🔊 dear BSKY people, I'm looking for a chatter, blabber, cocktail party background audio generator that has hopefully been used for research before. any tip or recommendation is appreciated. reposts are also appreciated as they may bring this post closer to someone that knows 🙌
Excited to share the first publication from my PhD project: how does low-dose LSD (10 and 20 µg) affect visual perception🧠 In 30 healthy volunteers (within-subject crossover) we assessed visual perception using visual contrast surround suppression (psychophysics), and subjectively (questionnaires).

Evidence for unconscious priming using a Bayesian single-subject approach
Abstract. Many studies have claimed the existence of unconscious priming, but a valid statistical procedure for substantiating such claims is often lacking

Have you used Bayes factor to test point-null hypotheses in Hierarchical models and wondered: 1. Bridge sampling (BS) or Savage-Dickey density ratio (SDDR)? 2. If SDDR, which density estimation method? 3. How many MCMC samples? 4. What's the cost-benefit trade-off? This may be of interest to you.
Zurich Cognition Lab@cognition-zurich.bsky.social · 4mo agoHow to best estimate Bayes factors for standard hypothesis tests? We compared bridge sampling and the Savage-Dickey density ratio. The latter does a good job in most constellations typical for experiments in cognitive psychology.
my last PhD chapter is finally out 🪅🥳 (although not nicely formatted yet). it's very easy to introduce detection biases in otherwise appearance based tasks. A more digested thread coming later. w/ @cjungerius.bsky.social @smfleming.bsky.social @svangaal.bsky.social @fahrenfort.bsky.social

Are you at @assc28.bsky.social #ASSC28? On Wednesday I will present a poster on the causal relationship between choice history biases and catecholamines (noradrenaline / dopamine). With @donnerlab.bsky.social et al.
Happy to share the first project of my PhD at #ASSC28, on how voluntary strategies modulate the reading response and how this relates to suggestibility and metacognitive efficiency. Appreciation to my collaborators, and to @fahrenfort.bsky.social for his support and supervision on this project.
Are you at @assc28.bsky.social #ASSC28? Later, @stijnnuiten.bsky.social will present exciting cross-species results on the interaction between latent behavioral states, pupil-linked arousal, and V1 activity. Great collab w/ @psterzer.bsky.social @svangaal.bsky.social @pennartz.bsky.social et al.
I will be presenting some of my postdoc work during the very last session of the conference. would love to hear your feedback 📊📢 @assc28.bsky.social #ASSC28
a small suggestion for the catering @assc28.bsky.social, @ademertzi.bsky.social #ASSC28, it would be great if the people serving would know what vegan is or at least what the ingredients of the food are. thank you!

Very happy this is finally out 🎉. In this paper, we show that conf. reports are biased by a visual illusion, an asymmetrical base rate and a payoff scheme. Crucially, we show that only the visual illusion affects subj. experience, suggesting decision bias leaks onto confidence reports.
