New Preprint with @timbrady.bsky.social and @violastoermer.bsky.social : www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Here we show increased neural delay activity associated with remembering features as part of real-world objects. 1/
Hecht Shlaer and Pirenne's on how many photons are necessary for a subject to perceive light: doi.org/10.1085/jgp....
(Also fond of Lettvin et al.'s paper on the frog optic nerve, but particularly as beautiful writing more than a beautiful experiment doi.org/10.1109/jrpr...)
What are good examples of *beautiful* experiments in Psychology or Neuroscience? #neuroskyence #psychscisky
Not sure if you know already, but I JUST heard that this was archived unintentionally and is now back up! A small piece of good news, anyway.

We are currently seeking nominations for a new Editor-in-Chief at @psychonomicsociety.bsky.social journal, AP&P, whether it be you or a colleague you'd like to nominate! For details, see our announcement at www.psychonomic.org/page/2025app...
I was also plan to apply to this later this year...wild.
What are peoples' favorite fun facts to tell students in neuroscience/cognitive science? One of mine is how dolphins sleep one brain hemisphere at a time. I'm looking for more to break up lectures in content-heavy classes! #neuroskyence #cogsci
Hello world! We're excited to be on Bluesky after a social media hiatus. To kick things off, we're building a starter pack for attention researchers. Please suggest names here or via DM, and we'll add them! #AttentionResearchSky

Does the natural scenes database count? Roughly once a week, but for 40 weeks at 7T, so tons of data.

Tweet by Lewis Evans: Ask yourself: Could this meeting be a zoom? Could this zoom be a phone call? Could this phone call be an email? Could this email be a text? Could this text be unsent? Could we in silence retreat to the forest? Could we, by game trails & forgotten paths, vanish into the trees?
We're hiring a postdoc! Our lab is interested in understanding how visual perception and mental imagery relate to each other, both in the mind and the brain. We're looking for someone with fMRI experience to work on this topic. Please apply! subjectivity.sites.northeastern.edu/research/arc...
Hello Blueskyers,
I'll be recruiting a fully funded PhD student in the coming year, for the study of working memory and attention. If you have any students who are interested, you can ask them to contact me at bwyble@gmail.com
My department, Psychology at UC San Diego, just posted an assistant professor position focused on computational approaches to understanding behavior. Open area search, and more information can be found here: apol-recruit.ucsd.edu/JPF04049
I am looking for a new lab manager and SSNAP project coordinator. Please share this ad! #neuroskyence #science #philosophy www.imclab.org/lab-manager-...
Looking forward to seeing everyone @VSS. Come see what our lab has been up to over this past year:
Boston College is hiring a director for a shared Human Neuro Lab. IMO this is a dream job for someone who loves research and cog neuro methods but doesn't want to go the traditional tenure track route: bc.csod.com/ux/ats/caree...
Congrats Will!
Vision science peeps, help needed! My grad student has been trying to replicate *very basic* Posner cueing online... to no avail. We've tried several times with Prolific subjects; quadruple-checked our code, and nothing. Valid cues at variable CTOAs are still slower than invalid cues. Any clues?!
Ha! Florida in December does sound better than May...but I don't think the rooms are all booked, if you restrict the reservation to actual VSS dates I see some.
A row of letters gradually varying from a L shape to a T shape by repositioning the vertical line.
I've definitely found accuracy effects in search at short durations (~250ms displays at set size 8). You might also try playing around with target-distractor similarity to adjust difficulty, like using T-shaped Ls as distractors in T among L search.
