Assessing people with visual impairments’ access to information, awareness and satisfaction with high-tech assistive technology (2022)
Journal Article
Liang, I., Spencer, B., Scheller, M., Proulx, M. J., & Petrini, K. (2024). Assessing people with visual impairments’ access to information, awareness and satisfaction with high-tech assistive technology. British Journal of Visual Impairment, 42(1), 149-163. https://doi.org/10.1177/02646196221131746

Assistive technology (AT) devices are designed to help people with visual impairments (PVIs) perform activities that would otherwise be difficult or impossible. Devices specifically designed to assist PVIs by attempting to restore sight or substitute...

Social relevance modulates multisensory integration (2022)
Journal Article
Scheller, M., & Sui, J. (2022). Social relevance modulates multisensory integration. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 48(9), 1022-1038. https://doi.org/10.1037/xhp0001013

When interacting with the environment, humans exhibit robust biases towards information that pertains to themselves: Self-relevant information is processed faster and yields more accurate responses than information linked to others. Recent studies ha... Read More about Social relevance modulates multisensory integration.

The Power of the Self: Anchoring Information Processing Across Contexts (2022)
Journal Article
Scheller, M., & Sui, J. (2022). The Power of the Self: Anchoring Information Processing Across Contexts. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 48(9), 1001-1021. https://doi.org/10.1037/xhp0001017

A stable self-representation has an intrinsically beneficial connotation for information processing: it allows the individual to flexibly adapt to different contexts, while prioritizing information that pertains to the own immediate survival. Indeed,... Read More about The Power of the Self: Anchoring Information Processing Across Contexts.

Feeling Colours: Crossmodal Correspondences Between Tangible 3D Objects, Colours and Emotions (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lin, A., Scheller, M., Feng, F., Proulx, M. J., & Metatla, O. (2021, May). Feeling Colours: Crossmodal Correspondences Between Tangible 3D Objects, Colours and Emotions. Presented at Proceedings of the 2021 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, Yokohama, Japan

With increasing interest in multisensory experiences in HCI there is a need to consider the potential impact of crossmodal correspondences (CCs) between sensory modalities on perception and interpretation. We investigated CCs between active haptic ex... Read More about Feeling Colours: Crossmodal Correspondences Between Tangible 3D Objects, Colours and Emotions.

The Role of Vision in the Emergence of Mate Preferences (2021)
Journal Article
Scheller, M., Matorres, F., Little, A. C., Tompkins, L., & de Sousa, A. A. (2021). The Role of Vision in the Emergence of Mate Preferences. Archives of Sexual Behavior, 50(8), 3785–3797. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10508-020-01901-w

Cross-cultural research has repeatedly demonstrated sex differences in the importance of partner characteristics when choosing a mate. Men typically report higher preferences for younger, more physically attractive women, while women typically place... Read More about The Role of Vision in the Emergence of Mate Preferences.

Late‐ but not early‐onset blindness impairs the development of audio‐haptic multisensory integration (2020)
Journal Article
Scheller, M., Proulx, M. J., de Haan, M., Dahlmann‐Noor, A., & Petrini, K. (2021). Late‐ but not early‐onset blindness impairs the development of audio‐haptic multisensory integration. Developmental Science, 24(1), Article e13001. https://doi.org/10.1111/desc.13001

Integrating different senses to reduce sensory uncertainty and increase perceptual precision can have an important compensatory function for individuals with visual impairment and blindness. However, how visual impairment and blindness impact the dev... Read More about Late‐ but not early‐onset blindness impairs the development of audio‐haptic multisensory integration.
