This paper on the visibility of saccade-like motion has been long in the making and is finally out. In a tour de force this paper shows that the perceptual thresholds for high-speed motion perception during fixation can be predicted based on the lawful kinematics of saccadic eye movements. Check out the paper just published in Nature Communications https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-58659-9 and the press release https://www.scienceofintelligence.de/too-fast-to-see-eye-movements-predict-speed-limits-in-perception/.
Ben, Martin and Sven have a new preprint on causal capture. In their study, they pitted visual adaptation against contextual influences on causal perception and found that contextual influences escaped the strong influence of visual adaptation. Congratulations to Ben for submitting his first manuscript. For more information, see https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.04.10.648104v1.
Sven and Martin published their paper on the directional tuning of the perception of causality at eLife. For more details see https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.93454.3
I am so incredibly happy that this preprint on sensorimotor awareness with Jan Klanke as first author is available on biorxiv. Jan has created a wonderful new paradigm to measure microsaccade sensitivity. There are so many exciting methodological finesses in the study that together highlight the role of intention in sensorimotor awareness. See more here https://doi.org/10.1101/2024.07.02.601661
