New preprint ! 🎺 👇 We show that objects can facilitate scene recognition irrespectively to their semantical link to the scenes. TMS to Object-selective LOC eliminated such facilitation! Congratulations to Aaron for his first paper coming from a chunky master thesis project!

New preprint out today (osf.io/preprints/ps...). We tested whether AI agents are actually infiltrating online surveys. Spoiler alert: they aren't Thread 🧵 [1/9]

JOB ALERT: PhD opening in my lab! @cimecunitrento.bsky.social in Italy, as part of an Italian FIS3 starting grant. The project will use advanced analysis methods of MEG data to investigate how our world's naturalistic hierarchical structure facilitates predictive neural processing.

Multi-task fMRI outperforms resting-state fMRI for revealing task-invariant organization of the human brain https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.03.09.710558v1

Maybe of interest: The submission guidelines of Psychological Science now demand an explicit statement on measures taken to reduce the risk of AI-generated responses for all online studies! www.psychologicalscience.org/publications...

The "publish or perish" culture must perish. Scientists need time to think. We just published our Slow Science Manifesto, where we argue that huge changes are needed in the way we fund, publish, and evaluate science. Read more and sign here: www.slow-science.com

New research from @peelen.bsky.social, shows our brain actively predicts how they should look based on the 3D structure of the environment. Even when objects are temporarily hidden from view, their expected orientation can be decoded from activity in the visual cortex. 👇 www.ru.nl/en/donders-i...

Now out in @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social: our short response to @neurosteven.bsky.social & Edward de Haan's recent paper on the binding problem. We argue that the binding problem arises because of tradeoffs faced by any information processing system, including the brain and DNNs. shorturl.at/RGXzt

We've got ISSUES. Literally. We scraped >100k special issues & over 1 million articles to bring you a PISS-poor paper. We quantify just how many excess papers are published by guest editors abusing special issues to boost their CVs. How bad is it & what can we do? arxiv.org/abs/2601.07563 A 🧵 1/n

It is with profound sadness that we share the devastating news that Eleanor Maguire passed away on January 4th. She was a phenomenally brilliant neuroscientist, with immense passion for her work and many remarkable accomplishments. We will miss her terribly. www.online-tribute.com/EleanorMaguire

Made my first PyPi package "EnvisionHGdetector" (version 0.0.3), a simple skeleton-based hand gesture recognizer using a convolutional neural network trained on three fully open datasets (SAGA, TEDM3D, Zhubo). Demo and info: envisionbox.org/embedded_Usi... Package: pypi.org/project/envi...

This one filled up quickly, so here is a second set, which still has plenty of open slots! go.bsky.app/HQeoP7D

Hello everyone, we've started a Brain Stimulation Starter Pack - for all things brain stim (not just TMS) - please get in touch to be added & share the ⚡ buzz ⚡ go.bsky.app/395SGxh

New Preprint ! We use Mack and Rock's inattentional blindness task on a large sample of museum visitors (N = 13539!). Person silhouettes led to a stimulus specific inversion effect for detection. Even in absence of top-down attention, the visual system is ready to detect the upright human form!

Hi vision scientists! Several people have asked to be added to the #VisionScience starter pack, which is great! But everyone added recently has been a man, which has skewed what was once a more even mix. Can anyone recommend some women or NB people to add?

if you use transcranial magnetic stimulation #TMS #BrainStim research methods, then we need to hear from you! this is a new venture that i am a part of: to reach consensus, embed best practice, & share data code & resources please like, re-post, see the thread below Workshop, 23-25 April 2025, UK

This may be of interest mainly to those in Italy, however on Monday (Sept 30) we inaugurate a new Centre for the Study of Perception and Art (CARPE) www.dpg.unipd.it/en/carpe

Testing if this works... Trying to make a starter pack for researchers in #perception science Please share ! Will be adding more folks as I learn how #academicsky works ! go.bsky.app/V99fSBK

Very nice to find back the neuroscience community here on bsky - First post with a new Preprint :-) This is a nice collaborative project in which we modulate connectivity between primary visual cortex and the extrastriate body area using paired associative brain stimulation.
