Magic Primarycolours Bio APPROVED
MAGIC! Primary Colours In 2014, Toronto-bred, Los Angeles-based quartet MAGIC! scored the song of the summer with their debut single “Rude” — a buoyant reggae-pop tune that held the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for six weeks, charted in 41 countries, and sold more than 10 million singles, while its video nears a billion VEVO views. It was a juggernaut that launched their debut album, Don’t Kill the Magic, into the Top 10 and introduced MAGIC!’s breezy sound — a catchy fusion of reggae, pop, and R&B — to the world. “When ‘Rude’ got big, my thought was, ‘What do we do with this?’” says the band’s lead vocalist and chief songwriter Nasri. “So we chased it. We used its success to get us around the world a few times and to turn those 350 million streams into a fan base.” Indeed over the past two years MAGIC! has established itself as a bonafide sensation thanks to its undeniably catchy sound, superlative songwriting, and masterful musicianship. Now the band, which also features guitarist Mark Pelli, drummer Alex Tanas, and bassist Ben Spivak, has released a new single, the Caribbean-tinged “Lay You Down Easy” (featuring Sean Paul), which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Reggae Digital Songs chart and racked up two million Spotify streams and one million VEVO views in its first two weeks. MAGIC! is also gearing up for the July release of its new album, Primary Colours, which finds the band further displaying its reggae influences and pop smarts. -

Yet it is not clear how stereopsis losses contribute to findings of motion perception deficits in older adults. To assess the contribution of stereopsis losses, three groups (younger adults, older adults with intact stereopsis, older adults with poor stereopsis) were recruited for a fine-grain movement task. -

Polarity Selectivity of Spatial Interactions in Perceived Contrast
Journal of Vision (2012) 12(2):3, 1–10 http://www.journalofvision.org/content/12/2/3 1 Polarity selectivity of spatial interactions in perceived contrast Department of Psychology, The University of Tokyo, Japan,& Human and Information Science Laboratory, Hiromi Sato NTT Communication Science Laboratories, NTT, Japan Human and Information Science Laboratory, Isamu Motoyoshi NTT Communication Science Laboratories, NTT, Japan Department of Psychology, Takao Sato The University of Tokyo, Japan The apparent contrast of a texture is reduced when surrounded by another texture with high contrast. This contrast–contrast phenomenon has been thought to be a result of spatial interactions between visual channels that encode contrast energy. In the present study, we show that contrast–contrast is selective to luminance polarity by using texture patterns composed of sparse elongated blobs. The apparent contrast of a texture of bright (dark) elements was substantially reduced only when it was surrounded by a texture of elements with the same polarity. This polarity specificity was not evident for textures with high element densities, which were similar to those used in previous studies, probably because such stimuli should inevitably activate both on- and off-type sensors. We also found that polarity-selective suppression decreased as the difference in orientation between the center and surround elements increased but remained for orthogonally oriented elements. These results suggest that the contrast–contrast illusion largely depends on spatial interactions between visual channels that are selective to on–off polarity and only weakly selective to orientation.

Neuroregulation

ISNR. This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC-BY). KEYNOTE PRESENTATIONS Harnessing Brain Plasticity: The Future of Neurotherapeutics Adam Gazzaley, MD, PhD Neuroscience Imaging Center and Neuroscape Lab Principal Investigator, Gazzaley Lab, University of California, San Francisco, California, USA A fundamental challenge of modern society is the development of effective approaches to enhance brain function and cognition in both healthy and impaired individuals. For the healthy, this serves as a core mission of our educational system and for the cognitively impaired this is a critical goal of our medical system. Unfortunately, there are serious and growing concerns about the ability of either system to meet this challenge. I will describe an approach developed in our lab that uses custom-designed video games to achieve meaningful and sustainable cognitive enhancement (e.g., Anguera et al., 2013), as well the next stage of our research program, which uses video games integrated with technological innovations in software (e.g., brain computer interface algorithms, Neurofeedback, GPU computing) and hardware (e.g., virtual reality headsets, mobile EEG, transcranial electrical brain stimulation) to create a novel personalized closed-loop system. I will share with you a vision of the future in which video games serve as an underlying engine to enhance our brain’s information processing systems, thus reducing our reliance on non-specific drugs to treat neurological and psychiatric conditions and allowing us to better target our educational efforts. -
Visual Context Processing in Schizophrenia

Glasser3, Sang Wook Hong1,5, Randolph Blake1,2, and Sohee Park1 1Department of Psychology, Vanderbilt University; 2Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, Seoul National University, Republic of Korea; 3Center for Visual Science and Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, University of Rochester; 4Department of Ophthalmology, University of Rochester; and 5Department of Psychology, Florida Atlantic University Abstract Abnormal perceptual experiences are central to schizophrenia, but the nature of these anomalies remains undetermined. We investigated contextual processing abnormalities across a comprehensive set of visual tasks. For perception of luminance, size, contrast, orientation, and motion, we quantified the degree to which the surrounding visual context altered a center stimulus’s appearance. Healthy participants showed robust contextual effects across all tasks, as evidenced by pronounced misperceptions of center stimuli. Schizophrenia patients exhibited intact contextual modulations of luminance and size but showed weakened contextual modulations of contrast, performing more accurately than controls. Strong motion and orientation context effects correlated with worse symptoms and social functioning. Importantly, the overall strength of contextual -
