We used a virtual reality device with an integrated eye-tracking system to create virtual environments that simulated far and near vision conditions and assessed ocular movements. We compared the maximum angular deviation compensated by the visual system or the vergence scores of the participants in the virtual environments with the vergence scores obtained with a prism in real environment, i.e. with the technique usually used for clinical assessments. We also compared a simple virtual environment with a complex virtual environment by creating landscapes. The vergence scores obtained for divergence and convergence with the virtual reality device were very similar to those obtained using prisms. This suggests that the virtual environments efficiently stimulated vision conditions in 3 dimensions. Our results also support the idea that modulating the angular deviation of the projected image in the virtual reality headset is a satisfactory way of inducing ocular vergences. The amplitudes of fusion were better in the virtual conditions, suggesting that the controlled virtual environments provided better conditions for measuring vergence movements. Furthermore, the virtual reality device induced a better amplitude of fusion in participants with high convergence abilities by preventing the underestimation of divergence abilities in these participants. This last result suggests that this type of virtual reality mechanism could be helpful in the future for remediating vergences-related disorders.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23670,"journal":{"name":"Vision Research","volume":"234 ","pages":"Article 108658"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144502321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In contrast, there is little work on auditory discomfort. First, we reviewed the current findings in the field of auditory discomfort and report a preliminary study investigating the effects of uncomfortable sounds on near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) responses from auditory cortex. Nine participants listened to pure 1 kHz tones that were modulated by a 2 Hz or a 16 Hz sinusoidal wave that made the tone sound as though it wobbled. The oxyhaemoglobin response to the uncomfortable 16 Hz sound was larger and slower compared to the relatively more comfortable 2 Hz sound. This suggests cortical excitability to uncomfortable sounds, similar to the heightened response reported in the visual modality. Second, we assessed the relationship between visual and auditory sensitivity in a large sample (N = 669) of participants who completed the Pattern Glare Test (PGT), the Amsterdam Misophonia Scale, the Hyperacusis Questionnaire, and the Functional Hearing Questionnaire (FHQ). While all measures of auditory sensitivity were significantly correlated with the number of illusions seen in the PGT (.1 > <em>r<sub>s</sub></em> < 0.3), the relationship with misophonia was significantly weaker than other comparisons. This highlights that while those who are visually sensitive are more likely to exhibit increased auditory sensitivity, the measures that focus on pain (PGT, hyperacusis, FHQ) may be dissociable from those that rely on emotive discomfort (misophonia). Together, this suggests similar mechanisms underlying auditory and visual discomfort.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23670,"journal":{"name":"Vision Research","volume":"234 ","pages":"Article 108655"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144314568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In turn, CNNs are now widely used as a framework for studying human vision. The organizational similarity between the layers of CNNs and cortical regions along the visual pathway has been shown in studies using human fMRI data, such that early visual areas’ activities are better predicted by the first layers of CNNs while their last layers better predict the response of higher-level visual areas. However, there is a lack of agreement on how well CNN features can predict fMRI responses, particularly in the presence of fMRI noise, which can result in varying brain responses to the repetitions of the same image. Additionally, the utility of these predicted responses to previously unseen images as synthetic fMRI data has not yet been explored. Here we use the BOLD5000 dataset and the AlexNet architecture initialized with the model weights pre-trained on ImageNet to show that features extracted by CNNs can g enerate highly accurate synthetic fMRI responses to images. We demonstrate that synthetic fMRI responses show higher correlations with repetitions of real responses than the real responses themselves, surpassing the quality of real data in the presence of noise. Moreover, we train a decoder with synthetic fMRI data to classify real fMRI data for unseen images and even unseen object categories. Our decoding experiments revealed that the synthetic data outperformed real data, particularly due to the ability to generate larger synthetic datasets. Our findings showcase the high quality of generated synthetic fMRI responses to images based on CNN features, exhibiting both similarities to real data and practical utility in empirical applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23670,"journal":{"name":"Vision Research","volume":"234 ","pages":"Article 108641"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144330411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we report two successful large sample replications of one of Vickery’s experiments. We also explain Vickery’s results with a cortical model of visual grouping and selection. We extended a previous model, so that it performs a feature-based search of an image for a target. We show that induced grouping effects are the result of a connection strategy that links together target pairs in a visual search task combined with a selection strategy that tends to place a selection signal at locations close to the target pair features. These strategies interact because the connection strategy that links target pairs also sometimes links inducing elements, thereby influencing the selection signal location. The model extension plays a key role in explaining this phenomenon and enables the model to simulate other tasks, like visual search, where the observer uses a dynamic and feature-guided selection process.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23670,"journal":{"name":"Vision Research","volume":"234 ","pages":"Article 108651"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144491729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Observers had to report the perceived local motion using a motion vector matching method. The results show that the deviation of the perceived flow from the physical ground truth increased when the probe was presented near the direction changes. The pattern of errors averaged across multiple trials could be described by a Gaussian temporal smoothing of the local motion vectors, with a window size spanning about 120 ms. The results are consistent with previous reports of the sluggish temporal response of visual motion processing revealed by artificial stimuli and different tasks. However, a detailed examination of the response of each trial of our data indicated that the observers did not report a gradual transition from pre-change to post-change vectors but reported either of the two directions in a bimodal fashion with gradually changing response rates over time. This suggests that even though the motion processing may be sluggish, human observers correctly recognize a sudden direction change as a sudden event, not as a gradual transition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23670,"journal":{"name":"Vision Research","volume":"234 ","pages":"Article 108629"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144220951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Children aged 5–10 years categorised backwards-masked scenes presented at very brief durations. We drew inferences about the <em>processing speed</em> with which each age group extracted category-diagnostic information by varying presentation durations, and the <em>quality of information</em> extracted by varying the level they were prompted to make their judgments (superordinate-level indicative of coarse global information, basic-level indicative of more detailed information). Children across all ages demonstrated a remarkably sophisticated ability to extract scene gist, with 5–6-year-old children performing above chance for scenes presented for as little as 32 ms for both superordinate and basic-level judgements.
