🚨📄 Now out in SfN Journals #eNeuro: work with Haydée García-Lázaro Haydée GL (She/her) exploring the neural dynamics of reverberant perception! For details, see our thread from the preprint:👇🏼 x.com/SKERIResearch/…

What happened when MIT stopped paying Elsevier? Not much except they are saving a lot of money. "MIT is interested in collaborating with other libraries to reinvest these funds in community-controlled open publishing initiatives..." sparcopen.org/our-work/big-d…

Please RT: I am looking to hire a research assistant to help recruit, schedule and run human participants in auditory perception experiments at MIT. Preferably full-time, but could be part-time. Ideal for someone looking to get more research experience in advance of grad school.

Talking optimal signal properties for assisted #echolocation at UC Berkeley's #BAVRD conference, where our lab was among the Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute contingent. TLDR: in biomimetic sonar as in life, slowing down clears things up 🔊, in this case for object echo discrimination!

Very cool demo of reverberant vs anechoic rooms

In a recent Freakonomics podcast, we heard about the economics of Botox and it's inventor and SKERI founder Alan Scott freakonomics.com/podcast/botox/

Visual illusions enter the political arena in this allusion to the scramble of 3D Magic Eye field emerging into a clear 3D image. The Magic Eye concept was developed Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute by Dr. Christopher Tyler and is still providing popular and scientific insights today. 🗳️

Centre for Brain and Mind (Western Centre for Brain and Mind) coffee talks are on a roll! Last week we heard about the esteemed Emiko Muraki's research on object imagery and aphantasia. And today we have Santani Teng talking about Braille letter perception.

What a great visit to Western Centre for Brain and Mind to share recent and ongoing #braille research from our lab and @marleenhaupt! Thanks to Yalda Mohsenzadeh and everyone in the CNAI lab for being such great hosts. 🙏🏼🧠

I learned so much from @UwOptometry students and faculty, from recalibrating athletic classification to motor-amblyopia interactions in children to ocular somatosensation to chicken tetrachromacy. And the best pretzels I've had outside of Germany! 🥨

👻 Happy Halloween from Smith-Kettlewell Research Institute! 🎃 Here's a throwback to the S̶K̶E̶R̶I̶ scary-themed tea gathering hosted by the Teng Lab (Santani Teng )! Decor included a sodium vapor lamp casting a distinct yellow wavelength, making the room oddly colorless!

#eNeuro: Findings from García-Lázaro and Teng show that the brain distinguishes between real and synthetic reverberation. This provides insights for enhancing realism in immersive virtual reality, music, and film production and using reverberation to guide navigation for blind
