Adaptation and the Perception of Radiological Images
(2014)Radiologists must classify and interpret medical images on the basis of visual inspection. We examined how an observer's visual sensitivity and perception might change as they view and thus adapt to the characteristic ... -

Adaptation to Interocular Differences in Blur
(2012)Adaptation to a blurred image causes a physically focused image to appear too sharp, and shifts the point of subjective focus toward the adapting blur, consistent with a renormalization of perceived focus. We examined ... -

Age-Related Changes in Sensorimotor Temporal Binding
(2017)The causal relationship between a voluntary movement and a sensory event is crucial for experiencing agency. Sensory events must occur within a certain delay from a voluntary movement to be perceived as self-generated. ... -

Collaborative Modeling to Assess Drought Resiliency of Snow-Fed River Dependent Communities in the Western United States: A Case Study in the Truckee-Carson River System
(2017)Assessing the drought resilience of snow-fed river dependent communities in the arid Western United States has taken on critical importance in response to changing climatic conditions. The process of assessing drought ... -

Color perception in anomalous trichromats: Neuroimaging investigations of neural compensation for losses in spectral sensitivity
(2017)Anomalous trichromats have reduced sensitivity to the L-M dimension of color space due to the reduced separation between the spectral sensitivities of their L and M cones. Despite this, previous work suggests that these ... -

Environmental selection during the last ice age on the mother-to-infant transmission of vitamin D and fatty acids through breast milk
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2018)Because of the ubiquitous adaptability of our material culture, some human populations have occupied extreme environments that intensified selection on existing genomic variation. By 32,000 years ago, people were living ... -

Evolution of an Adaptive Trait: Phenotypic, Physiological, and Genetic Patterns of TTX Resistance in the Sierra Garter Snake Thamnophis couchii
(2020)Understanding the molecular evolution of adaptive traits is central to advancing evolutionary biology. Thus, describing the genetic architecture of such traits is necessary to understand how adaptations arise, spread, and ... -

Foraging, Feeding, Energetics, and Environment: Interactions Between Physiology and Ecology of Gila Monsters
(2009)The ecology of Gila monsters (Heloderma suspectum) is largely related to the endurance of unpredictable resource availability, and to the tolerance of predictably harsh environmental conditions. Gila monsters use a novel ... -

Selectivity of Face Aftereffects for Expressions and Anti-Expressions
(2012)Adapting to a facial expression can alter the perceived expression of subsequently viewed faces. However, it remains unclear whether this adaptation affects each expression independently or transfers from one expression ... -

Selectivity of Face Distortion Aftereffects for Differences in Expression or Gender
(2012)The perceived configuration of a face can be strongly biased by prior adaptation to a face with a distorted configuration. These aftereffects have been found to be weaker when the adapt and test faces differ along a number ... -

The Science of Firescapes: Achieving Fire-Resilient Communities
(2016)Wildland fire management has reached a crossroads. Current perspectives are not capable of answering interdisciplinary adaptation and mitigation challenges posed by increases in wildfire risk to human populations and the ... -
