A phone in a basket looks very different from a knife in a cup. Would you ever confuse them? In a new paper @ Open Mind, Chaz Firestone Mick Bonner Barbara Landau and I show that you would — with implications for the relation between language & vision. osf.io/preprints/psya…

I'm soon going to be looking for a senior postdoc to join my lab who is interested in transitioning to independence and in building their own group, with a strong background in vision science, cognitive computational neuroscience or visual neuroscience. Please RT 1/3

The Epstein Lab Penn is looking for new postdocs!!! NIH funded project to investigate spatial and nonspatial cognitive maps in humans. Collaboration with Nora Newcombe. More info at the link (please RT): psych.upenn.edu/epsteinlab/ann…

Our review on scene perception is now freely available in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Neuroscience!

doi.org/10.1093/acrefo…

We discuss object-, space- and affordance-based scene representations and behavioral, fMRI and M/EEG evidence for each in the human brain!

Now available online at Current Biology

The website for the tutorial associated with Mick Bonner and Florentin Guth's keynote is available at bonnerlab.github.io/ccn-tutorial/ #CCN2023

Context is all you need. A new computational model predicts intuitive judgments of object similarity without seeing the objects themselves—it only sees the contexts in which the objects are typically encountered Elsevier Psychology

We know that our minds are capacity-limited, but what types of information actually limit our capacities? In a new paper at Open Mind, Devanshi Trivedi and I examined how and whether visual and semantic information influenced scene boundary memories. 1/

I am looking for two postdocs to join us at Giessen University Universität Gießen, in collab. with the Max Planck Institute MPI für Kognitions- & Neurowissenschaften in Leipzig, funded by European Research Council (ERC) & ProLOEWE. We have exciting projects lined up but also offer a lot of freedom with implementing own ideas!👇 pls RT!

Very excited about giving this Keynote & Tutorial at #CCN2023 !

New preprint on an intriguing visual illusion of numerosity, with Mick Bonner Nick DeWind and Liz Brannon! Coherence derived from natural statistics of object co-occurrence increases our perceived number via low-level visual processing stages.
