My latest with @McLiu98 and @talalrahwan out in @PNAS today! Non-white scientists appear on fewer editorial boards, spend more time under review, and receive fewer citations. #inequality #scienceofscience #diversity #DEI #NYUAD https://t.co/j7w3Mb566I

It was great working together on this interesting project!

Exciting paper on alpha frequency by Poppy Sharp & Clayton Hickey @TheCHBH : Alpha-band oscillations for an attended location are faster when stimuli need to be segregated, but slower in expectation of the need for integration. https://t.co/F5sqLWBpz7

[Melcher Perception & Active Cognition Lab @MelcherAd]

Often asked at talks/posters and by reviewers: what is the effect of visibility on preview effects? Here is the answer in a new paper with @xiaoyiliu07, C. Huber-Huber:
The Trans-Saccadic Extrafoveal Preview Effect is Modulated by Object Visibility https://t.co/juUWbUiMoc

[Melcher Perception & Active Cognition Lab @MelcherAd]

Postdoc or predoc position available for an interdisciplinary project on the role of prediction and parafoveal previews across eye movements in the rapid recognition of Arabic words, faces and other visual stimuli.
