#CFHStudents, get in touch if you are interested in thesis topics using the shark tank foraging task 🦈🦈 (co-developed with @sauter.bsky.social), a dynamic version of the classic Maltese/ @icevislab.bsky.social conjunction foraging! #attention #learning #CFHThesisTopics

These poster sessions all have the same vibe... #visionscience #neuroskyence #psychscisky #iceland #sheep

This was only possible with the wonderful visual foraging dataset openly shared by @icevislab.bsky.social. (Please also check out their original JEP:G study!) Our observations here also broadly mirror the latest Shi et al. Nature paper from the Tsao lab. Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Contralateral delay activity as a marker of visual working memory capacity: a multi-site registered replication

I am so happy to have been a part of this + @antonlukashevich.bsky.social The study is actually immensely important IMO. So many studies have been designed under the assumption that the link between CDA and individual differences in memory is large and robust. We find that this is not the case. 1/N

Open tenure track the University of Akureyri, Iceland.

Árni Gunnar Ásgeirsson@arnig.bsky.social · 9mo ago

We're hiring! The University of Akureyri is seeking a specialist in psychology. Applicants from all areas of psychology are welcome to apply.

Question for my fellow vision researchers: anyone know of work where people looked at dynamic ensemble perception for lots of boxes on Zoom? Think "what's the average emotion of these people on a group call?"

Paper alert 💥 This project took considerable effort, great to see the first paper out! @bpitchford.bsky.social Hélène Devillez @heidasigurdar.bsky.social #dyslexia #visionscience #neuroskyence Free to read until November 2nd: authors.elsevier.com/c/1lmUB6TBG5...

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.

Did you know @icevislab.bsky.social have curated and shared a list of Animal visual stimuli? Love finding lists like this when searching for visual stimuli for experiments 🦜 🐅 🐕 Thank you for sharing! #reproducible #science #openscience #replication #open
