A closeup photo of the head and thorax of an eyed click beetle perched on tree bark, seen from above. The beetle is yellow and black, with two round black eye spots on the thorax. The eye spots are much darker than the other black patches on the beetle, and reflect virtually no light.
An eyed click beetle (Alaus sp., guessing A. zunianus), SE Arizona. The eye spots, through a combination of black pigment and structural absorption, absorb over 96% of light. Measured in STUs (Spinal Tap Units), how much more black could they be? The answer is none. None more black. ππΏβ«β« #BugSky

Memorability of visual stimuli and the role of processing efficiency
Nature Reviews Psychology - Certain items are better remembered than others across individuals, a property known as memorability. In this Review, Bainbridge and colleagues detail memorability...
What makes visual stimuli memorable? Wilma Bainbridge, @keisukefukuda.bsky.social, Lore Goetschalckx, and I investigate the role of processing fluency for memorability in a new review paper in Nature Reviews Psychology. Check it out!

In 2021 we reported that live learning outperformed recorded learning. In a new preregistered analysis, my first senior-author paper led by Stan de Visser (pre-print), we find that this benefit does not increase with interactivity. The potential to interact may be enough to boost learning. A thread:

All subjective, but this fits with my general feeling over the last 5-10yrs. Cost/mobility surely a factor. Maybe also active electrodes which makes set up so much easier. But also maybe a shift away from ERP-ology

The picture shows six needles of different sizes. They were made of bone resemble their modern descendants with an eye at one end and a tapered end.
Things used in everyday life are the real archaeological treasures! These sewing #needles were made from animal bone some 15,000 years ago. Some designs simply don't need to be improved, because form and functions were perfectly matched from the start. Form follows function! π§΅1/2

thats a good point. But with fMRI going down its more sailent that EEG is going up. I think its cost that is driving this, but I could be wrong.

Good Q. I suspect new analysis capacity, it can be done mobile, and (sadly) there are cheap solutions out there. It is exciting to see what can be found. Its no magic bullet, but there are some interesting insights coming.
