Can sight shape our feelings? 👁️🗨️🖐🧠
@theconversation.com article co-authored by Dr Sophie Smit & Dr @tgro.bsky.social, uncovers how fast our brain transforms what we see into what we feel.

Won an award at #ACNS2024 for my first conference talk! The talk was on object recognition during fast presentations (milliseconds), but I think I presented even faster—less than 5 minutes! 😅 Big thanks to the organisers, volunteers and my supervisors for their support! 🧠✨
