Psychophysics & sample size debate 👀Small “n” isn’t automatically weak 📊Large “n” isn’t always the only path to rigour This Perception Editorial revisits a long-standing tension in vision science Small n does not mean poor research. ↓ Full paper: doi.org/10.1177/0301...

Really happy to have presented my first poster at #VSS2026! There were so many great posters and talks. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and heard me talking about Perceptual Confidence on Auditory-Induced Visual Position Biases. I hope to see you all next year with more great science :)

Confidence dinner at #VSS last night. The group is getting larger each year!

I think it's important for neuroscientists to reinforce this too. It's the first thing I teach in my cog neuro class. A thing isn't more real just because it's found in the brain. Every psychological thing must be in the brain at some level

It takes a village to produce research with impact. This is the idea that motivated us to write this paper, published today.  Kudos to the team: @lluisdanus.bsky.social @william-dinneen.bsky.social @carotorreblanca.bsky.social @guygrossman.bsky.social @asc.upenn.edu www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

"...In the short term, struggling through a scientific paper can be a humbling experience."

The strongest version of this illusion I’ve seen! Absolute head-wrecker!

I am looking to hire 2-3 post-docs over the course of the next few months to work on questions related to cognitive control in humans, broadly construed. EEG, TMS, DBS, sEEG, fMRI or related methodological experience preferred. Apply here: jobs.uiowa.edu/jobSearch/po... Lab website: wessellab.org

Grateful to be part of this network!

Last week we kicked off our first lab meeting of the new academic year. No scientific presentation this time. Instead, we were tasked with designing experiments to answer some *truly critical* research questions.

Philosopher John Searle has died.

As a humanities professor, I completely agree with this take. Students will occasionally say to me "I chose this class because I thought it would be easy" I usually ask them, "why did you think that would be easy?" I know the answer, but I think it's useful for them to feel comfortable answering

William James's take on psychophysics is *incredible*. Worth reading the whole quote. #psychSciSky #philsky #VisionScience "But psychology is passing into a less simple phase. Within a few years what one may call a microscopic psychology has arisen in Germany, carried on by experimental methods,

Our oscillations consensus paper is finally out as a preprint 🤩 thanks to everyone involved arxiv.org/abs/2507.15639

This looks like it's gonna be great. For those who might want to break up their travel, I realize we're not the most popular invitation at the moment, but there ARE non-stops between Orlando and Santiago de Chile. 🙂 @theassc.bsky.social www.assc2026.online

Powerful piece "It would be a catastrophically unwise decision for humanity to abandon a key step in training young brains simply because they can now clack a few keys and produce something that sounds intelligent" www.forkingpaths.co/p/the-death-... h/t @cianodonnell.bsky.social

If you work with perceptual confidence judgments, you may be interested in our CNCB model of confidence ratings. Joint work with Vincent de Gardelle. Uncorrected proofs here: dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour... (🧵 1/4)

Dans Severance, la dernière (super) série SF du moment, ça discute cerveau et oscillations ! ! L'occasion rêvée pour un article dans @france.theconversation.com, où neurosciences et science-fiction se mêlent ➡️ theconversation.com/severance-le... Merci Aurélie Louchart, @bentonson.bsky.social !

The CODE Network Workshop on Computational Modelling in Leuven was a fantastic opportunity to explore up-to-date ideas on metacognition🤯. We had an excellent lineup of presenters and students enriched the event with their project presentations! #MSCA

What an incredible event! 🎉 so grateful and excited after the first workshop at UCL! It was such a privilege to hear from an incredible lineup of speakers and connect with everyone who joined us.
