Filling-in and suppression of visual perception from context: a Bayesian account of perceptual biases by contextual influences. by Li Zhaoping, Li Jingling

“…Meanwhile, high-contrast contextual bars, regardless of whether they group well with the target, bias the observers to perceive no target. A Bayesian model of visual inference is shown to account for the data well, illustrating that the context influences the perception in two ways: (1) biasing observers' prior belief that a target should be present according to visual grouping principles, and (2) biasing observers' internal model of the likely input contrasts caused by a target bar. …”

Cerebral stiffness changes during visual stimulation: Differential physiological mechanisms characterized by opposing mechanical effects by Reihaneh Forouhandehpour, Michaël Bernier, Guillaume Gilbert, Russell Butler, Kevin Whittingstall, Elijah Van Houten

“…We performed functional intrinsic Magnetic Resonance Elastography (fiMRE) as well as Time of Flight angiography and BOLD fMRI on 7 healthy human subjects to monitor shear stiffness and arterial dilation during periods of prolonged visual stimulation. FiMRE activation with increased stiffness was observed to occur almost equally within brain white and gray matter (49.7±14.0% and 40.9±12.2%, respectively), while activation with decreased stiffness was significantly (p=0.018) more likely to occur in white matter than gray matter (50.8±11.4% and 37.0±4.5%, respectively). …”

Assessment of Gross and Fine Motor Skills in Children With Visual Impairment: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis by Ebrahim Ebrahimi, Mohammad Salsali, Rahman Sheikhhoseini, Mohammadreza Ghasemian

“…Conclusions: The results of the meta-analyses showed significant differences in locomotor (gross) and object (fine) control skills between sighted and visually impaired children. A possible explanation for these findings is that children with visual impairments, such as blindness or low vision, are more likely to experience difficulties in motor skills performance, such as locomotor and object control skills. …”
