A new #OpenAccess review by Anne-Sofie Maerten (KU Leuven) and Derya Soydaner (Leiden University), in Art & Perception, explains the main deep neural network architectures, compares their strengths and limitations, and explores how #ArtificialIntelligence is reshaping #Art and #ComputerScience. 2/3

🎨 #AIGeneratedArt has evolved rapidly, from early experiments like #DeepDream to advanced systems such as #StableDiffusion and DALL·E 3. How do these models work and what makes them different? 🤖🖼️ 1/3 @derya-soydaner.bsky.social @unileiden.bsky.social

❗3x scholar-at-risk positions (2 post MSc, 1 postdoc) at Uni Trento (several departments incl. CIMeC)❗ 1 year + possibility of 1 year extension. Must hold asylum seeker / refuge or SAR status. Please contact me for more info. Please share!

Tired of copying results and tables from your coding environment to your writing environment? Time to give #Quarto a try! A great solution for all your #reproducible #reporting needs. Join @elinevg.bsky.social and I at the @ecvp.bsky.social workshops to learn more!

We just launched #GuesstheReplication (GutheR). It is a challenging game where you predict replicability based on the abstract and title of an original study. Play it now and beat my high score at lukasroeseler.github.io/GuessTheRepl... or use our free slides for teaching zenodo.org/records/1985...

📣The Laboratory of Biological Psychology is hiring! 📣 We are looking for a full-time lab tech to help us in the daily operation of the lab. Friendly & inclusive work environment guaranteed! Check here for more details: www.kuleuven.be/personeel/jo... ⏰Apply by May 27th.

Happy to be presenting our work on #image #compostition and its effect on #aesthetic #appreciation @iaea-jena2026.bsky.social this week! So grateful to the @iaea-aesthetics.bsky.social for granting me a student travel award to attend what will be an engaging and collaborative conference!

We are on the road to @iaea-jena2026.bsky.social and excited for a week of inspiration and exchange! Keep an eye out for our labs contributions by Johan Wagemans, @eleftheriapistolas.bsky.social, @chrislinden.bsky.social, @lisa-kossmann.bsky.social, @elinevg.bsky.social and Elisabeth Van der Hulst!

Getting ready for @iaea-jena2026.bsky.social? Come check out my latest work as a poster on Friday (#17, 10:30-11:30, Carl-Zeiss-Saal): Linking appreciation for order and complexity in natural images, art, and abstract patterns! Shoutout also to two phenomenal presentations by my collaborators ⏬

The GestaltReVision Lab spent the past week diving deep into our research projects, exploring connections between our interests, and learning from one another. Our annual retreat isn’t just an investment in scientific growth, it’s also a reminder that great research is built on strong teams.

We have made public #openscience materials from the Münster Center for Open Science, specifically flyers and cheatsheets on #OpenAccess, #OpenData, and #Preregistration. Flyers are already on Zenodo, Cheatsheets will follow: zenodo.org/communities/muecos/ and lukasroeseler.github.io/MueCOS-Infom...

Don’t forget #VSAC2025 in your end of year highlights - everything you need to help you reminisce now out in Art & Perception!

Wendel van der Sluis@wendelvandersluis.bsky.social · 8mo ago

The new Art & Perception issue with all VSAC2025 abstracts is out! Hosted in the stunning MRE Wiesbaden, VSAC brought 227 contributors, 20+ artists, and immersive art–science events together. Dive into the talks, posters & performances that made VSAC2025 unforgettable: brill.com/view/journal...

I finally have some new work to share - some thoughts on how we perceive style with a sprinkle of aesthetics, Fechner, and most importantly: labradors 🐕 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

How do we see style?

In a recent series of experiments, Boger and Firestone ask: How do we perceive style?’. Their findings suggest that style perception relies on basic p…

We are just as thrilled! Our PhD student @eleftheriapistolas.bsky.social received the Early Career Best Paper Prize for her paper published in @pec-ipe.bsky.social ⬇️

Eleftheria Pistolas@eleftheriapistolas.bsky.social · 10mo ago

I’m thrilled that our latest paper, “Wave after wave: The suggestibility of noise in the experience of multisensory hallucinations under multimodal Ganzfeld stimulation”, has just been published in i-Perception and received the Early Career Best Paper Prize! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

At @ecvp.bsky.social Demo Night, @lisa-kossmann.bsky.social and I held the OCTA-QIP challenge: use the OCTA toolbox to create the least balanced or most HOG complex stimulus as measured with the QIP machine of the Aesthetics Toolbox! Below we showcase some of the submissions for both contests!

PhD Candidate @chrislinden.bsky.social will give a talk about the impact of information on art perception through multiple museum studies and PhD Candidate @lisa-kossmann.bsky.social Koßmann will share results from an empirical study investigating the effect of image fidelity on aesthetic ratings.

#ECVP2025 In addition to yesterday's Illusion Night we would like to mention the contribution of @elinevg.bsky.social and @lisa-kossmann.bsky.social about Open-Source Toolboxes for aesthetics and perception.

Great first poster session at @ecvp.bsky.social! In case you missed me or want to chat more about #ImageFidelity and #Aesthetics or #QuantitativeImageProperties, please come find me during the breaks! #ECVP2025

Come find me at my #ECVP2025 poster to chat about image fidelity in the #WikiArt image dataset!

GestaltReVision@gestaltrevision.bsky.social · 12mo ago

📊 @lisa-kossmann.bsky.social will present her poster „Evaluating the WikiArt Dataset using Quantitative Image Properties, Ratings, and Art History“ in the first Poster Session on Monday at 10:00-11:30.

Come find @elinevg.bsky.social and myself at #ECVP2025 Demo Night to challenge your colleagues to a fun little game around visual complexity using the #octatoolbox and the #QIPMachine of the #AestheticsToolbox!

So inspired and motivated after attending my first #VSS2025 the annual conference of the @vssmtg.bsky.social! Thanks to everyone who stopped by my poster on Symmetry Detection and Figure-Ground Segmentation in Rich Images. Truly enjoyed meeting everyone and hearing about the amazing research you do!

Looking forward to co-hosting a workshop on @quarto.org alongside @elinevg.bsky.social on @kuleuvenuniversity.bsky.social‘s Open Science Day!
