New BBS article w/ @lauragwilliams.bsky.social and Hinze Hogendoorn, just accepted! We respond to a thought-provoking article by @smfleming.bsky.social & @matthiasmichel.bsky.social, and argue that it's premature to conclude that conscious perception is delayed by 350-450ms: bit.ly/4nYNTlb

It takes time for the #brain to process information, so how can we catch a flying ball? @renrutmailliw.bsky.social &co reveal a multi-stage #motion #extrapolation occurring in the #HumanBrain, shifting the represented position of moving objects closer to real time @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/3Fm83Fc

Takeaways: musicians better in SJ tasks (but may be response bias) yet show > multisensory integration in a more objective RT task (but may be just better sustained attention, motivation, etc.). SJs show rapid recalibration but RTs don't, so RR probs not due to early sensory latency changes 9/10

⚠️New paper! If you like multisensory temporal perception, this one has HEAPS for you. We looked at simultaneity perception, simple RTs, race model inequality, serial dependence (recalibration), modality shift costs, musicians, and more! Findings summarised below 1/10 psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...

Frame and relevance problems from the perspective of predictive processing - new paper led by @monash-m3cs.bsky.social's Tom Darling #philsky www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Excited to have our new paper out in @cpsyjournal.bsky.social 🎉✨ with my amazing co-authors @christopherjwhyte.bsky.social @hohwy.bsky.social We develop an active inference model of the optimism bias to model development, belief updating and optimistic action. cpsyjournal.org/articles/10....

Just realised Bluesky supports videos so here is our new visual illusion! Fix your gaze on the grey dot. How many red dots do you see within the green frames? Many people consistently see two, despite only ever being shown one! jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx... w/ @renrutmailliw.bsky.social

Excited to share my first paper: a novel visual illusion discovered by my co-authors Will Turner and Hinze Hogendoorn which we call the "Split-Stimulus Effect", in which a single flashed stimulus is perceived to be in two different locations simultaneously jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx... [1/5]
