Summary: This study examines the neural correlates of consciousness (NCCs) in relation to emotional and neutral faces. The results indicate that conscious processing of neutral faces is associated with early NCCs (VAN), while conscious processing of emotional faces involves both VAN and late NCCs (LP). Furthermore, source localization analysis reveals that LPs of emotional faces are primarily located in the frontal and parietal lobes, whereas LPs of neutral faces show no significant activation.

Summary: The study of inattentional blindness is important for understanding how the mind and brain work, as well as for developing interventions for everyday lapses in attention. The relevance of the information to the observer seems to be a critical factor in explaining why this phenomenon occurs.

Summary: It is widely believed that observers can fail to notice clearly visible unattended objects, even if they are moving. However, the results of three high-powered experiments with a total of 4,493 participants indicate that this effect is strongly influenced by the speed of the unattended object. Only fast objects are readily noticeable, whether attended or not, suggesting that fast motion acts as a potent cue that overrides task-focused attention and diminishes inattentional blindness effects.

Summary: The study indicates that perceptual expertise does not protect against inattentional blindness, even for unexpected stimuli within the domain of expertise.

Summary: The animate monitoring hypothesis (AMH) suggests that humans prioritize attention to living things over non-living things. However, there has been no systematic investigation into whether the type of living thing matters for animate monitoring. This study explores the differences in attention towards mammals, birds, reptiles, insects, and inanimates.

Summary: Previous research has shown that fearful faces can be processed without visual awareness. However, the evidence for nonconscious attention capture by fearful faces is limited. In this study, using a three-phase inattentional blindness paradigm and electroencephalography, it was found that only when participants were aware of the faces and when they were task-relevant, the electrophysiological marker for attention capture was triggered by face stimuli. When participants were unaware of the presence of faces or when the faces were irrelevant to the task, no attention capture was observed.

Summary: This study applies perceptual load theory to analyze internet users' behavior in relation to banner blindness, determining whether it is a case of inattentional blindness or a separate phenomenon. The results showed that perceptual load did not have a significant effect on banner blindness, suggesting that it is more likely caused by attentional filters adjusting to the abundance of information on web pages.

Summary: This study used eye movements and pupil sizes to predict visual awareness of participants without explicit reporting. The results showed that both perceptual decision and perceptual confidence can be separately decoded from eye movement and pupil size, providing a new technique for assessing visual awareness in future neuroimaging experiments.

Summary: The study aimed to test the effects of alcohol and task difficulty on counting performance and the occurrence of inattentional blindness. The results showed that task difficulty increased inattentional blindness, while both alcohol and task difficulty impaired counting accuracy, with the largest impact on participants who noticed the unexpected stimulus.

Summary: In this study, Horikawa and Kamitani investigate the effects of attention on visual image reconstructions from fMRI activity. They show that top-down attention can modulate neural representations to render reconstructions in accordance with subjective appearance.

Summary: Inattentional blindness, the phenomenon of failing to notice objects and events when attention is engaged elsewhere, can have costly consequences for real-world decisions. However, not noticing certain visual information could also indicate expertise. In this study, professional fingerprint analysts were compared to novices on a fingerprint matching task. Results showed that analysts were more likely to miss a large gorilla image covertly placed within the prints. This finding suggests that experts may filter out irrelevant information and focus their attention on what is important.

Summary: Aging is associated with declines in attention, leading to an increase in inattentional blindness. Older adults show greater inattentional blindness, especially towards negative stimuli. However, they are more likely to detect positive stimuli, indicating an age-related positivity effect. These findings highlight the role of emotional and motivational changes in older age, and suggest that higher inattentional blindness for older adults cannot solely be attributed to reductions in attentional capacity.

Summary: Modeling the temporal aspect of visual perception in the periphery is crucial for optimizing and evaluating content generation techniques. This article presents psychophysical experiments measuring human observers' sensitivity to spatio-temporal stimuli across a wide field of view and builds a perceptual model using the collected data. The model enables injecting new content into the periphery without distracting the viewer and optimizes foveated rendering methods to limit the visibility of temporal aliasing.

Summary: People tend to overestimate their ability to detect changes in scenes and are not aware of the relative difficulty of such changes. However, in this study, participants' self-judgements of change detection ability were found to predict their own change blindness. These metacognitive judgements remained consistent even when accounting for low-level image properties and were not fully explained by semantic similarity.

Summary: This study shows that context processing is crucial in the forgetting of individual items, with scene-related activity increasing and item-related information decreasing after a forget instruction. The separation between item information and context information predicts successful forgetting.

Summary: The study suggests that while performance on visual tasks synchronizes to a visual rhythm in the 8-12 Hz range, it does not synchronized to an auditory rhythm of the same frequency. However, adding an auditory rhythm to a visual rhythm may enhance the effects of the visual rhythm on performance. These observations suggest limitations to cross-modal entrainment.
