Our study on size illusions & different tasks for measuring them is now officially published in Vision Research: Shows different illusions likely involve separable processes & so do different tasks (adjustment vs 2AFC): doi.org/10.1016/j.vi... #visionscience #neuroskyence #psychscisky

Just made the mistake of erring back onto TwiXer & ended up in this rabbit hole of the original comments on the Monty Hall problem. Although in a way it is reassuring to see that discourse was evidently already this bad long before social media existed: 🤦🤦‍♂️😳 #StatsSky web.archive.org/web/20120429...

Here is a new, shorter version of our mental imagery survey. Please if you can spare a few minutes we would appreciate if you could take this & pass it along to others who might be interested. Thanks! tstbl.co/763-452 #neuroskyence #visionscience #psychscisky #aphantasia #mentalimagery

Psilocybin, the active compound in magic mushrooms, alters perception and induces hallucinations. In this preprint, we show through visual illusions, fMRI and modeling that psilocybin affects contextual computations, a potentially general mechanism of psychedelics. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

All right, this is the masterpiece after preregistering N=12 based on evidence threshold & then being asked to run 12 more observers. But fastest acceptance ever (a few hours). Soon to be out in Vision Research but final preprint available here: doi.org/10.1101/2024... #VisionScience #Neuroscience

It is the end of an era at Cortex. As the irreplaceable Sergio Della Sala has now stepped down as EiC, Rob McIntosh is taking over the reign, with a wholly reorganised editorial board. I'll try to do my best to support this new chapter: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
