Given the advent of non-conventional white light sources devoid of specific short-wavelength radiation (such as the “cyan-gap”), and recent electrophysiological evidence suggesting greater neural complexity of phototransduction ...

In reverberant spaces, human listeners localize sounds to the direction of their sources, despite room reflections that present spurious directional cues. This ability is often called localization dominance, which is part ...

The impact of task environments on cognitive strategies are well known and have formed the basis of many important findings in cognitive science. However, these effects are often overlooked in research design. The n-back, ...
