#ECVP2025 submission deadline extended by two weeks! It's a miracle that keeps repeating every year...thank you @ecvp.bsky.social 😂

A New Hope.

@vssmtg.bsky.social , I am sure this must be a mistake...there is no reason to tone down your EDI statement, right? Right?? #visionscience

THREAD The numbers are in. @bsky.app research sharing volumes vs X Formerly Twitter In March 2024, on most days, Bluesky hosts more posts linked to research published in 2025 than X. By quite a lot. Release the Kraken... #AcademicSky #HigherEd #Altmetrics 1/11

...I guess it would be easier to ask "Do you have a Bluesky account"? Yes: entry denied No: entry granted 🧠

I am SO proud. Ad maiora @fiammarini.bsky.social! 🧠 #VisionScience #VisionResearch #PsychSciSky

Every scientist, long before they were a scientist, was a little kid who stood in front of a fish tank or stared up at the stars or turned over a rock to look at the bugs underneath and said “wow”. On the best days, working in science still feels like that.

Hello #PhD students! We are running a workshop on how to organise scientific conferences. We would love to include your questions in our Q&A sections. Any tips and tricks you would like to hear from those who've been through it all? Read on… 🧵 1/5 #PhDSky #PhDchat

New video from OK Go just dropped, with some cool instances of holistic face perception

In this "Mondrian" assimilation #illusion, the background color in all the apparently tan, yellow, and orange areas is actually exactly the same.

My dear friends Guido and Sara have experienced a new shock recently: Sara's brain cancer has returned for the second time. Her traditional treatment options are limited, but they want to try experimental treatments not covered by insurance. Please consider donating what you can. gofund.me/05154011

Welcome #ECVP2025!

Yeah, I’ve read academic papers like this.

The journals Perception and i-Perception are now on Bluesky! We’ll post here updates about articles published in the journals, calls for special issues, and any other exciting news related to perception research.

Mega-thread of 50 psychology-related starter packs! Click here and scroll up! bsky.app/profile/mark... #Psychology #AcademicSky #EduSky 🧪

I've created a feed associated with theFace Processing starter pack (go.bsky.app/9A7EJsU). You can post to the feed using any of the following tags: #FaceMatching, #FaceMemory, #FaceLearning, #FaceIdentification, #FacialAttactiveness, #FacialFirstImpressions, #FaceProcessing, #FaceRecognition

Join us, Aberdonians 🙂 go.bsky.app/NmBFDHn

Let's goooo

At last, there's a searchable directory of Bluesky starter packs, courtesy of @mubashariqbal.com! Just one more way third-party developers are helping to make this place better. Search starter packs by keyword, and sort by "Uses" to see which ones people are finding the most helpful

My fav starter packs so far, a thread: stats: go.bsky.app/Ki7PjpS stats: go.bsky.app/7TBN5rX causal inference: go.bsky.app/FdemGAZ package devs: go.bsky.app/N1569Qh data peeps: go.bsky.app/8TdEfdK medical stats: go.bsky.app/ArqEz36 bioinformatics: go.bsky.app/Ha64Gmv r-ladies: go.bsky.app/Vgxwa2F

Thanks AI, now give me a third eye please

Do you want more cognitive psychology in your Bluesky feed? Well of course you do! Starter packs are collections of accounts with a shared research interest, so you can find more of the conversations that you are interested in. Here are some we know about related to cognitive psychology ... (1/)

Does past visual experience influence facial first impressions? Our new research with C Sutherland, L Jeffery, S Maisey, and @mauromanassi.bsky.social shows that trustworthiness/dominance impressions are influenced by previously seen faces, even by emotional expressions. tinyurl.com/bdh3mcf4 🧵1/8

Something like this?

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

I will soon open a call for a 1.5-year postdoc position at the University of Aberdeen (Scotland). I will be co-chairing #ECVP2024 in Aberdeen next week (August 25-29th) with Prof. Constanze Hesse, so feel free to get in touch for an informal chat! 😉 @ecvp.bsky.social #visionscience

#ECVP2024 starts in 3 days, and we are excited to welcome you all to Aberdeen! Guillermo del Toro (@realgdt.bsky.social) is here too, and he is loving it 😆 @ecvp.bsky.social

It has been proposed that schizophrenia patients rely more on sensory input and less on prior information. According to this view, they are less affected by visual illusions that rely on perceptual priors. But is this really true?(shorturl.at/jmhKv) 1/6🧵

The -final- deadline for abstract submission and early bird registration for #ECVP2024 in Aberdeen, Scotland (August 25-29, 2024) is April 19th at 11:59pm (latest time zone on Earth). This is less than a week away. Do not miss it! More info at ecvp2024.abdn.ac.uk

Our visual experience is biased towards the past. Despite extensive research on serial dependencies, their purpose remains unknown. In our @natrevpsych.bsky.social paper (rdcu.be/dD8of) we propose they are manifestations of Continuity Fields, purposeful integration mechanisms 1/8

In a new Perspective Mauro Manassi (@mauromanassi.bsky.social) & David Whitney propose continuity fields as the mechanism underlying positive serial dependence (whereby objects/features are biased to appear like previously seen stimuli) Web: go.nature.com/3VNAscT PDF: rdcu.be/dD9iJ #psychology

Erm..not sure that this is the message that we want to put across to our students, University of Aberdeen.

mmm I am not sure these COVID warnings for my lectures are ageing very well...

We are receiving many emails regarding the overlapping ECVP and ECEM dates. ECVP 2024 dates were announced in 2022, and ECEM communicated their dates this Monday. We are currently reaching out to ECEM organisers to find a solution in the interest of the vision community #ECVP2024 #ECEM2024

New #rstats color palette package just dropped: {MoMAColors}! It has gorgeous colors from art at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC

Many psychophysics & brain mapping studies use small samples. This often deeply confuses editors & reviewers trained on population statistics. It can also make it difficult to preregister & interpret such studies. Here we attempt to change that: doi.org/10.1101/2023... #neuroscience #visionscience

I have to admit, I lost count of the number of times I remade those in Illustrator...Thanks @steveharoz.com!
