Papers
The Appeal of the Brain in the Popular Press.
TL;DR: It is suggested that part of the allure of brain-related data are the deceptively simply messages they afford, as well as general, but sometimes misguided, confidence in biological data.
The Influence of Prestimulus 1/f-Like versus Alpha-Band Activity on Subjective Awareness of Auditory and Visual Stimuli
TL;DR: The results suggest that the difference in alpha power often reported before visual hits versus misses is probably best thought of as a combination of narrowband alpha and broadband shifts, and changes in broadband parameters also appear to be strong predictors of the subsequent awareness of visual stimuli.
Pinpointing the peripheral bias in neural scene-processing networks during natural viewing.
TL;DR: Functional MRI results show a fine-scale relationship between eccentricity biases and functional correlation during natural perception, giving new insight into the structure of the scene-perception network.

Affordances Provide a Fundamental Categorization Principle for Visual Scenes
TL;DR: Using a large-scale experiment using hundreds of scene categories, it is shown that the activities afforded by a visual scene provide a fundamental categorization principle, and Affordance-based similarity explained the majority of the structure in human scene categorization patterns, outperforming alternative similarities based on objects or visual features.
