Today we introduce an ML-generated sensory map that relates thousands of molecules and their perceived odors, enabling the prediction of odors from unseen molecules and providing a potential tool to address global health issues like insect-borne disease. goo.gle/3TOZVPZ

I'm thrilled that THINGS-data is now online! We provide 3 massive datasets of fMRI, MEG, & behavior in response to up to 1854 objects and >22k images. We hope this will allow studying objects in vision, memory & language with unique semantic breadth! Link: doi.org/10.25452/figsh…

I’m so excited to finally see THINGS-data released! Working on this fMRI dataset was an awesome challenge for me and motivated me to learn a ton. So many thanks to Martin Hebart , Chris Baker , @lina_teichmann and everyone involved for bringing me on board! 1/n

Excited to have this one out with Thomas A Carlson and Genevieve Quek

#facepareidolia happens! Our lab studies the behavioural, physiological and neural correlates of face pareidolia - thus we are always looking for new examples. If you are willing to share, please send examples of face pareidolia that you photograph to Jess Taubert - email in bio

Here we examine the recognisable emotional information in a large set of “wild” facial behaviours. Very proud of Houqiu Long and 🧠@nataliepeluso.bsky.soci for leading this project. And thankful for the opportunity to work with Shruti Japee Chris Baker nature.com/articles/s4159…

Amidst the sensory overload around us, the brain takes as many shortcuts as possible to process information. In our latest podcast, QBI researcher Dr Margaret Moore discusses the fascinating and dynamic process of paying attention. Listen here: 🔗bit.ly/406RykC

CONGRATS to Sophia Shatek for winning the Best Student Poster Australasian Society for Experimental Psychology!!! The Ducks of the EPC2023 Posters! Making USYD Psychology proud! Special mention to Tabea-Maria Haase, representing the psychophysicists!

Excited about our new preprint! I especially love the perceptual similarity results from the triplet odd-one-out task ⬇️

Our new preprint on imagery characteristics across the senses! Visual imagery has better spatial features while auditory imagery has better temporal properties and more fidelity overall. Another great one led by Alexander Sulfaro (Alex)

Here is our #VSS2023 poster probing changes in functional networks across direct and observed social interactions. Much credit needs to be given to Shruti Japee and Dr. Eliza Bliss-Moreau but I’ll take credit for the colour choices!

PhD scholarship available to work with me from 2024 in collab with Mac Shine & Ben Fulcher on complex networks models of information flows inferred from brain imaging data, using transfer entropy! Covers tuition fees & stipend for 3.5 yrs. Join us at @SydneyUni Engineering Sydney Uni!

1/3 Which is better: visual or auditory mental imagery? We surveyed #mentalimagery properties across modalities, incl. its ease, duration, consistency & where imagined sounds/images are perceived in space (pic) Now published: doi.org/10.1016/j.conc… w/Amanda Robinson Thomas A Carlson

I am very pleased to announce that @lina_teichmann is visiting UQPsych this week and will be presenting her latest scientific discoveries in a special talk tomorrow at 10AM. Please join us!
