We interviewed Drs. Dudarev and Kingstone (from @BARlabUBC) to learn more about their work on measures of gaze. Read the article for more information about their research.

New publication in JEP:HPP @APA_Journals with @konigpeter & 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. @BARlabUBC https://t.co/6WJQiHAXzo

Check out a new preprint from our lab https://t.co/IJHyokGIYc 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!

Study by Dr. Alan Kingstone (@BARlabUBC) & Dr. Rob Jenkins (@UniOfYork) found that when an image of a person appears within a photo, that individual is perceived as being less real and having “less mind." https://t.co/fuhBATkTGV

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

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

[Brain, Attention, and Reality Lab @BARlabUBC]

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

[Tom Foulsham @TomFoulsh]

Some great PhD students are organising a small virtual conference on vision and eye movements. So if you are interested in those kinds of things, you should come! @UV_2021. Students/early career people especially.

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. https://t.co/jG9krhHmJk

New publication in Acta Psychologica with Veera Ruuskanen, Alan Kingstone, & @cogscinl. We find that pupil size is sensitive to a rise in coordination effort associated with dividing labor in a joint task.
