🚨New paper🚨 In 2017 the major Dutch science funder (NWO Nieuws) initiated a grant scheme for replicating cornerstone studies. Lead by the Replication in Action team, we (laureates from different disciplines) share our recommendations & experiences conducting these replications.

New preprint out! The number of things (or: numerosity) you perceive, is affected by the number of things you were previously exposed to. In this fMRI study led by @zlyhhh3 we show that such numerosity adaptation may originate in early visual areas that respond to image contrast.

New paper out in Psych Science, spearheaded by the awesome Luzi Xu, titled "statistical learning facilitates access to awareness". See the cited tweet below for a short thread, and read the linked press release for a laymen's summary (in Dutch): uu.nl/nieuws/wat-je-…

I couldn't envision a better place to do a PhD! I had a great time here, and still am. They're looking for a PhD candidate who will use EEG & behavioral methods to study visual attention. Feel free to reach out & ask me about the environment/team (I'm not involved in the project)

New article w/ Kabir Arora! A recent paper (Freek van Ede Kia Nobre) found a neural correlate of sampling from memory representations to guide decision-making. We discuss the findings and provide future steps. Now in Journal of Neuroscience jneurosci.org/content/44/39/…

🚨 New preprint out 🚨 led by superstar Lu-Chun Yeh. To estimate the size of objects in the world, we need to combine the object's retinal size with pictorial distance cues from the surrounding scene. Using EEG and decoding methods we show how this process unfolds over time.

🚨Very proud to see the awesome Dan kicking some academic ass in the first preprint of her PhD! Using 3 experimental tasks, we show that humans can flexibly control to what extent working memory content influences early visual processing, with next-to-no loss in recall precision.

Sushrut is one of these few people who will single-handedly crank up the IQ of your department. Any UK-basee lab or institute looking for a fun and super smart person working on the intersection of computational neuroscience and machine learning, do reach out to him!

🧵Join us for a short tour of how a large-scale MEG dataset collected during active vision made us question it all. New work with Carmen Amme Philip Sulewski Eelke Spaak 🦋 @EelkeSpaak.bsky.social Martin Hebart Peter König biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

📢 Onderwijs en onderzoek zijn cruciaal om de grote vraagstukken van onze tijd aan te pakken! Toch bezuinigt het kabinet-Schoof €1 miljard op hoger onderwijs en wetenschap. Wij komen in actie tegen deze bezuinigingen! Teken jij ook de petitie? campagnes.degoedezaak.org/campaigns/stop…

It seems like most of academia is moving to the alternative 🦋 (BlueSky). Follow me there: @suryagayet.bsky.social See you on the other side :-)

🚨 New paper 🚨 from cap-lab.net, just accepted in Journal of Experimental Psychology: General. In the 1st paper from his PhD, Yichen Yuan (w Nathan Van der Stoep) investigated how we combine hearing & vision to perceive & predict the location of objects. TLDR & preprint:

New paper out by the awesome Luzi Xu! We asked whether mere exposure to (currently disregarded) visual objects, expedites encoding of these objects into memory when we select them for action later. Our data show that we passively build up memory traces for (non-selected) items.

Dance for me, algorithm, dance for me #donthatetheplayerhatethegame

How fast do we extract distance cues from scenes 🛤️🏞️🏜️ and integrate them with retinal size 🧸🐻 to infer real object size? Our new EEG study in Cortex has answers! w/Kaiser Lab Surya Gayet Marius Peelen Check it out: doi.org/10.1016/j.cort…
