Kun Qian, Hiroyuki Mitsudo, Spatial dynamics of the eggs illusion Visual field anisotropy and peripheral vision, Vision Research, 10.1016/j.visres.2020.08.008, 177, 12-19, 2020.12, The eggs illusion is a visual phenomenon in which bright circular patches located at the midpoints between the intersections of a dark grid are perceived as being elongated along the direction orthogonal to the grid line. In the four experiments we report here, we explored the spatial properties of the eggs illusion by manipulating retinal eccentricity and the location of the stimulus in the visual field. In Experiment 1, we examined whether central and peripheral configurations affected the illusory magnitude. In Experiment 2, we varied the spatial location of grid patterns and found that the eggs illusion was intensified when the pattern was presented in the horizontal, not vertical or diagonal position, relative to the fixation. In Experiment 3, we varied the retinal eccentricity of the pattern along the horizontal meridian and found that the illusion was enhanced in the retinal periphery. In Experiment 4, we manipulated the size of the stimulus and found that peripheral enhancement of the eggs illusion was more apparent for a larger pattern. The visual field anisotropy and the peripheral enhancement of the eggs illusion are discussed in relation to mechanisms underlying grid-induced illusions..

Yuki Harada, Hiroyuki Mitsudo, Junji Ohyama, The effect of unusualness on the functional field of view in unsafe scenes^, Visual Cognition*, 10.1080/13506285.2020.1718817, 2020.01, Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of unusualness of visually presented unsafe items on the functional field of view. In each experiment, after presenting a word indicating a certain context, we presented a picture including a safe or unsafe daily-life item. Participants were asked to identify a target digit that was briefly presented at the periphery immediately after the picture disappeared. Unusualness was manipulated by varying the incongruency between the item and the word, irrespective of the unsafety of the item. The affective habituation was controlled by using between-participants (Experiment 1) and within-block designs (Experiment 2) for the unsafety manipulation. Target identification accuracy was impaired by the incongruency when the items were unsafe, but this impairment was removed by the affective habituation. These results suggest that unusualness and unsafety have a role in the shrinkage of the functional field of view..

Hiroyuki Mitsudo, Naruhito Hironaga, Katsuya Ogata, Shozo Tobimatsu, Vertical size disparity induces enhanced neural responses in good stereo observers, Vision Research, 10.1016/j.visres.2019.08.009, 164, 24-33, 2019.11, Stereoscopic three-dimensional vision requires cortical processing for horizontal binocular disparity between the two eyes’ retinal images. Behavioral and theoretical studies suggest that vertical size disparity is used to recover the viewing geometry and to generate the slant of a large surface. However, unlike horizontal disparity, the relation between stereopsis and neural responses to vertical disparity remains controversial. To determine the role of cortical processing for vertical size disparity in stereopsis, we measured neuromagnetic responses to disparities in people with good and poor stereopsis, using magnetoencephalography (MEG). Healthy adult participants viewed stereograms with a horizontal or vertical size disparity, and judged the perceived slant of the pattern. We assessed neural activity in response to disparities in the visual cortex and the phase locking of oscillatory responses including the alpha frequency range using MEG. For participants with good stereopsis, activity in the visual areas was significantly higher in response to vertical size disparity than to horizontal size disparity. The time–frequency analysis revealed that early neural responses to vertical size disparity were more phase-locked in good stereo participants than in poor stereo participants. These results provide neuromagnetic evidence that vertical-size disparity processing plays a role in good stereo vision..

Tomomi Uchiyama, Hiroyuki Mitsudo, No Benefit of Eye-Closure Rehearsal in a Unimodal Recognition Memory Test for Word Items, Japanese Psychological Research, 10.1111/jpr.12248, 2019.01, Recent studies have suggested that closing the eyes helps memory retrieval in recall tests for audiovisual clips that contain multimodal information. In two experiments, we examined whether eye-closure improves recognition memory performance for word lists presented unimodally (i.e., visually or aurally). In the encoding phase, participants saw or heard a list of unrelated, meaningful word items. After a fixed retention interval of 1 week (Experiment 1, n = 110) and 5 min (Experiment 2, n = 44), the participants were asked to mentally rehearse the items with their eyes open or closed, and then they performed a recognition test. The results revealed no effect of eye-closure rehearsal on recognition performance. We discuss the possible reasons why no eye-closure benefit was found in recognition memory tests for unrelated word items..

Slant contrast has been proposed to involve cue conflict, but it is unclear whether this idea is useful in explaining slant contrast at short stimulus presentations (
