Perception research, explained
4 open-access perception studies, each with a flashcard deck and a quiz.
- Is a blind mind's eye also a deaf mind's ear?
People who lack visual mental imagery are highly likely to also lack auditory mental imagery, a state termed anauralia.
- How is aphantasia measured, and is it always the same?
People who think they have aphantasia might actually have face recognition issues, and those with true aphantasia have diverse sensory deficits.
- How do we tell our own voice apart from others?
We recognize our own voice better than others' voices when low-frequency pitch and speech details are removed, leaving only the highest vocal frequencies.
- How Hunger Changes What We See
Being hungry makes us look at food pictures longer when our eyes are presented with competing images, but it does not help those food pictures break into our awareness faster when they are hidden.
