Our detailed tests of high-speed OLED monitors for vision, eye-tracking, and EEG research are finally out in 𝐵𝑒ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑖𝑜𝑟 𝑅𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑐ℎ 𝑀𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑑𝑠. So why did it take 1.5 years to publish this? Because we discovered a new property of OLEDs that vision researchers should be aware of... [1]

Are you looking for a precise monitor for vision science, eye-tracking, or EEG? In a new preprint (w/ Arne Stein), we tested a new type of display with excellent performance in time-critical experiments: "High-speed" (240 Hz) OLED monitors. All details here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Science is good. We should fund it.

Are you interested in psychological experiments, but feel a little unsure about programming. Try OpenSesame. Not only has it a user-friendly GUI, it is also connected to SigmundAI, an AI assistant that can basically make the experiment for you! Super cool stuff by @cogsci.nl

SigmundAI.eu can now implement complete psychological experiments in #OpenSesame. From scratch based on verbal description. Astonishing how far #AI has come 😵‍💫 #psychology
