GestaltReVision

Congratulations Dr. Pistolas! Our PhD student @eleftheriapistolas.bsky.social successfully defended her PhD this week! We congratulate her on this achievement and her hard work and thank the jury members for their questions. Well done!

We are just as thrilled! Our PhD student @eleftheriapistolas.bsky.social received the Early Career Best Paper Prize for her paper published in @pec-ipe.bsky.social ⬇️

It was a pleasure introducing PsyNet and its many applications at the Laboratory for Experimental Social Psychology today! Thanks @felixhermans.bsky.social for the invitation and all PsyNet developers, incl. @pmcharrison.bsky.social and @norijacoby.bsky.social for creating such an amazing platform!

PhD Candidate Michiel Willems will explain what it means for art to be AI mediated.
 
Postdoc Dr. Stefanie De Winter will share a critical assessment of neural networks and vision language models for art historical purposes.

Together with Dr. Patrick Ceyssens our PI Prof. Johan Wagemans will present "Lux & Looks: An Art Installation and Artistic Research on Light, Reflection, Images, Perception and Memory", a close interdisciplinary collaboration between artist and scientist.

Postdoc Dr. Stefanie De Winter will share how context shapes the aesthetic experience of abstract art.

PhD Candidate @chrislinden.bsky.social will give a talk about the impact of information on art perception through multiple museum studies and PhD Candidate @lisa-kossmann.bsky.social Koßmann will share results from an empirical study investigating the effect of image fidelity on aesthetic ratings.

The GestaltReVision Lab is en route to Paris!
 
We are looking forward to joining the Sixteenth International Conference on The Image and the Tenth International Conference on Communication & Media Studies.
 
We will contribute talks to both conferences; more information in the comments below ⬇️

#ECVP2025 In addition to yesterday's Illusion Night we would like to mention the contribution of @elinevg.bsky.social and @lisa-kossmann.bsky.social about Open-Source Toolboxes for aesthetics and perception.

Great first poster session at @ecvp.bsky.social! In case you missed me or want to chat more about #ImageFidelity and #Aesthetics or #QuantitativeImageProperties, please come find me during the breaks! #ECVP2025

Additionally @elinevg.bsky.social and @lisa-kossmann.bsky.social welcome you at their booth at Demo Night where you can challenge your colleagues to create the most complex stimulus using the #OCTAToolbox and #AestethicsToolbox

📊 Maarten Leemans will present his poster „GridSamp: An Open-Source Python Toolbox for Flexible Grid-Based Image Sampling“ in Poster Session 5 on Wednesday at 10:00-11:30.

Additionally, @elinevg.bsky.social and @lisa-kossmann.bsky.social will welcome you at their Demo Night Booth which will feature the „OCTA & QIP CHALLENGE“ in which you and your colleagues can challenge each other to create the most complex stimulus using the #OCTAToolbox and #AestheticsToolbox

📊 @lisa-kossmann.bsky.social will present her poster „Evaluating the WikiArt Dataset using Quantitative Image Properties, Ratings, and Art History“ in the first Poster Session on Monday at 10:00-11:30.

🎤 @elinevg.bsky.social will give a talk on „Using Gibbs Sampling with People to characterize perceptual and aesthetic evaluations in multidimensional visual stimulus space“ in Talk Session 31 - Art & Aesthetics on Thursday at 8:30-10:00.

🎤 Fatemeh Behrad will be presenting her work „CHARM: Bridging Human Perception and Computer Vision for Aesthetics“ in Talk Session 2 - Computational Modeling on Monday 8:30-10:00

The GestaltReVision Lab is headed to #ECVP2025! We are looking forward to a great conference and sharing our work! See below for more information on our contributions ⤵️

We had a great time at #VSAC2025!
A big thank you to the organizers and other attendees for making this such a memorable and inspiring event. Now on the road to #ECVP2025!
