I am proud to share my latest publication co-authored with Dr. Melchi Michel, titled "Transsaccadic integration of visual information is predictive, attention-based, and spatially precise". Below is a short summary thread. 1/7

[Journal of Vision @ARVOJOV]

New in our special issue From Peripheral to Transsaccadic and Foveal Perception: "Transsaccadic integration of visual information is predictive, attention-based, and spatially precise," by @JamesWilmott3 and Dr. Melchi Michel

What’s really cool about this one is you can see the role that retinal slip plays in making this effect more and less obvious when scrolling through 😄

awesome opportunity!

@emgonz0 Where is ShopRite?

New preprint out! We demonstrate that uncertainty aversion is associated with more expanded semantic representations, reduced semantic interference and generalization. Thanks to @DaantjedeBruin, and the thorough guidance of @orielf and @apaxon!

A big thank you goes out to my colleagues at Meta, without whom this study and publication would not be possible. And a special thank you to our study participants!

New article: 'Perceptibility of jitter in augmented reality head-mounted displays', published and presented at the 2022 IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR), with Kevin Rio, @tsmurdison and Ian Erkelens. Thread:

2) It may be possible to relax jitter tolerances slightly at closer viewing distances and/or in brighter ambient lighting conditions, so these along with other content and environmental variables should be considered when optimizing efficient world locked rendering systems.

Excited to share that Fall 2023, I'm starting a lab in the CS department @FollowStevens!

Even MORE excited to share that I'm recruiting Ph.D. students interested in computational Cog Sci, RL, and/or HCI 🧠💭🤖!

The official deadline is *Feb 1st*...

[Andrew Westbrook @j_a_westbrook]

I'm also hiring! Looking for post-docs and RA's who would be interested to use TMS-EEG, pharmacology, fMRI, and computational modeling of behavior to investigate decision-making, cognitive effort, and working memory. Feel free to contact me if you'd like to join the team!

@JasonRubinstein @Apple @SKERIResearch @RutgersCCS Congratulations Jason!

Types of early life adversity impact the predictability of maternal care in mice. Specifically, limited bedding and nesting made maternal care less consistent & predictable.

This has potential implications for expectations about environmental predictability across the lifespan.

@MartinRolfs To control: pupil size often correlates with arousal, so one can include pupil size as a covariate in statistical analyses. Of course, other factors modulate pupil size (luminance), so choose the stimulus carefully. An example of the idea from our work: https://t.co/kF19EnKdBO

New fMRI project, would love feedback!

[ScienceInsider @ScienceInsider]

BREAKING: White House issues new policy that will require, by 2026, all federally-funded research results to be freely available to public without delay, ending longstanding ability of journals to paywall results for up to 1 year. Coverage coming on @ScienceInsider.

🔖 New paper out in @ARVOJOV: We argue that test-retest reliability of perception/attention tasks is crucial when assessing whether a particular measure is suitable for exploring individual differences. ❤️ my team: @kmbirchhurst @drcpennington @HedgeCraig
