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...

Science

Science matters!

Always fun to spot someone famous in public, like at IKEA @patricknessbooks.bsky.social

Excellent first 2025 BIGTALK by @michaelproulx.bsky.social! Preferences for eye tracking targeting, scan paths not fixations for activity recognition, implicit gaze as unique fingerprint, shoutout to Bristol’s egocentric computer vision @dimadamen.bsky.social. Human experience and inclusion are key!

Michael Proulx @michaelproulx.bsky.social is kicking off a new year of BIG TALK this Thursday at 2pm GMT with "Eye tracking in extended reality," discussing his research at University of Bath & Reality Labs Research (Meta née Oculus). Join us online, all welcome! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/big-talk-m...

Approach 1: DeepMReye A deep learning framework for camera-less #EyeTracking in #fMRI. It decodes gaze position from eye-voxel patterns, is highly accurate, and works in existing data and eyes-closed (e.g., rest, sleep)! Code: github.com/DeepMReye/De... Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 4/9

Our paper on Visual impairment, visual media exposure, and body image -- I am catching up here 🦋

Our new paper on how multi-sensory presentation of phylogenetic trees can improve evolution education for everyone #Education #Diversity #inclusion #TelmaLaurentino #GillianGlover @meike-scheller.bsky.social michaelproulx.bsky.social evolution-outreach.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

New paper! We studied how media, other social pressures, and our senses contribute to how we feel about our bodies by focusing on people with or without visual impairments. This work is open access and free for all to read journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.... @alealisousa.bsky.social

Journal fees for open access are becoming obscene. But what are we, scientists, paying for? I made a simple plot with journals in my research area(s). Clearly, we are paying for prestige: a shockingly clean correlation between the impact factor and journal fees
