In a new paper (with @kayritchie.bsky.social, Eilidh Noyes, Carl Bunce and Josh Davis) we investigated AI-face detection in super-recognisers and typical-ability participants, both with and without a short training procedure. See the link below for the results! doi.org/10.1098/rsos...

I am looking to create a lab code of conduct/manual/safety check type document outlining the ethos of how we work. Could anyone point me in the direction of a good (open source) example covering safety, comms, working with others etc.? Or would anyone be willing to share theirs? Thank you!

Proud supervisor moment 🎉: The PhD student that I am co-supervising just won first prize for his poster at the school's PhD conference!! It's only Wednesday, and it's already a great week!

I was born and raised a Blue Jays fan, so of course I am watching the game (even though it's ... well ... very early in the UK). Come on #BlueJays ! You can fight back from this!

Excited to share a new article from @icevislab.bsky.social! In a sample of over 60 people, we found distinct neural differences underlying object and face recognition in dyslexia. These findings highlight crucial domain-general visual processes that may contribute to word reading challenges.

What is a good platform for doing online survey research of persons with neurodevelopmental disorders (ADHD, ASD)? Prolific?

We’re hiring! We are looking for a postdoc in my lab, childvisionlab.co.uk to study how early vision loss & sight-rescuing treatments shape brain development. Join our Wellcome-funded project using advanced neuroimaging and behavioral methods! Deadline March 1st, start date flexible. t.ly/2Yoel

[1/2] I made a change to the #FaceProcessing feed (found here: bsky.app/profile/did:...). Essentially because it wasn't catching the tags well enough it now shows the posts of all the researchers who are in the face processing starter pack (found here: go.bsky.app/9A7EJsU)

First post on Bluesky! Looking forward to viewing and sharing more content related to vision, perception, and life in general. All the best!

We've joined #bluesky on our 50th anniversary! Follow us for research, commentary, and helpful tips for authors. To kick things off, we're excited to share these short editorials by Michael Posner, Isabel Gauthier (our editor), and David Rosenbaum: psycnet.apa.org/PsycARTICLES...

It's probably time to re-share this #FaceProcessing starter pack! If you do face research (e.g., face perceptiom/memory, detection, attractiveness or first impressions), and would like to be added, let me know below! Ps. The associated feed is linked in the next comment below. go.bsky.app/9A7EJsU

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

'Automated face recognition assists with low‐prevalence face identity mismatches but can bias users'- our new paper funded by the EPS Graduate Bursary to Melina Mueller and Anna Bobak is now online! @rjwatt42.bsky.social @pjbhancock.bsky.social bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Looking to follow more graduate students in psychology? Look no further. Comment to be added! go.bsky.app/SJfTsPJ

Hopefully I'm not being too presumptuous here, but I figured there might be some need for a face perception starter pack. I know that I wanted one to exist so I'd know who to follow. I've added some folks that do work related to face perception, but let me know if you want in! go.bsky.app/9A7EJsU

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’m hiring !! 📣🧠📣 We’re looking for a postdoc to join The Uncertainty Lab at @birkbeckpsychology.bsky.social You’ll lead fMRI work on a new project studying how communication with others alters private metacognition of our own minds. cis7.bbk.ac.uk/vacancy/post...

The best writing advice I've ever gotten is to remember that the first draft is where you explain it all to yourself and then the second draft is where you explain it all to your readers.
