Why do violated expectations sometimes change & sometimes persist? Comparing 7 theoretical models: Lead by (twitterless) Martin Pinquart, together w/ Dominik Endres, Sarah Teige-Mocigemba & Alexander Schütz, all from RTG Breaking Expectations. Free access until March 27. authors.elsevier.com/c/1cXEX_NzVjCZ…

René Magritte's paintings make the familiar strange, posing questions about the nature of representation and reality. Try this! Combine two different landscapes into one artwork (e.g. snow/desert or night/day). Share your Surrealist landscape with us below! #TeachingTuesday

Second edition of The Skin of Things from Rijksmuseum👏

Very interesting 3rd day by TSoT-II. Beautiful talks by Viola Eickmeier, Lisa Wiersma, Johanna Delanoy, Indra Kneepkens and Maša Tomšič.

Cool pic of Cajal in his lab in Valencia🔬

You are all invited to: TEX2021 - Bringing together Predictive Processes and Statistical Learning Free online symposium with some of the leading figures in these fields 1st and 2nd of July, starting 15:00 (CET) Registration: sissa-it.zoom.us/webinar/regist… Please retweet and share!!

You are more likely to see shape changes across your saccades when objects become more circular! Check out our paper to find out more! authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S00…

One of my favorites: a tiny (1.5 mm) swirl of unmixed paints in the cuff of Lieutenant Willem van Ruytenburch: hyper-resolution.org/view.html?mode…

Wow! So cool!

New paper! 🎉 We (me, Alexander Schütz & @CasLudwig) show that humans retain metaknowledge of how much information they aquire across sequences of saccades, and they can also judge the "perceptual utility" of objects for a task. Thread follows... 1/n nature.com/articles/s4159…

A lot goes into how the visual system makes saccades. Get an updated view at #VSS2022 symposium How we make saccades: selection, control, integration Emma E.M. Stewart Bianca Baltaretu, PhD More info: bit.ly/VSS2022SYM Register: bit.ly/VSS2022REG

Hi #VSS2022 attendees, I am looking for a female with whom I can share a room during the conference. If you are also looking for a roommate to reduce accomodation costs or know someone, I would be very happy to hear from you. #VSSMtg #TWResorts

Gooodd job girls👏🏼 Emma E.M. Stewart Bianca Baltaretu, PhD We heard a lot of interesting stuff on saccades today at VSS☺️🏝👀#VSS2022

New paper in Current Biology! Here we (Alex Goettker & I) show that sequential effects for oculomotor behaviour are mediated by retinal velocity errors, ignoring spatial context. 🚗👀 doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.…

What a great retreat with PhD students and PIs of our research training group on breaking expectations RTG Breaking Expectations First real get-together since pandemic- way better than expected!

I’m really pleased to announce the call for our Journal of Vision JoV special issue on, “Uncertainty in sensory processing and action control”! Submissions now being accepted until March 31, 2024. Please feel free to share and RT. arvojournals.org/DocumentLibrar…

That’s a wrap on our workshop on Uncertainty in Sensory Processing and Action Control! So many fascinating and inspiring talks from our amazing speakers, including Sabrina Hansmann-Roth Matteo Lisi Thérèse Collins @theresecollins.bsky.social @ookenfooken Anne Urai - @neuromatch.social/@anneurai @BalsdonTarryn Ulrik R.
