Chris Paffen @chrispaffen.bsky.social · 28/04/2026Why are we not visually aware of our own nose, even though it's in our visual field? I argue for a simple mechanism: interocular suppression of info in the nasal visual field (the nose) by more interesting information in the temporal visual field.

Chris Paffen @chrispaffen.bsky.social · 02/07/2025Surely you know about eye dominance. You probably don’t know it’s not a unitary phenomenon: in this paper I show that sensory eye dominance varies over the visual field. In the Discussion I propose an explanation for why this variation might exist. Curious? Read it here: doi.org/10.1167/jov.... 163
Chris Paffen @chrispaffen.bsky.social · 04/06/2025Sensory sensitivity We study how people react to sensory input like lights and sounds. You can help by completing a short online questionnaire. You can also sign up for an optional 3-hour lab session in Utrecht (€12/ hour) involving EEG and hearing tests. Take the survey here: tinyurl.com/457z89ta 021
