If you're fascinated by visual illusions, you have to check out Akiyoshi Kitaoka's illusion pages! As a Professor of Psychology at Ritsumeikan University in Japan, Kitaoka has been studying optical illusions and 3D effects for years. Just a heads up, though, some of these illusions might make you feel dizzy or sick! #AkiyoshiKitaoka #opticalillusions #visualperception https://www.ritsumei.ac.jp/~akitaoka/index-e.html

Wow. In 24 hours, we have gone from zero to 4.4K followers, that‘s crazy. Thank you for a warm welcome and excellent tips. I gave up on replying to all of you after someone pointed out that I was spamming thousands of people – sorry! Also, please do not read too much into it if we do not respond or take a long time responding, we are a busy bunch and may simply sometimes miss your post or messages. Mastodon allows long posts so I am taking advantage of that, so here are a few things that you may – or may not – want to know.

—Who are we?—

Research in the Icelandic Vision Lab (https://visionlab.is) focuses on all things visual, with a major emphasis on higher-level or “cognitive” aspects of visual perception. It is co-run by five Principal Investigators: Árni Gunnar Ásgeirsson, Sabrina Hansmann-Roth, Árni Kristjánsson, Inga María Ólafsdóttir, and Heida Maria Sigurdardottir. Here on Mastodon, you will most likely be interacting with me – Heida – but other PIs and potentially other lab members (https://visionlab.is/people) may occasionally also post here as this is a joint account. If our posts are stupid and/or annoying, I will however almost surely be responsible!

—What do we do?—

Current and/or past research at IVL has looked at several visual processes, including #VisualAttention , #EyeMovements , #ObjectPerception , #FacePerception , #VisualMemory , #VisualStatistics , and the role of #Experience / #Learning effects in #VisualPerception . Some of our work concerns the basic properties of the workings of the typical adult #VisualSystem . We have also studied the perceptual capabilities of several unique populations, including children, synesthetes, professional athletes, people with anxiety disorders, blind people, and dyslexic readers. We focus on #BehavioralMethods but also make use of other techniques including #Electrophysiology , #EyeTracking , and #DeepNeuralNetworks

—Why are we here?—

We are mostly here to interact with other researchers in our field, including graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and principal investigators. This means that our activity on Mastodon may sometimes be quite niche. This can include boosting posts from others on research papers, conferences, or work opportunities in specialized fields, partaking in discussions on debates in our field, data analysis, or the scientific review process. Science communication and outreach are hugely important, but this account is not about that as such. So we take no offence if that means that you will unfollow us, that is perfectly alright :)

—But will there still sometimes be stupid memes as promised?—

Yes. They may or may not be funny, but they will be stupid.

Hi folks! 👋

I am Ranjith (he/him), a #CognitiveScience #researcher 🧠

Currently designing #experiments based on #behavioral #GameTheory at the #DataScience and #AI Lab, Department of #ComputerScience, New York University AbuDhabi #NYUAbuDhabi #NYUAD #UAE (remote contract).

Previously worked as a #Research Associate at the Department of #Neurology, National Institute of #MentalHealth and Neurosciences, #Neuroscience #NIMHANS #Bengaluru, where I investigated the role of #Bilingualism and #Education in delaying the onset of #dementia.

Prior to that, I was in the #Language and #Cognition Lab at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, #IITKanpur #IITK #UttarPradesh, where I worked in the areas of #VisualPerception #Psycholinguistics (Visual Word Recognition).

I hold a Master's degree in Cognitive Science from the Centre of #Behavioural and Cognitive Sciences #CBCS, University of #Allahabad, #Prayagraj and a Bachelor's degree in #Electronics and #Communication #Engineering from Anna #University, Chennai, India.

Before receiving my master's degree, I was in the third cohort of International #Fellowship in #Health #Technology #Assessment #HTA at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, #IITMadras #IITM #Chennai.

I love #data, #theory, and bringing both together. I am interested in raising awareness of dementia. I also like to engage in #SystemsThinking and #DesignThinking to better understand #WickedProblems.

I am passionate about #equity, #diversity, #inclusion, and #SocialJustice.

I am #Indian 🇮🇳 by nationality, my family is from #TamilNadu, #India and I grew up speaking #Tamil at home. I am comfortable speaking in 🗣️ #Malayalam and #Hindi.

Excited to be here! ❤️
Nice to e-meet you everyone 👋

#Introduction

Reading "Eye Movements and Vision" by Yarbus and am fascinated by the amount of techniques these early researchers had to master in order to conduct their experiments. What are some modern examples of people tinkering in their labs and creating unique experimental apparatus?

#CognitivePsychology #Vision #VisualPerception #EyeTracking @psychology @cogneurophys @cognition

@tenzingContrib I love collaborating on studies about human visual perception and attention (new #OA book: https://tracking.whatanimalssee.com/intro.html#summary). The video shows an illusion discovered by Ryo Nakayama and I - the objects disappear when they are aligned with the vertical, but most people perceive them to disappear further on. #perception #vision #attention #visualperception @cognition #introduction

Hello everyone, here's my not so original #introduction:

I'm Aurelio, I am a research fellow in #ExperimentalPsychology and #CognitiveNeuroscience @YorkPsychology.

My research is mainly focused on: #VisionScience, #VisualPerception, #VisualCognition, #TimePerception, #Metacognition and #IndividualDifferences.

Preferred #Methods: #Psychophysics, #MEG, #EEG #pupillometry and #Computational Modeling.

I am particularly interested in studying temporal deficits in #clinical populations.
