When fixing your gaze on the grey dot, how many red dots do you see within the green frames? Many people consistently see two, despite only ever being shown one.

Our paper about the new 'Split-Stimulus Effect' is out now in JoV [1/2]

Joe Melling et al. investigate a novel visual illusion in which moving frames cause a single flashed stimulus to be perceived in two locations simultaneously, https://t.co/A26z8wvLL4.

Does meditation just happen to address multiple types of suffering, or does its broad effectiveness hint at something deeper about the mechanisms of suffering or well-being itself?

We address this in our new preprint! @RubenLaukkonen

@laurenposting Haha I know because I have done that exact same thing myself 😎

See this thread for a short summary of the findings and implications [2/2]

Excited to share my first preprint: a novel visual illusion discovered by @renrutmailliw and @HinzeHogendoorn, which we call the "Split-Stimulus Effect", in which a single flashed stimulus is perceived to be in two different locations simultaneously. [1/5]

Happy to share the first in-depth analysis investigating how cardiac dynamics & brain-heart communication change with spontaneous fluctuations in arousal & attention -- in collaboration with the great @hohwy (@Monash_M3CS ) & @thandrillon (@ParisBrainInst) !

[William Turner @renrutmailliw]

Happy to share this brief preprint w/ Oh-Sang Kwon, Minwoo Kim & @HinzeHogendoorn. We suggest that the brain may be able to rapidly re-weight its inputs and predictions during perceptual inference, explaining the puzzling phenomenon of 'position resets'.

@CSPeirceSpeaks What is the source of this, sorry?

[Joe Melling @joemelling]

Thanks to Will and Hinze for being great supervisors, and to the rest of the Timing Lab for their support, particularly @CottierTimothy for helping set up the testing room itself and @brainboyben for code troubleshooting #BenWasHere

This illusion has a number of unique properties when compared to other motion illusions, but we also argue, using a predictive processing framework, that it has important implications for how the brain constructs visual experience in space and time more generally.

[Minds Matter Podcast @mindsmatterpod]

New episode! ✨ This week we spoke to @anilkseth about all things #consciousness ! From controlled hallucinations to implications for #AI Anil shares with us his ideas on where the field is currently at 🤔🧠

[William Turner @renrutmailliw]

Thrilled to see this is out today! A truly Herculean effort from @CottierTimothy with 400+ hrs (!!) of in person data collection and 8 (!) different tasks. And some interesting, unexpected (in a good way!) results.
