Summary: The study found that the improvement in perceptual discrimination of each feature is proportional to the mutual information between the feature and the category variable, providing a rational basis for categorical perception.

Summary: Multisensory integration and recalibration are two processes in perception that deal with discrepant signals. In the spatial ventriloquism paradigm, both processes are studied. The study found that recalibration depends on the history of multisensory discrepancies, while the ventriloquism bias does not, suggesting that these two processes can be experimentally dissociated.

Summary: This study investigated the color sensitivity of the duration aftereffect in the sub-second and supra-second ranges separately. The results showed that the duration aftereffect in the sub-second range only partly transferred across different visual colors, while the duration aftereffect in the supra-second range completely transferred. These findings suggest distinct mechanisms underlying the adaptation aftereffects of sub-second and supra-second durations.

Summary: The study found that younger adults performed better than older adults in categorical perception tasks involving famous and non-famous faces. Additionally, face inversion disrupted categorical perception in younger adults, while older adults performed similarly across both conditions, indicating that the representation of faces in older adults is more part-based.

Summary: This study establishes a mapping between emotion terms, food images, and the valence-arousal space, linking the dimensional and categorical approaches. The results show reliable mappings between terms and images, with assigned valence and arousal values typically being less extreme through indirect mapping.

Summary: Prolonged exposure to isochronous rhythm can distort rhythm perception, while the mechanism behind anisochronous rhythm remains unclear. Adaptation to decelerating rhythm may lead to perceiving subsequent isochronous rhythm as accelerating, but simultaneous exposure to visual and auditory stimuli does not produce adaptation effects.

Summary: This research demonstrates that the tilt aftereffect (TAE) not only occurs at the location of the adapter, but also spreads to other locations in the visual field. Through experiments, the researchers found TAE magnitudes in all tested locations and built a computational model to explain the neural mechanisms underlying this spread.

Summary: The study found that brain structure is related to individual performance in categorical speech perception, where increased surface area in the right middle frontal gyrus is associated with more categorical perception, and more gyrification in bilateral transverse temporal gyri is related to less consistent responses on the task.

Summary: This paper presents a modular pipeline for pose and shape estimation of objects from RGB-D images. The method incorporates a generative shape model, an initialization network, and a differentiable renderer to enable accurate estimation of 6D pose and shape from single or multiple views. The use of discretized signed distance fields as a shape representation is investigated and proved to be efficient.

Summary: This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of olfactory perception in the human brain. The findings suggest that different aspects of olfactory perception, such as unpleasantness, pleasantness and perceptual quality, emerge at different time points after odor onset. The initial coding of odor information occurs in the olfactory areas, while the realization of perception involves computations in widely distributed cortical regions. This research provides insights into the neural processes underlying olfactory perception.

Summary: The brain categorizes continuous acoustic events into discrete representations to simplify speech perception. Previous research suggests that these categorizations and perceptual changes occur in the auditory cortex. However, this study shows that these phenomena exist even earlier in the auditory brainstem.

Summary: Decoding emotions on others' faces is crucial for the human brain, and this study reveals that the categorization of facial expression changes occurs as early as 160 ms after stimulus onset in the occipito-temporal cortex. Additionally, happy expressions are categorized faster than fearful expressions by approximately 20 ms.

Summary: By comparing category- and item-level learning, it was found that we tend to learn categories rather than individual items in our environment. A novel paradigm was used to directly compare these two levels of learning, and the results showed that learning was more effective at the category level, while there was no such effect at the item level.

Summary: The study found that inflammatory markers were associated with depressive symptoms and emotion processing in adolescents, with elevated IL-6 being common in depressed adolescents and potentially serving as a specific target for modulating depressive symptoms and emotion processing.

Summary: Shape-contrast effects in face perception have been explored, and it has been found that the complexity of face stimuli influences the strength of these effects. This study used emoticons and realistic human faces as stimuli, and found that the shape-contrast effect was influenced by the type of stimulus, but not by the orientation of the face. The findings suggest that the mechanism of the shape-contrast effect involves multiple stages of the visual system related to luminance and complexity, rather than holistic face perception.

Summary: The study aimed to differentiate between progressive and relapsing multiple sclerosis using a small wearable multisensor device and captured changes in limb function. The device showed promising results in distinguishing between the two types of MS and monitoring limb dysfunction over a short period of time.

Summary: This review examines the available data on treating multiple sclerosis (MS) before, during, and after pregnancy, focusing on disease-modifying therapies (DMTs). Injectable DMTs are recommended during pregnancy, while monoclonal antibodies like rituximab or natalizumab before pregnancy may also be safe options. Breastfeeding is associated with reduced risk of postpartum relapses, and further research on DMT safety during pregnancy is needed.

Summary: The prevalence of peripartum depression in women with multiple sclerosis appears to be similar to the general population, with factors such as older age, primiparity, pre-pregnancy depression, sleep disturbance, and breastfeeding difficulty associated with higher risk. Prospective studies are needed to further explore the impact of peripartum depression on self-management in multiple sclerosis and offspring development.

Summary: The study aims to describe the features of acute central nervous system inflammation following COVID-19 vaccination. The findings showed that 38 patients developed acute CNS inflammation within 60 days after receiving the vaccine, with the most common diagnoses being multiple sclerosis and post-vaccine transverse myelitis. Some patients received treatment and continued to receive COVID-19 vaccination, with the majority experiencing no new or worsening neurological symptoms.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the associations between sexual dysfunction (SD) and quantitative MRI measures in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). The results showed no correlations between brain and spinal cord MRI measures and the severity of SD in pwMS. However, anxiety, depression, and fatigue were found to be independently associated with SD.
