PLAsticiTY of Perceptual space Under Sensorimotor interactions (PLATYPUS)

Start date: Jul 1, 2017, End date: Jun 30, 2021,

Space is the foundational characteristic of visual perception and we generally perceive it as continuous and uniform. Behavioural measurements and the properties of our sensory systems however, demonstrate that this is an illusory situation and our percept is constructed by the brain. One example is our lack of awareness of the blind spot that exists in each eye. Space is non-uniformly represented ...
