In visual search, improved performance when a target appears at a recently cued location is taken as strong evidence that attention was shifted to this cue. Here, we provide evidence challenging the canonical interpretation of spatial-cueing (or cue-validity) effects and supporting the Priority Accumulation Framework…

Extensive research has shown that objects that are salient or match our task goals are most likely to capture attention. But are we at the mercy of the constant changes occurring in our environment, and automatically move our attention to the ever-changing location with the highest priority? Or do we wait for clues…

'Michael J. Proulx'] In a paradigm combining spatial Stroop with spatial cueing, the current study investigated the role of the presence vs. absence of placeholders on the reduction of the spatial Stroop effect by peripheral cueing. At a short cue-target interval, the modulation of peripheral cueing over the spatial…

'Thomas Nyffeler' 'Patric Wyss' 'Urs P. Mosimann' 'René M. Müri' 'Tobias Nef' 'Dario Cazzoli' 'Xiaoang Wan'] Cross-modal spatial cueing can affect performance in a visual search task. For example, search performance improves if a visual target and an auditory cue originate from the same spatial location, and it…

Spatial probabilistic “Posner” cueing is widely employed in studies of endogenous spatial attention. Such cueing guides attention by providing prior knowledge about the likely spatial location of task-relevant events. Yet, it has been compellingly argued that such spatial priors also elicit expectation effects…

Background In predictive spatial cueing studies, reaction times (RT) are shorter for targets appearing at cued locations (valid trials) than at other locations (invalid trials). An increase in the amplitude of early P1 and/or N1 event-related potential (ERP) components is also present for items appearing at cued…

Spatial audio has been explored in eXtended Reality (XR) systems as a means to guide user attention and convey spatial information beyond the limited Field-of-View (FoV) of wearable displays. For Head-Mounted Displays (HMD) and smart glasses, where both the physical FoV and the user's on-screen visual resources (e.g.…

Visual search is a core component of mixed reality (MR) interactions, influenced by the complexities of MR application contexts. In this paper, we investigate how prevalent factors in MR influence visual search performance and spatial regularity memory — including the physical environment complexity, secondary task…

The effect of spatial cueing on eye gaze has been confirmed by a large number of studies, but the effect of spatial cueing on face direction and the impact of eye gaze on this effect are less known. In four experiments, we investigated the attentional bias induced by face direction. A modified paradigm of spatial…

The role of spatial attention in iconic memory – an early interface between visual perception and short-term memory – remains poorly understood. Across two experiments run in 2025, we investigated how endogenous spatial attention modulates iconic memory using a partial-report paradigm. In both exper-iments, pre-cues…

Visuospatial attention is not a monolithic process and can be divided into different functional systems. In this framework, exogenous attention reflects the involuntary orienting of attention resources following a salient event, whereas endogenous attention corresponds to voluntary orienting based on the goals and…

Repeated visual context induces higher search efficiency, revealing a contextual cueing effect, which depends on the association between the target and its visual context. In this study, participants performed a visual search task where search items were presented with depth information defined by binocular disparity.…

Spatial selective attention enables listeners to process a signal of interest in natural settings. However, most past studies on auditory spatial attention used impoverished spatial cues: presenting competing sounds to different ears, using only interaural differences in time (ITDs) and/or intensity (IIDs), or using…

Selective attention to a spatial location has shown enhanced perception and facilitate behavior for events at attended locations. However, selection relies not only on where but also when an event occurs. Recently, interest has turned to how intrinsic neural oscillations in the brain entrain to rhythms in our…

Temporal expectation is the ability to construct predictions regarding the timing of events, based on previously-experienced temporal regularities of different types. For example, cue-based expectations are constructed when a cue validly indicates when a target is expected to occur. However, in the absence of such…

Humans possess a remarkable capacity for spatial cognition, allowing for selflocalization even in novel or unfamiliar environments. While hippocampal neurons encoding position and orientation are well documented, the large-scale neural dynamics supporting spatial representation—particularly during naturalistic, passive…

Human listeners need to permanently interact with their threedimensional (3-D) environment. To this end, they require efficient perceptual mechanisms to form a sufficiently accurate 3-D auditory space. In this chapter, we discuss the formation of the 3-D auditory space from various perspectives. The aim is to show the…

Animals build an internal Bayesian maximum likelihood model of the local 3-D space around them. This 3-D model is essential for controlling all physical movements. There has been large and sustained selection pressure to make it the most precise model possible, given the animal's sense data. A tracking computation has…

This paper proposes that the thalamus is the site of a wave excitation, whose function is to represent the locations of things around the animal. Neurons couple to the wave as transmitters and receivers. The wave acts as an analogue representation of local space. This has benefits over a purely neural representation of…

All-inorganic halide perovskites, especially CsPbBr3 microcrystals, are often considered to be optically stable and less defect-prone compared to their organometallic counterparts. Nevertheless, reports of photoluminescence (PL) blinking in bulk perovskite systems till date are restricted to organometallic halide…

Genetically encoded covalent warheads at the protein-protein interface, enable the locking of interaction from the transient complex into a stable covalent adduct, which could improve the binding affinity, selectivity, and kinetics between a protein binder and its target. Given the diverse chemical microenvironments…

The theory behind origin of life to Darwinian evolution considers emergence of dissipative structures driven by the flow of energy across all length scales. To this end, developing and deeper understanding of non-equilibrium self-assembly processes under continuous supply of energy is a demanding matter, both in…

Recreating the signaling profile a chemical synapse to analyze serotonin receptor activation is a challenge. This is due in part to the kinetics of the synapse, where neurotransmitters are rapidly released and quickly cleared by active reuptake machinery. One strategy to produce a rapid rise in a bio-orthogonally…

Activatable small-molecule probes (ASMPs) enable dynamic biomarker visualization, yet nonspecific sequestration in hydrophobic protein microdomains compromises imaging fidelity. To address this, herein, a size-defined tetrahedral DNA framework (TDF) directs the interior encapsulation of an ASMP to fabricate a DNA…
