❗️Our next workshop will be on Nov 13 6 pm CET titled Building & Customising Stat Models with Stan and R: Introduction to Bayesian Inference by @mlisi.bsky.social Register or sponsor a student by donating to support Ukraine! Details: bit.ly/3wBeY4S Please share! #AcademicSky #EconSky #RStats

the amount of academic research now using llms in research (synthetic data generation, to classify, annotate, or analyse large scale data, etc) is astounding. remember, just cus use of llms in research is becoming normalised does NOT erase the fact it degrades the research & undermine your results

Vision Scientist PsychoPy users, any feedback on experience with modern OLED displays for vision science? we would be interested to hear your feedback on this post! Thank you! discourse.psychopy.org/t/modern-ole...

I am hiring PhD candidates to study the psychology of attention & technology use at @tilburg-university.bsky.social. We're looking for motivated & curious scholars with expertise in cognitive psychology and statistics, and offer a friendly work environment with great terms & benefits. tiu.nu/22989

Happy Fechner Day, to those who celebrate

I’ll be giving a 'Workshops for Ukraine' session on Building and Customising Statistical Models with Stan and R: An Introduction to Bayesian Inference — online on Nov 13. Open to all, with donations supporting Ukrainian organisations. 👉 sites.google.com/view/dariia-... #stats #rstats #statssky

OTD in 1881, Charles Darwin published his last book, on earthworms. It reflected a long interest in animal minds: “One alternative alone is left, namely, that worms, although standing low in the scale of organization, possess some degree of intelligence.” 🧪 🌱🐋🦋🦫 #HistSTM #philsci #pschsky #cogsci

🚨 Help my lab at @skeriresearch.bsky.social advance innovative research on the technology, perception, and neuroscience of accessibility! The Teng Lab has launched a pair of campaigns through @experiment.com. 🧠 experiment.com/braille 🦇 experiment.com/robinecho

PSA: you don’t “deserve a little treat” The world is endless horrors. You deserve endless treats of all sizes.

Simulations are fun! Especially with the right tools😉. @willenjoy.bsky.social and I (with support from Mina Jamshidi) made a toolbox for simulating EEG/MEG data meegsim.readthedocs.io I put together a quick simulation using it for this short clip. Took me 10 minutes (no, really!) #brainmovies

🔊 Vacancy: Open Research Manager, University of Sheffield Library (full-time, open-ended). The role will involve supporting projects across Sheffield and nationally with the @ukrepro.bsky.social to accelerate open research practices. Closing date 22 October: jobsite.sheffield.ac.uk/job/Open-Res...

A nice shift in perceived colour between central and peripheral vision. The fixated disc looks purple while the others look blue. The effect presumably comes from the absence of S-cones in the fovea. From Hinnerk Schulz-Hildebrandt: arxiv.org/pdf/2509.115...

We are thrilled to have our documentary selected for @londonbreeze.bsky.social & International Reflection of Disability in Art 2025! Check out the movie trailer www.bonsaipictures.co.uk/what-is-blin... and enjoy the movie at the festivals.

Now that every meeting and conversation inevitably involves AI 🤢 I find myself enjoying live classical music even more than I used to. It’s not embracing, not enhancing and not optimising — certified organic creation and execution.

I'm diving into the history of computers in cognitive experiments for next week's introduction to PsychoPy. Sadly, chronic computeritis is not a problem we give much thought to any more :)

Proposal for how to fix family wise error rates. For every uncorrected p value you must add an extra letter to the claim. “Eating chocolate maaaaaaaaay be associated with lower rates of stroke”

For those interested in open neuroscience learning tools, check out the preprint for “RetINaBox: A hands-on tool for experimental neuroscience" that a couple students in my lab worked on in collaboration with the Trenholm lab: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧠📈 🧪

Wrote this on the train home from Metascience. Can’t quite believe this one needed saying, but I really think that if conversations about research integrity and open science don’t take academic bullying seriously, we’ll keep perpetuating the same system that science reform was trying to change.

I guess we need CC-BY-NO-AI, which has a pleasing rhyme and rhythm to it.

Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.

Thanks to @achetverikov.bsky.social my #ECVP ended with a wonderful night at Mainzer Weinmarkt 🍷Thanks everyone for a fantastic conference and for really good conversations. See you next year!

my tired conference brain found Google's dog day animation very soothing 🤪

Excited to finally have in my hands a copy of our new book Statistics for Psychology Using R: A Linear Models Perspective (written with Alasdair Clarke, not on bsky) !! 📘 www.mheducation.co.uk/statistics-f... #PsychSciSky #neuroskyence #statistics #statssky @rhulpsychology.bsky.social

i think a lot about how zotero is actually one of the technologies academia actually should be pushing on students and faculty versus the lake-guzzling, town poisoning, and labor exploiting chatbots

Tom Lehrer always felt like an immortal constant :( Fun fact: my home town was mentioned in “Lobachevsky”. “If, after hearing my songs, just one human being is inspired to say something nasty to a friend, or perhaps to strike a loved one, it will all have been worthwhile.”

Werner Reichardt, credited with discovering the neural circuitry for motion detection in the retina in the 1950s, did so on borrowed time.

We invite psychology researchers at any stage of their career and at any type of institution to consider submitting their proposal formatted as a Stage 1 Registered Report for consideration to receive research funding from SIPS and a recommendation decision from PCI-RR! #PsychSciSky

Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.

I really hope this is not a new fire safety requirement for academic staff...

Thanks to the Vision Science feed here I now know what Vtuber Summer Slam is 😝

I wonder what the terminology will be for this in the future. Intellectually organic? certified human? 🤖

A few months ago, Nature published how-to guide for using ChatGPT to write your peer reviews in 30 minutes. This is, of course, a horrible idea. Here’s my response with @jbakcoleman.bsky.social .
