Self as a prior: The malleability of Bayesian multisensory integration to social salience (2023)
Journal Article
Scheller, M., Fang, H., & Sui, J. (2023). Self as a prior: The malleability of Bayesian multisensory integration to social salience. British Journal of Psychology, https://doi.org/10.1111/bjop.12683

Our everyday perceptual experiences are grounded in the integration of information within and across our senses. Due to this direct behavioural relevance, cross-modal integration retains a certain degree of contextual flexibility, even to social rele...

(Not so) powerful allies? Decision makers’ reactions to advantaged group allies in collective action (2023)
Journal Article

Do allies in collective action have a positive impact on political efficacy? Theoretical considerations and common sense might lead us to expect that advantaged group allies will be beneficial to the success of social movements. However, across five...

Studying how sensory signals from different sources (sensory cues) are integrated within or across multiple senses allows us to better understand the perceptual computations that lie at the foundation of adaptive behaviour. As such, determining the p... Read More about Correctly establishing evidence for cue combination via gains in sensory precision: Why the choice of comparator matters.

A presaccadic perceptual impairment at the postsaccadic location of the blindspot (2023)
