Each target was illuminated with flickering light at different frequencies superimposed upon a steady background. The evoked cortical re...
Vision multiplexing is an optical engineering approach that superimposes augmented information over an observer’s natural field of view1,2,3. It is mainly used to enable visual confusion, where the images of two different objects are presented to the same retinal location4,5,6. This allows us...

Theory predicts that the plastic expression of sex-traits should be modulated not only by their production costs but also by the benefits derived from the presence of rivals and mates, yet there is a paucity of evidence for an adaptive response of sex-tr
When the two eyes’ processing streams meet in visual cortex, two things can happen: sufficiently similar monocular inputs are combined into a fused representation, whereas markedly different inputs engage in rivalry. Interestingly, the emergence of riva
