New paper by Yichen!
Yichen's paper "Using hearing and vision for motion prediction, motion perception, and localization" is accepted for publication in Journal of Experimental Psychology: General.
Here, we show that we combine auditory and visual input to localize static objects, but rely on a single modality when tracking moving objects, or predicting the location of occluded objects.

Here, we show that probable visual objects gain preferential access to consciousness over improbable objects; you don't perceive what you don't expect.
