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 .

We're glad to see so many @lng.org.uk partners at #BNA2025 - come visit the stands for @ljmuofficial.bsky.social, @liverpooluni.bsky.social, @thewaltoncentre.bsky.social, and BYOB Liverpool stand where we'll be hosting @thebraincharity.bsky.social and @painreliefteam.bsky.social

Unfortunately, the NSF grant that supports our work has been terminated. This is a setback, but our mission has not changed. We will continue to work hard on making cognitive science a more inclusive field. Stay tuned for upcoming events.

Academia is cool because if you're doing it right, every paper you published in the last 3 years feels inadequate now that you understand the topic better, but it'll take 3 years to get out the version where you get it more right, and you get to do that until one day you die! Isn't that cool

Are you a UK based self-funded post grad researcher? (PhD, MRes etc) If so, I'd like to send you a copy of my book. I have *five* to give away. Please share and drop a note below or DM me. I'll announce next Friday (from the pub) 🐕 📖 🍺 more info - www.immersiveresearch.co.uk/bookshop

This was a difficult thread to write.. Our research on antidepressants has been supported by NIMH for 10 years. Until the last moment, their comms team was still trying to put out a press piece about this work for us. I’m so sorry.

Had a fun couple of hours introducing A-level students to vision science. Huge thank you to @bjbalas.bsky.social for the book and the resources, which made this a breeze! Instant CSFs were a hit.

Hi #Liverpool! As @britishneuro.bsky.social is coming to town - we've organised a number of (mostly) free, neuroscience-themed public events taking place in and around Liverpool over the next few days & weeks. Check out the programme: meetings.bna.org.uk/BYOBLiverpool/
