More evidence for sensorimotor adaptation in color perception.
TLDR
It is shown that sensorim motor adaptation can be obtained for color, as a consequence of the introduction of a new sensorimotor contingency between eye movements and color changes.Abstract:
Sensorimotor adaptation can be defined as a perceptual adaptation whose effects depend on the occurrence and nature of the performed motor actions. Examples of sensorimotor adaptation can be found in the literature on prisms concerning several space-related attributes like orientation, curvature, and size. In this article, we show that sensorimotor adaptation can be obtained for color, as a consequence of the introduction of a new sensorimotor contingency between eye movements and color changes. In an adaptation phase, trials involved the successive presentation of two patches, first on the left, and then on the right or the opposite. The left patch being always red and the right patch green, a correlation is introduced between left–right (respectively right–left) eye saccades and red–green (respectively green–red) color change. After 40 min of adaptation, when two yellow patches are successively presented on each side of the screen, the chromaticity of the left and right patches need respectively to be shifted toward the chromaticity of the red and green adaptation patches for subjective equality to be obtained. When the eyes are kept fixed during the adaptation stage, creating a strong nonhomogeneity in retinal adaptation, no effect is found. This ensures that, if present, adaptation at a given retinal location cannot explain the present effect. A third experiment shows a dependency of the effect on the eyes' saccadic movements and not on the position on the screen, that is, on the position of the eyes in the orbits. These results argue for the involvement of sensorimotor mechanisms in color perception. The relation of these experimental findings toward a sensorimotor theory of color perception is discussed.read more

Conscious perception of illusory colour
TL;DR: It is found that afterimages are enhanced by contextual edges more so than real stimuli of similar appearance, and afterimage duration was reduced by saccadic eye-movements relative to fixation, pursuit, and blinking, suggesting that afterimage signals are inherently ambiguous and thus are highly influenced by cues that increase or decrease the likelihood that they represent a real object.

TL;DR: Although the mechanism of associative learning may not be unique to actions, such learning plays a role in the allocation of attention to task-irrelevant events.

Feature Integration as Prediction Coding: Evidence from a Prime-Probe Paradigm
TL;DR: It is shown that partial repetition costs are absent from the prime-probe paradigm with the effects being purely attentional, and the thesis that thepartial repetition costs currently viewed as support for feature binding approaches to perception are better explained via prediction coding is tested.

Current foveal inspection and previous peripheral preview influence subsequent eye movement decisions
TL;DR: Strasburger et al. as discussed by the authors found that the inspected target's meaningfulness and the opportunity to preview it peripherally affects fixation durations and the upcoming saccadic selection.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose that the brain produces an internal representation of the world, and the activation of this internal representation is assumed to give rise to the experience of seeing, but it leaves unexplained how the existence of such a detailed internal representation might produce visual consciousness.
