📢 📢 New work out in @ARVOJOV from @viscog postdoc @_drdina_ !

Is there a serial bottleneck in visual object recognition? 🤔

Check out this beautiful figure for a sneak peek.. And check out the paper (or Dr. Dina's summary below) for the answer!

[Dina Popovkina, PhD @_drdina_]

Hot off the presses - my first postdoc paper @viscog! "Is there a serial bottleneck in visual object recognition?" Popovkina, Palmer, Moore, and Boynton: https://t.co/C0UCsPZn1H (open access). Brief summary thread: (1/7)

[Optica Fall Vision Meeting @Optica_FVM]

SEATTLE: We're looking for volunteers to help out at Fall Vision Meeting this year. Maybe that's you?

No specific expertise is necessary and you don't have to be a vision scientist yourself! (just ok being around a bunch of dorky vision scientists)

The 2023 Fall Vision Meeting program is out! ⏩ https://t.co/ZNOI5SAMko

Registration is OPEN NOW. Register soon - fees increase starting Sept 21.

📢 CALLING ALL VISION SCIENTISTS 📢

Abstract submission for the 2023 Fall Vision Meeting is now OPEN! Submit your abstract by Aug 1.

See you in Seattle in the Fall!

[Kim Meier, PhD @MeierVision]

Aww yeah! After canceling this in Seattle for 2020.. and again in 2021.. I'm excited to say that we finally (knock on wood) get to showcase the University of Washington as hosts of the 2023 Fall Vision Meeting.

Are you local? If you want to get involved with planning, DM me!

Vision scientists!
@ ECVP 2006 in St-Petersburg 🇷🇺 , just after the World Cup ⚽️ , someone (who?!) presented a point-light walker rendition of the (in)famous Zidane 🇫🇷-Materazzi 🇮🇹 headbutt.
I’m preparing a new class on visual perception & would ❤️ to find that video.
Please RT!

An excellent undergrad in my lab, Jannat Hossain, just published a project about the 'transposed word effect.' Readers often fail to notice grammatical errors caused by swapping the order of two words. (1/4) https://t.co/8KOWhdI0mC

If you're in Seattle and between 18-20, 26-28, or 34-39 years old, we're looking for age-matched controls with healthy vision for an EEG study: https://t.co/JwC2lgz4rR

[Vision+Cognition Lab @viscog]

Our lab is looking for Seattle-area folks who have a vision condition called amblyopia (also known as lazy eye) for a research study. We're also looking for a few age-matched controls (18 or 19 years old). Get in touch if you're interested!

[Alex White @alindleyw]

Out now in Current Biology: @jdyeatman, @cvnlab and I found huge task effects on activity in the “visual word form area." The patterns of response modulation and functional connectivity seem to be uniquely related to engagement in a linguistic task.

New lab website! https://t.co/NZQE9G9xjs
By the way, we're looking to hire a postdoc! Email me if you want to join our team and do fMRI studies about word recognition.

[Optica Fall Vision Meeting @Optica_FVM]

Abstract submission for the 2021 OSA Fall Vision Meeting is now open. Head over to https://t.co/Jx0bfZt1nV and tell us what you've been working on!

[Vision+Cognition Lab @viscog]

More good lab fellowship news: our postdoc @MeierVision has been awarded a 2021 Knights Templar Eye Foundation Career Starter Grant. Congrats Dr. Meier! https://t.co/HMTWTyEsL5

[Vision+Cognition Lab @viscog]

Our very own Dr. Woon Ju Park has been awarded a @WeillNeurohub Fellowship for 2021-23 and we couldn't be prouder. Congrats Woon Ju!! 🥳🥳

Hey friends! Need a quick break from work? Want to help science? Take a sec to do this!

[UW Graduate School @UWGradSchool]

You don't need perfect vision for your academic career. Postdoctoral fellow @MeierVision helps students in @UWPsychology's Vision + Cognition Lab discover the skills they want to learn, even if they don't know exactly where they're going yet. #UWserves https://t.co/UGDAy9Y2fo
