Contrast media penetration of the blood brain barrier, direct neurotoxic effect selectively to the occipital cortex, arterial spasm, allergic reaction to contrast media, and direct injection to the vertebral artery all claimed to explain this self limited, reversible phenomenon, bu...
متن کاملRecovery from Change Blindness 1 MANUSCRIPT UNDER REVISION – SUBMITTED TO PECEPTION PLEASE DO NOT CITE WITHOUT PERMISSION Attentional Filtering of Transients Allows for a Recovery from Change Blindness
Previous reports suggest that introducing distracting visual transients during a change detection task can result in change blindness. In four experiments we find that presenting the distracting transients repeatedly prior to the change produces a recovery from change blindness. This recovery from change blindness is not due solely to low-level neural adaptation of transient detectors, but inst...
