Synesthetes claim sensory experiences, such as seeing color when reading or hearing a (black) number. But how genuine are these reports and sensations? We introduce a rather direct measure of synesthetic perception: Synesthetes’ pupils respond to evoked color as if it was real color

New today in @Nature: your visual cortex contains touch-based body maps.

Your brain transforms what you see into first-person, body-referenced codes: A previously unknown bridge between vision and touch.

A good reason to make it to the early

@anavili.bsky.social
will talk about how attending to fuzzy bright/dark patches that have faded from awareness (through adaptation-like processes) still affect pupil size! ⚫👀⚪ Paper:

Namely: maybe these inducers also affect arousal and through that route behavior. Joshua Snell and
@anavili.bsky.social
rigorously tested this and found that the technique is solid: red and blue inducers affect pupil size, but do not appear to affect behavior by modulating arousal. 🧵2/3

Blue light strongly constricts the pupil—thanks to ipRGCs—but can we use it to manipulate pupil size without messing with behaviour? In a simple 2x2 (background color x task difficulty), we (w/ Joshua, Luise
@vuamsterdam.bsky.social
) show that background color affects pupil size, but not behaviour!

Through experience, humans can learn to suppress locations that frequently contain distracting stimuli. Using SSVEPs and ERPs, this study shows that such learned suppression modulates early neural responses, indicating it occurs during initial visual processing.

Good news for
#pupillometry
people! Ana Vilotijević is now on Bluesky:
@anavili.bsky.social
You might know her from work with
@sebastiaanmathot.bsky.social
that targetted intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells, e.g.

Non-image-forming vision as measured through ipRGC-mediated pupil constriction is not modulated by covert visual attention
Abstract. In brightness, the pupil constricts, while in darkness, the pupil dilates; this is known as the pupillary light response (PLR). The PLR is driven
