Precision and temporal dynamics in heading perception assessed by continuous psychophysics

Plos.org 

by Björn Jörges, Ambika Bansal, Laurence R. Harris

It is a well-established finding that more informative optic flow (e.g., faster, denser, or presented over a larger portion of the visual field) yields decreased variability in heading judgements. Current models of heading perception further predict faster processing under such circumstances, which has, however, not been supported empirically so far.

While many frameworks exist for building person-centered and equitable systems of contraceptive care, evidence indicates that the reality of patients’ experiences of care is often not in alignment with these ideals. Historical and current contexts of racism in the healthcare system contribute to negative perceptions and experiences of care, as well as reduced care-seeking behavior, for those who identify as Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC).
