Typically when people talk about afterimages, they're negative afterimages. What are some good examples of positive afterimages?

I'm new to this group, so thought I'd write and introduce myself - my name's Stephanie Gray, I live in the UK and I'm planning a research project which I feel may be of interest to this community ( Read more... )

Hi all,

I'm hoping to do some background research on anticipation but I don't know where to start. Does anyone know of any good articles or books in any field (psych, neurobio, whatever) that might be helpful?

Hi all, may I ask whether the standard definition (if one exists) of post-stimulus means:

Here's my question, sorry if it has been asked before:

Does anyone have any psychology/psychiatry/neuroscience or related podcasts to recommend?

Free ones, preferably.

Thanks! :)

I'm currently planning on applying to grad schools for a PhD in Cognitive Science this coming fall and I've ran into a barrier of sorts: while I'm trying to narrow down the list of schools I will apply to, it seems a lot of the web sites that list information about grad schools and programs don't have accurate listings for "Cognitive Science" (eg ( Read more... )

The city library here in Umeå is apparently first in the world with this nifty gaget which hopefully will make library visits easier for the visually impaired, and with potential uses in other areas as well. Yay for cognitive aids with the use of technology :)

World premiere for AudioIndex - a revolutionary aid for the visually impaired.
