[3] We used thermal imaging to illustrate this problem: When you show bright stimuli for long durations (i.e., seconds), the OLED's pixels heat up locally. This warming then causes *subsequent* stimuli to be shown brighter at these locations. A small and slow, but devious form of image persistence!

Everyday visual experience tunes neural processing. Using fixation-related EEG, this new work shows how the N1 preview benefit depends on Chinese readers' prior experience with left-to-right vs. up-down reading. @umaurer.bsky.social www.authorea.com/doi/full/10....

Happy to be a collaborator on this new work by first-author Xin Huang from Urs Maurer's lab. In two combined eye-tracking/EEG experiments, we asked whether rapidly processed magnocellular (M-pathway) information in parafoveal vision plays a special role for word recognition in natural reading. (1/2)
The figure shows exemplary stimuli in experiments 1 and 2, that were biased for M- vs. P-pathway processing by spatial filtering (exp 1) or by isoluminance (exp 2).
