UW Vision+Cognition Lab led by @ionefine, @BoyntonGeoff, Scott Murray. Follow us for news from the lab & from vision+cognition at large! Monitored by trainees.
📢 📢 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!
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)
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)
📢 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!
https://t.co/3kJBKnGy52
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
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!
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.
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
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!! 🥳🥳

We're kicking off #BlackinPsychWeek with #BlackinPsychRollCall!!
Introduce yourself:
1️⃣ Tell us your name, sub-field, area of research, and highlight if you’re from an HBCU (share some photos, if you'd like!)
2️⃣ Use the hashtag #BlackinPsychRollCall so we can RT
Announcing a postdoc position at the Barnard Vision Lab! If you have a PhD in neuroscience or psychology (etc), have MRI experience, and want to study how written text is processed by the visual system, please apply here: https://t.co/vOsRPuKS52.
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
