Serial Dependence in Human Visual Perception and Decision-Making

Gizay Ceylan

Decisions about a current visual stimulus are systematically biased by recently encountered stimuli, a phenomenon known as serial dependence. In human vision, for instance, we tend to report the features of current images as more similar â i.e., an attra ...

The full-body illusion changes visual depth perception

Bruno Herbelin, Olaf Blanke, Sophie Jacqueline Andrée Betka

Knowing where objects are relative to us implies knowing where we are relative to the external world. Here, we investigated whether space perception can be influenced by an experimentally induced change in perceived self-location. To dissociate real and ap ...

Serial dependence in visual perception: A review

Ayberk Ozkirli, Gizay Ceylan, David Pascucci

How does the visual system represent continuity in the constantly changing visual input? A recent proposal is that vision is serially dependent: Stimuli seen a moment ago influence what we perceive in the present. In line with this, recent frameworks sugge ...
