DOI: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2022.108268
Abstract: Perceptual sensitivity for dyspnea (i.e. breathlessness) is often quantified using the slope of magnitude estimations plotted against the physical stimulus intensities of respiratory loads. This study investigated whether this slope and its stability varies as… read more here.

Abstract: This paper examines the perceptual threshold in patterns of tonal timing (alignment) of Falling versus Low tones. The results indicate a remarkable sensitivity among the listeners. In a perception experiment with 30 participants, we tested… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/13623613211068932
Abstract: Autism is diagnosed based on social and communication difficulties, restricted and repetitive behaviours and sensory anomalies. Existing evidence indicates that anxiety and atypical sensory features are associated with restricted and repetitive behaviours, but cannot clarify… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pbio.3001750
Abstract: Perceptual decisions depend on the ability to exploit available sensory information in order to select the most adaptive option from a set of alternatives. Such decisions depend on the perceptual sensitivity of the organism, which… read more here.

DOI: 10.7554/elife.66743
Abstract: A functional benefit of attention is to proactively enhance perceptual sensitivity in space and time. Although attentional orienting has traditionally been associated with cortico-thalamic networks, recent evidence has shown that individuals with cerebellar degeneration (CD)… read more here.
