Bayesian regression explains how human participants handle parameter uncertainty

Michael Herzog, Jean-Pascal Théodor Pfister, Mattew Pachai, Maya Anna Jastrzebowska

Author summary How do humans make prediction when the critical factor that influences the quality of the prediction is hidden? Here, we address this question by conducting a simple psychophysical experiment in which participants had to extrapolate a parabo ...

How best to unify crowding?

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Mattew Pachai

Crowding refers to the detrimental effect of nearby elements on target perception. Recently, Harrison and Bex (Curr Biol, 2015) modeled performance in a novel orientation crowding paradigm where observers reported the orientation of a Landolt C presented a ...
