What are peoples' favorite fun facts to tell students in neuroscience/cognitive science? One of mine is how dolphins sleep one brain hemisphere at a time. I'm looking for more to break up lectures in content-heavy classes! #neuroskyence #cogsci

Does the natural scenes database count? Roughly once a week, but for 40 weeks at 7T, so tons of data.

Could this phone call be an email? 
Could this email be a text? 
Could this text be unsent? 

Could we in silence retreat to the forest? 
Could we, by game trails & forgotten paths, vanish into the trees?

Vision science peeps, help needed! My grad student has been trying to replicate *very basic* Posner cueing online... to no avail. We've tried several times with Prolific subjects; quadruple-checked our code, and nothing. Valid cues at variable CTOAs are still slower than invalid cues. Any clues?!

I've definitely found accuracy effects in search at short durations (~250ms displays at set size 8). You might also try playing around with target-distractor similarity to adjust difficulty, like using T-shaped Ls as distractors in T among L search.
