DOI: 10.1002/hbm.26338
Abstract: Humans possess an intuitive understanding of the environment's physical properties and dynamics, which allows them to predict the outcomes of physical scenarios and successfully interact with the physical world. This predictive ability is thought to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00417-017-3752-4
Abstract: BackgroundIt is known that diabetic patients have changes in cortical morphometry as compared to controls, but it remains to be clarified whether the visual cortex is a disease target, even when diabetes complications such as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cognition.2021.104586
Abstract: Studies involving congenitally blind adults shows that visual experience is not a mandatory prerequisite for the emergence of efficient numerical abilities. It remains however unknown whether blind adults developed lifelong strategies to compensate for the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cortex.2018.03.027
Abstract: The ability to estimate numerosity in a visual array arose early in evolution, develops early in human development, and is correlated with mathematical ability. Previous work with visually presented arrays indicates that the intraparietal sulcus… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2020.05.071
Abstract: Summary Complex natural sounds, such as bird singing, people talking, or traffic noise, induce decodable fMRI activation patterns in early visual cortex of sighted blindfolded participants [1]. That is, early visual cortex receives non-visual and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.07.011
Abstract: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of early visual cortex can suppresses visual perception at early stages of processing. The suppression can be measured both with objective forced-choice tasks and with subjective ratings of visual awareness, but… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2018.04.012
Abstract: &NA; Eye movements induce visual motion that can complicate the stable perception of the world. The visual system compensates for such self‐induced visual motion by integrating visual input with efference copies of eye movement commands.… read more here.
