New paper alert!: Is the P300/P3b a neural signature of perceptual awareness? We combined a visual masking paradigm with a no-report paradigm and found that it is not.https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.01.15.908400v1 …

VERY important paper from Logothetis' group just posted on
@biorxivpreprint about decoding consciousness in PFC in monkeys during a no-report paradigm. VERY critical data for current debates in awareness.https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.01.28.921841v1.full.pdf+html …Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -

We experience a rich visual world. However, experiments often demonstrate that we lack the details. How can we make sense of this puzzle, and if we're so bad at the details, how does vision work as well as it does? A new theory: https://rdcu.be/b0EWf

In 1975, a physicist put his CAT on his paper as a co-author. Why? Because he wrote "we" instead of "I" throughout the manuscript and fixing it back then with a typewriter was too much of a hassle for him.https://www.boredpanda.com/cat-physics-paper-coauthor-chester/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic …

Full disclosure: I did not expect that we'd find these results. I personally predicted we'd get a smaller, but still significant, P300/P3b. Definitely a surprising result to me!

When people were aware of stimuli and reporting what they saw, we found a strong P300/P3b. When people were aware of the stimuli but did NOT report what they saw, the P300/P3b disappeared completely.pic.twitter.com/5OEenMzmmT

Ever wonder what an MRI of a Pug's face looks like? Wonder no more! What have we done to these animals!??!pic.twitter.com/iK9VlHLgvg

This new ad from Gatorade is AMAZING. If you even remotely like illusions or engineering or just feats of technology, you'll like this. (if impatient, fast forward to 1:40 when the lights/water synch up). Trust me!!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG_l1oacWoQ …

One of the greatest Go players of all time (arguably) decided to retire because of the existence of an AI that cannot be defeated. This actually kind of really breaks my heart a bit. Yay progress?https://gizmodo.com/go-champion-realizes-ai-has-rendered-his-life-meaningle-1840068855 …

Great new paper in
@CurrentBiology showing how the neural correlates of your experience of a visual illusion (i.e., "How it looks to you") are way beyond visual cortex. Very important result for lots of different theories on awareness and consciousnesshttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982219313739 …Thanks.

Has everyone heard these audio-clips where a neural network can mimic a voice with just FIVE SECONDS of training? Point for DeepFakes!! Check out the clips below. They're fun to click through and listen to. https://google.github.io/tacotron/publications/speaker_adaptation/?fbclid=IwAR1vPbU-OywvbO6NJypszWYDeVf9dCFqp-tXYXobTHn7Uy48_A6GX3HQE3s …

Color question: Can someone explain to me what is going on? Aren't these glasses kind of a hoax? I know some color blind people in the building, I'm assuming none of them will be moved to tears? Are these people all actors? What am I missing?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6QuYiY1EJg …

I'm prepping a class on Animal Consciousness and I actually think this (admittedly charming) video of a cat falling for a magic trick is really revealing. Worth showing to students?pic.twitter.com/LkEnbVYi2J

Color friends (or people interested in color blindness), I usually show a bunch of these simulations in my class when I talk about color perception. How accurate do we think they are? Pretty good approximations? Flawed, but the best we could hope for?https://www.boredpanda.com/different-types-color-blindness-photos/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic …

Not related to anything in psychology or neuroscience, but these pictures from the Nikon Small World Competition are unbelievably beautiful if you like science or nature at all.https://www.boredpanda.com/nikon-small-world-best-microscope-photos-of-the-year-2019/?cexp_id=22177&cexp_var=15&_f=featured …

A student just sent me this (beautifully) drawn story about mantis shrimp eye and was SO EXCITED to learn about their amazing visual systems. They were HEARTBROKEN when I had to break it to them that their color perception is actually WORSE than ours :(https://theoatmeal.com/comics/mantis_shrimp …

Next time you don't like a reviewer, just remember, this reviewer #2 didn't think this work was novel enough to warrant publication in Nature. That work just won Peter Ratcliffe a Nobel Prize. I wonder if reviewer 2 stands by that review!? Wouldn't be shocked actually!pic.twitter.com/u91IhAN8jV
