So happy this is finally out, almost 4 years in the making! academic.oup.com/nc/article/2... A celebration of open and collaborative science: 📜Replicating the unconscious working memory effect: a multisite Registered Report Thank you so much to the 48 coauthors of the uWM project!🇬🇦

Super proud of @pietroamerio.bsky.social who successfully defended his thesis on « vision at very short durations » today. Congrats!

Coming out of social media hibernation to announce that earlier this month I became Doctor Pietro 🎉 huge thanks to @axc.bsky.social for the amazing mentoring along the way, and to the CO3 lab and @crcnulb.bsky.social for making these years so memorable ❤

📝 Preprint alert 📝 Recent reports showed violations of Bloch's law (aka intensity-duration reciprocity) in visual perception. Me and @axc.bsky.social reassessed these violations using a modern LCD-based tachistoscope: doi.org/10.31234/osf...

If you are up for a nice academic battle, consider responding to our BBS paper "Studying unconscious processing: contention and consensus". The deadline is October 15th. Link below!

The call for commentaries on our BBS paper is out now (deadline October 15): shorturl.at/Hu3Yu. In the paper (shorturl.at/4Rbk6), we provide recommendations and outstanding issues about designing experimental paradigms, analyzing data, and reporting the results of studies on unconscious processing 👇

Absolutely incredible work led by @patxelos.bsky.social and @dsotob.bsky.social - such a compelling case of unconscious perception! Privileged to have been a little part of this 🧠

BBS just issued the call for commentaries, and we would LOVE to get yours!! The deadline is October 15th, and the reference number is BBS-D-24-00489R2. Looking forward to hearing what you think about our suggestions for how to study unconscious processes!

So excited to see this work published! It was a truly inspiring collaboration - thanks to @maorschreiber.bsky.social, @francoisstock.bsky.social, @liadmudrik.bsky.social and @nfaivre.bsky.social for their incredibile efforts in making this happen 🚀

Super grateful to the WM team for such an exciting project 🥹🗺️🤍 You can check the slides of the @assc28.bsky.social presentation at| www.researchgate.net/publication/...

So happy to see this as a preprint 🔥 It was a pleasure to work with and learn from @matthiasmichel.bsky.social Stephan Goerttler @meganakpeters.bsky.social and @axc.bsky.social

As a bonus, @pietroamerio.bsky.social did a fantastic job creating brand new models that model observers providing visibility (not just confidence) ratings! Thanks @axc.bsky.social for inviting me in Brussels as a postdoc to work on this project. I had a fantastic time.

New paper: we're getting close to showing unconscious perception with a non-biased (2IFC) visibility task, using both metacontrast masking and super fast presentations (980 micro(!!)-seconds) using a modern-day tachistoscope (shown here). Preprint here: osf.io/preprints/ps...
