Just in time for the holidays β€”exciting news!
Our latest validation study is out in the Journal of Translational Medicine:
"Novel color vision assessment tool: AIM color detection and discrimination" by Jingyi He, @janskerswetat.bsky.social , & Peter Bex.

@arvoinfo.bsky.social login website is down

Because of a few thousand people uploading and tweaking abstracts ?

I wonder whether there are any exceptions.

@sfn.org I will be at SfN β€˜25 and will present the first data using our recently developed adaptive Object discrimination tasks FInD Object and PeDS.

Agreed, I appreciate the conversation.

If I compare AI from 2020 vs now, that is the direction. There is too much incentive to build such AI, and that’s why publishers will be probably the first who will jump on this ship.

Ethically , if an AI is better than an expert human reviewer, it will be no longer defensible to use human

It’s the utopian take on where AI can lead: it will be better in reviewing than human reviewers.

Fact is, AI capabilities improvement is a one way street. Just a matter of time when the first journal will rely on it only.

With the rise of AI, I’m not sure whether the knowledge communication through journals will or should survive. I speculate that Journals will be platforms for AIs, becoming middleman between scientists and AI providers. At some point, they can be skipped all together.

The irony is of course that I have and will continue to publish in special journals, still it doesn’t mean that we still need those.

Ok, I agree that we will probably lose those editorials.

How does the community fragment when publishing pdfs in different servers reviewed by experts? (Probably soon by AI)

β€˜Loss of focus’ means what?

If you get very close you can see the boundary of S cone distribution; one big circle would do the same trick

Question for the scientific reviewers: when reviewing a paper, which is pre-registered, do you compare contents pre vs actual submission? Does it or should it even matter in your judgement?

07.09.2025 17:38 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

When I read a pdf, I look how it has been published (transparency of publication process), who wrote it, and the content. The label of the pdf’s publisher is important for brand equity reasons and scale or reach.

So the argument for specialised journals is: editors and reviewers have more shared domain expertise and that is better than having one external (editor)

β€˜Flashy stories β€˜occur more in general journals (I highly doubt the truth of the claim) therefore specialised journals are needed?

15.08.2025 15:41 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Yes, my statement was referring to a wider domain knowledge gap in general vs special journals.

15.08.2025 15:25 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

* meaning: domain knowledge gap between editors and reviewers

Ok, the situation in every general journal. Why is that important or good?

I like that too, happens to me here daily and whenever I’m on other platforms, passively. On researchgate it happens when I’m searching for something, again with the advantage to not being constrained by a journal. Btw,
Ask your AI to provide you an interested latest list of research

14.08.2025 21:05 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

For active search google scholar and AI models are the way.

I find the social media science bots way better in doing what you described as they are not constrained by journal. Let’s call that passive research exposure. Really the only reason why I’m here and on ResearchGate. Plus I can chat with you directly.
