Scottish Vision Group 2026 meeting is coming! 👁️✨ April 10–12 | Nairn (near Inverness) Three days of vision science in beautiful northern Scotland. Registration and abstract deadline: February 21 www.scottishvisiongroup.org/svg2026.html #PsychSciSky #VisionScience #neuroskyence

It seems like it never gets boring. And feels like an absolute magic every time.

And if you’re happening to be in Zürich this week and up for a coffee, let me know. This week I’m spending at the Computational Psychiatry Course. Let’s see how it’s gonna be.

While summer isn’t over yet, I’d like to thank #ECVP for an amazing week of talks, knowledge, science, songs, parties, discussions, and more. It was a wonderful mix of science and friendship. Thank you all! #ecvp2025 PS: I’m (not) seriously considering opening a glitter booth next year ✨

I can’t think of a cooler way to communicate science. Check out the attached PDF — it’s definitely worth your time if you’re into visual storytelling or data visualization.

Show us your writing process in a gif

I just learned that there is an open postdoc position for AI in Psychology with us. The deadline is in two days, but if you are interested and willing to write a quick proposal, let me know. Potential topics: comp. modeling of VWM/perception, brain decoding. www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...

I wrote this for my US friends and colleagues, but also for all of us. Lessons from the past. open.substack.com/pub/verakemp...

Paper🚨 "Objects, Faces, and Spaces: Organizational Principles of Visual Object Perception as Evidenced by Individual Differences in Behavior" by @heidasigurdar.bsky.social & @ingamariao.bsky.social JEP:G editor's choice ->free to read psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202... #visionscience #psychscisky 🧵1/13

Dear Sci Community, I’m looking for an illustrated book from probably late 80s (it was translated to Russian in early 90s, blue ink). The book was among others about space-time distortion and gravity. There were 2 main characters (Rose? & Gaston?) and the title included Catastrophe? Any ideas?

We're just starting the UKRN Project TIER workshop for teaching reproducible research. I'll be live-blogging the sessions in this thread. www.ukrn.org/training/tea...

Huge congrats go to @ovchinir.bsky.social Irina Ovchinnikova, who is doing her doctoral studies under my supervision, for receiving a doctoral grant from the Icelandic Research Fund today 😊 Irina is already an exceptionally experienced researcher so this is very well deserved.
