Having a great time at #vss2026 presenting my senior honors thesis from UC Santa Cruz in Nicolas Davidenko’s lab: how do we control our perception of a polystable motion illusion🌀(perhaps mental imagery 👁️‍🗨️?)! The best part is the reunion with the lab and Allie Allen, who was my PhD student mentor!

New work from my lab! Young children find it easier to represent mutually-exclusive possible identities of an object than possible locations of an object - an early object-rep-architecture limitation on possibility reasoning! Work led by @esranur.bsky.social recently accepted in Open Mind ✨

Had a great time sharing my work with @levelsof.bsky.social on visual imagery variability in children at CDS in Montreal! So excited to get this measure out soon so it can be put to use! And… can’t wait to see what we (with @jorge-morales.bsky.social, Sam Ling, and Michaela Klimova) find in the 🧠.

#srcd2025 come check out our symposium on how contextual factors can influence children’s questions and their explanations! We are beyond excited to present these talks- 10 AM, Room 207 AB, Minneapolis Convention Center, Level 2! See you there 🎉
