Three mistakes about the senses

Three widespread assumptions about the human senses are challenged. These are that we have five senses, that they function independently, and, for the purposes of theorising perception, that vision…

GENDER DIFFERENCES IN SHORT TERM MEMORY AND PERCEPTION

It could be concluded that women performed well in verbal episodic memory tasks and men excelled in visuo-spatial processing.

Study of Consciousness

This work attempts to study changes in intracranial pressure (ICP) for a 12-hour period and discusses whether the resulting estimates could be used as a measure of consciousness.

Octopus Consciousness: The Role of Perceptual Richness

This review suggests that cephalopods may not have a similar type of intelligence as the ‘higher’ vertebrates, they may have similar dimensions or contents of consciousness, but that such a capacity is present nevertheless.

VISUAL PERCEPTUAL CONFLICTS AND ILLUSIONS
