Optic Neuritis: From Magnocellular to Cognitive Residual Dysfunction by Anne-Claire Viret, Céline Cavézian, Olivier Coubard, Vivien Vasseur, Noa Raz, Netta Levin, Catherine Vignal, Olivier Gout, Sylvie Chokron

“…To better characterize visual abnormalities, 8 patients recovering from a first ON episode as well as 16 healthy controls performed a simple detection task and a more complex categorization task of images presented in low spatial frequencies (to target the magnocellular system) or in high spatial frequencies (to target the parvocellular system) or of non-filtered images. …”

X-Ray/Radio Quasiperiodic Pulsations Associated with Plasmoids in Solar Flare Current Sheets by Pankaj Kumar, Judith T. Karpen, Joel T. Dahlin

“…Plasmoids (or magnetic islands) are believed to play an important role in the onset of fast magnetic reconnection and particle acceleration during solar flares and eruptions. Direct imaging of flare current sheets and the formation/ejection of multiple plasmoids in extreme-ultraviolet images, along with simultaneous X-ray and radio observations, offers significant insights into the mechanisms driving particle acceleration in solar flares. …”

Making Faces by Helen Chittock, Andrew Jones

“…We will hone in particularly on the imagery of Neolithic Britain and Ireland and the imagery of the European Iron Age, drawing on examples from existing research to establish new questions, and focusing especially on the affective potentials of faces and other bodily elements in later prehistoric imagery. We argue that images should always be viewed as being ‘in the making’ and we consider how Neolithic and Iron Age images became representational, emphasizing their emergent and ambiguous characteristics. …”

I’ve just seen a face: further search for face pareidolia in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) by Masaki Tomonaga

“…This study investigated the role of topdown control in face detection in chimpanzees.MethodsAfter being trained on an oddity task in which they had to select a noise pattern where a face (either human or chimpanzee) or a letter (Kanji characters) was superimposed among three patterns, they were tested with noise patterns that did not contain any target stimuli.ResultsWhen the average images of the patterns selected by the chimpanzees in these test trials were analyzed and compared with those that were not selected (i.e., difference images), a clear non-random structure was found in the difference images. …”
