Suzuki, Yuta; Minami, Tetsuto; Laeng, Bruno; Nakauchi, Shigeki (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)We hypothesized that pupil constrictions to the glare illusion, where converging luminance gradients subjectively enhance the perception of brightness, would be stronger for ‘blue’ than for other colors. Such an expectation ...

Participants viewed ...

Liu, Hang; Laeng, Bruno; Czajkowski, Nikolai (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Stereopsis is a powerful depth cue for humans, which may also contribute to object recognition. In particular, we surmise that face identification would benefit from the availability of stereoscopic depth cues, since facial ...

Using a novel approach, we tested the effect of general cognitive abilities and level ...

Zavagno, Damiele; Tommasi, Luca; Laeng, Bruno (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Pupil diameters were recorded with an eye-tracker while participants observed cruciform patterns of gray-scale gradients that evoked illusions of enhanced brightness (glare) or of enhanced darkness.
