TL;DR: The available experimental evidence linking ongoing EEG phase to perceptual and attentional variability, and the corresponding methodology, is reviewed, and future tests of this relation are proposed.

TL;DR: Investigating the trial-by-trial influence of oscillatory phase, a dynamic marker of ongoing activity, on saccadic reaction time in three paradigms of increasing cognitive demand concludes that periodic fluctuations of electrical activity attributable to neuronal oscillations can modulate the efficiency of the oculomotor system on a rapid timescale.

TL;DR: It is exceedingly unlikely that human observers make use of power spectral differences between animal- and no-animal images during rapid animal detection, and the results point to potential confounds in the commercially available "natural image" databases whose statistics may be less natural than commonly presumed.

TL;DR: The first collection of binocular pupil drift measurements recorded from 39 subjects is presented, demonstrating two methods to partially compensate the pupil-based shift using separate calibrations in pupil-constricted and pupil-dilated conditions, and an improved method of compensation based on individual look-up-tables, achieving up to 74% of compensation.

TL;DR: The results indicate that oscillatory effects are not mere fringe effects relevant only with simple stimuli, but are resultant from the core mechanisms of visual processing and may well extend into real-life scenarios.
