zhuanghua Shi covered AI tools for behavioral research at Çanakkale Teknopark, where COMU, Teknopark and LMU agreed to establish a Behavioral …

Siyi Chen’s visual search study in Psychonomic Bulletin & Review shows that learned context-target associations speed search strongly but break down when reversed, whereas context …

EEG recordings by Artyom Zinchenko and Xuelian Zang show that repeated distractor layouts speed search only for one dominant target, marked by early N1pc and N2pc, while a second target evokes a later …

At Oldenburg University, hosted by Prof. Hans Colonius, Dr. Zhuanghua Shi presented EEG and fMRI evidence that same-dimension distractors slow search and dampen the N2pc, while cross-dimension color …

Hue discrimination is most accurate and least biased along the color axis matching natural daylight; a Bayesian observer model with a prior favoring blue tones explains the pattern, published in …

Presenting short and long intervals in separate blocks, rather than mixed, yields more accurate time estimates and a faster, stronger CNV buildup, as an EEG study led by Dr. Cemre Baykan shows.

Prof. John Wearden came to Munich to revisit Vierordt’s Law, weighing internal-clock and contextual accounts of why we overestimate short intervals and underestimate long ones, and argued that …

Karaaslan and Shi report in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology that images arriving earlier than expected feel briefer, rare images feel longer, and negative images outlast neutral ones, …

Karaaslan and Shi found that emotional images arriving earlier than expected felt shorter, rarer ones felt longer, and negative images seemed to last longer than neutral ones, with expectancy and …

Yannan Su passed her PhD defense on 21 March 2024 with a thesis on contextual biases in color and orientation perception, two studies from which are already published.

Dr. Siyi Chen of LMU CAS gathered speakers from Lancaster, Oxford, Nijmegen, Peking, Columbia and Amsterdam for a two-day workshop, 18-19 March 2024, debating how our minds anticipate and react to the …

Shao-Yang Tsai passed his PhD defense on 11th March 2024 with a thesis on the neural correlates of distractor handling in cross-modal search, capping years of dedicated research.

Lingyue Chen defended her Ph.D. thesis on 6th March 2024, From Action to Time, examining how attention and sensorimotor integration shape time perception.

Experimentally raised state anxiety left dual-target search performance unchanged: high task demand and working memory load appear to redirect anxiety and keep attention goal-directed rather than …

An fMRI study in Cerebral Cortex shows that prior durations bias current time judgments only after active reproduction, not passive viewing, with hippocampal activity shielding encoded durations from …

Zhuanghua Shi took the TEDxTUM stage at Simple Complexity on Nov. 4th to show how hidden time cues quietly steer everyday choices and how we can learn to spot and master them.

Training vision while the eyes move lets perceptual learning spread beyond the trained spot to untrained parts of the visual field, LMU Newsroom reports on the PNAS study by Grzeczkowski, Shi, Rolfs …

Lukasz Grzeczkowski shows in PNAS that perceptual learning transfers to a new location when the eyes saccade there, though not to a new feature, told through the Chinese myth of archer Feng Meng.

Yannan Su et al. showed that an orientation reference presented after an ensemble stimulus still repels reproduced orientations, especially in a dual task, and an encoding-decoding model with …

Stanković and colleagues found no overall effect of emotion-color association on task performance, but each participant’s own valence preference for red or green shaped how a task-irrelevant …

Zhuanghua Shi gave talks at Zhejiang University, Hangzhou Normal University and Beijing Sport University, and the long-delayed Sino-German symposium on multisensory processing finally ran in Beijing …
