Hey Neurotweeps! If you're into dorsomedial striatal function and/or decision making, you may dig our latest with Jackson Schumacher , Mieke van Holstein and @vaish414 in Neurobio Learning and Memory. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Congratulations to Dr. Christiane Hoppmann, @DrLoriBrotto, Dr. Alan Kingstone, Natalie Brown, Dr. Wolfgang Linden and collaborators—and all inaugural UBC Health HIFI award recipients!

We're launching a Diversity Mentorship Program to prepare and mentor undergraduate students from diverse, under-resourced, underrepresented, and/or marginalized backgrounds for graduate admissions in psychology. bit.ly/UBCPsychMentor

New publication in Acta Psychologica with Veera Ruuskanen, Alan Kingstone, & Cogsci.nl. We find that pupil size is sensitive to a rise in coordination effort associated with dividing labor in a joint task. Brain, Attention, and Reality Lab sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Great initiative that we’re really looking forward to!! @UV_2021

I’m excited to announce that 2 first-author manuscripts were published yesterday in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy and PLOS One Thank you to my supervisors @DrLoriBrotto and Alan Kingstone at Brain, Attention, and Reality Lab for your guidance throughout.

Congratulations to Oliver Jacobs, a PhD student in our Brain, Attention, and Reality Lab, and to all of the #Killam recipients!

New conference paper at #CogSci2021: "In the blink of an eye? Evidence for a reduced attentional blink for eyes". If you are attending the conference, feel free to join today's virtual poster session (start: 17:20 CEST). Find us at poster board 2-C-59! escholarship.org/content/qt22m7…

Just finished day 2 of Neuromatch Deep Learning and it is an awesome experience! So far, I’ve especially enjoyed Kording Lab 🦖’s compelling intro to tensors + Andrew Saxe’s clear, engaging discussion of gradient descent! Also lucky to have such an amazing pod + TAs for the project!

Study by Dr. Alan Kingstone (Brain, Attention, and Reality Lab) & Dr. Rob Jenkins (University of York) found that when an image of a person appears within a photo, that individual is perceived as being less real and having “less mind." bit.ly/2VCPpS9

Check out a new preprint from our lab psyarxiv.com/s7q9u where we show that spatiotemporal overlap of eye and head movements when recognizing 360 scenes in VR improves memory performance. Critically, adding in head movement information improves performance prediction!

NEW APPROACHES TO 3D VISION 1st-4th November 2021 Pleased to announce this Royal Society (The Royal Society) online meeting on 3D vision bringing together researchers in computer vision, animal vision, and human vision. Website: royalsociety.org/science-events… Please Retweet!

New publication in JEP:HPP APA Journals with Peter König & Alan Kingstone: We found that humans use external reference points to divide task labor. Also, they are willing to forgo an individual bias (& benefit) to boost group performance. Brain, Attention, and Reality Lab psycnet.apa.org/record/2021-98…
