New preprint: A systematic review and meta-analysis of motion sensitivity in schizophrenia. González-Del Pozo, de la Malla, Linares We found a robust deficit, but few studies assess lapses. More studies need catch trials to isolate perceptual deficits from inattention. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Happy to share our new paper in eLife @elife.bsky.social doi.org/10.7554/eLif... with my PhD student Kontessa Zorpala. We demonstrate that the rotational component of retinal flow—traditionally viewed as a nuisance—plays a functional role in heading estimation.

Happy to share our preprint "Magnitude estimation reveals Poisson-like noise underlying perception".

Happy to share my first PhD preprint! We show that magnitude estimation measures the perceptual noise distribution (it's Poisson-like!), resolving the sources of Weber's law & the pedestal effect. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Thanks to @linaresdani.bsky.social @jlmoliner.bsky.social !

Happy to share our paper @royalsociety open science. The first model for a predictive outfielder: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

The predictive outfielder: a critical test across gravities | Royal Society Open Science

Intercepting moving targets is a widespread challenge across many species. In humans, heuristics that use optic variables have excelled in guiding interception, relying on a closed-loop system to couple optic variables directly with direction of ...

Detectan que las personas con esquizofrenia tienen alterada su capacidad de percibir visualmente el contraste

La esquizofrenia es un trastorno mental grave que afecta a cerca del 1 % de la población mundial. Investigadores de la UB han identificado un déficit en la percepción

Our meta-analysis (Cristina de la Malla & Aster Joostens) on the contrast sensitivity deficit in schizophrenia is out. After extending our initial search, we now include a total sample of 46 studies, showing a clearer relationship between the deficit and medication academic.oup.com/schizophreni...

Considering reviewers' feedback, we found the association is mainly driven by the two studies in the lower left corner, which were conducted on first-episode patients. No much evidence in chronic patients. We updated the manuscript osf.io/preprints/ps...

Our meta-analysis (Cristina de la Malla & Aster Joostens) of 36 studies suggests that the contrast sensitivity deficit in schizophrenia is due to medication (osf.io/preprints/ps...)
