Nominations for the UKRN Dorothy Bishop Prize 2026 have opened! Named after @deevybee.bsky.social, the prize, first awarded in 2022, celebrates the contributions of early career researchers to research improvement. Nominations close 18 January 2026. #AcademicSky #Research

My colleague, friend, former PhD/postdoc @xiangbin-teng.bsky.social and his colleagues argue for (yet) another interesting attribute of music listening. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

How it turned out @ APCAM AND Psychonomics. My trainees did a great job presenting about misophonia and music, Dylan and Isabella pictured. Rose and David did great too! My own poster had the wrong degrees of freedom so clearly I’m not setting the best example 🙃

NOT a proud alumnus today! www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

Pleased to advertise that the auditory labs from UNLV will have presentations from post-bacc, grad student, post-doc, and faculty researchers @psychonomicsociety.bsky.social and the APCAM auditory conference in Denver in a few weeks. Please see the image for details on our presentations.

The editorial leadership team for the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance seeks nominations for intern junior editorial positions for early-career psychologists (IJEs).

Look what I did this summer! I had the pleasure of writing a review paper on three kinds of multisensory-emotional experience, with Hirohito Kondo and Erin Hannon. This is submitted to a special issue of @nconsc.bsky.social on Embodied and Phenomenological Perspectives on Consciousness. 🧵:

Launched in 2023, Imaging Neuroscience is now firmly established, with full indexing (PubMed, etc.) and 700 papers to date. We're very happy to announce that we are able to reduce the APC to $1400. Huge thanks to all authors, reviewers, editorial team+board, and MIT Press.

Great article, and I love some of the responses from leading thinkers. Nicole and @theamygdaloid.bsky.social in particular point out the importance of studying the phenomenon of conscious feelings as directly as possible.

Just gave my student the following writing advice, and I'm pretty proud of it: please never use "utilize", it's not useful.

At long last, we submitted our 2 experiment study failing to find EEG evidence that primary motor cortex is modulated by high-groove music. Wish us luck in peer review! Led by Samantha O’Connell.

Another highly cited classic finding fails to replicate

Can we blame this on AI?

UNLV's MRI facility is close to completion and we are now searching for an MRI Technologist. Please help me spread the word! nshe.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/UNLV-E... #neuroimaging #MRI #neuroscience #psychology

I wrote a commentary (mostly) disagreeing with the thought-provoking @smfleming.bsky.social & @matthiasmichel.bsky.social BBS paper about consciousness arising during the transition of animals from sea to land. #consciousness #neuroscience #evolution

Great example of the importance of construct validity in neuroscience!

Fascinating figure at the cogsci biz meeting this morning: because CSS owns their two journals (Cognitive Science and topiCS), they get a ton of revenue from the publisher, on the order of a half mil per year This is so much money that they can run huge conferences at a loss, in perpetuity

TWCF grantee Cory Clark from @upenn.edu surveyed scholars who had engaged in #AdversarialCollaborations; ACs often save time during peer review, result in higher-quality research, & most felt they improved understanding in their field and would try ACs again. 🔗 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Are you working on issues of replication and reproducibility of methodological research in psychology? Consider submitting a proposal to my call for papers, happy to chat about your ideas or answer any questions! www.psychologicalscience.org/publications...

Last opportunity to reproduce/replicate a study published @nathumbehav.nature.com. This is an official collaboration with NHB. All authors of completed reports will be included as coauthors to our meta-paper to be submitted to NHB this Fall. 🧵

Research on three auditory emotional experiences (musical chills, ASMR, and misophonia) has grown very rapidly in recent years! #emotion #ASMR #misophonia #music #psychology #neuroscience

Here rdcu.be/es8A1 we respond to the recent (unfair) editorial in Nature about recent criticisms of IIT theory of consciousness. We keep fighting for transparent and serious science. @hakwan.bsky.social @felipedebrigard.bsky.social @deanbuono.bsky.social

Update: Nature corrected their editorial and also published a correspondence from some of us objecting to the use of the term "uncollegial" to describe our critique of a problematic theory.

Does anyone know of studies that examine both 1. effects of top-down attention to, and 2. emotional content of, attended stimuli on sensory responses to ignored stimuli? I'm specifically curious whether effects of attention and emotion summate to some extent to reduce responses to ignored stimuli.

There's a nice shinyapp that generates a report about your study's quality and reproducibility characteristics pecans.shinyapps.io/Pecans_Check...

Nice to see more studies using brain stimulation to study rhythm perception!

Hey there #visionscience and #psychscisky friends! I wanted to take a moment to (finally) do a proper promo 🧵 about my new textbook: Practical Vision Science, which is now available from Routledge books. <1/n> www.routledge.com/Practical-Vi...
