Get ready to experience the fantastic and funny Chenxiao Guan speak about her latest work on the perception of possibility! Also ft. Alon Hafri and David Schwitzgebel (our undergraduate intern from Vassar College). See you in Princeton at the year’s best conference!!

Do we see not only what objects *actually* look like now, but also what they could *possibly* look like at some other time? Chenxiao Guan says YES in this month’s issue of JEP:General! See here: psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi… — and with no paywall here: perception.jhu.edu/files/PDFs/20_…

How can we know when machines *do* perceive a stimulus in ways that humans *do not*? Johns Hopkins University Undergrad Michael Lepori & I make an empirical and theoretical case that human-machine comparisons should use task designs from human psychophysics research arxiv.org/abs/2003.12362

Dissertation proposal completed!💡Had a really fun discussion!! Thanks for my wonderful committee! Exciting to move on now!!💥

Objects don’t just move, fall, and bounce—they also transform, as when logs burn or ice cubes melt. In a new paper Association for Psychological Science, we (tal boger & Chaz Firestone) explore mental representation of state-changes—and find that your mind 'melts ice' in memory! psyarxiv.com/6hj8a

How I start my final year of grad school: try to make my personal page, and try to add something I think it's funny.😀

Super enjoy working with these wonderful people! 💗

Thanks for the invite! Really enjoyed the discussion!
