Humans can track about four moving objects at once using mental pointers known as “fingers of instantiation.” Laboratory experiments show these pointers help both track objects and guide actions. When attention shifts to new objects, performance…

This research uses immune cell “molecular fingerprints” to rapidly detect cancer from a single drop of blood. By combining nanosensors and machine learning, subtle changes in B cells can be identified within minutes. The approach offers fast,…

This research reinterprets the emotional attentional blink (EAB), arguing that visual distinctiveness, not emotion alone, drives initial attentional capture. Using RSVP experiments, it shows that emotional distractors only impair target detection…
