Hi fellow cognitive- and neuro-scientists and language lovers. Just leaving X and joining bluesky. Looking forward to learning about each other's work and other matters, and building a wonderful network here.

hey -- i'm hiring a postdoc! the ad will be up shortly, but looking for someone with network neuroscience experience (very broadly). the position isn't tied to any specific project/grant, so lots of flexibility in terms of what you'd actually *do*. hmu if you might be interested/want to learn more!

The journals Perception and i-Perception are now on Bluesky!

We’ll post here updates about articles published in the journals, calls for special issues, and any other exciting news related to perception research.

This was a great talk at Psychonomics, and Akira provides really useful insights on how to think about individual differences research in cognitive psychology!

I want to draw attention to a special issue that Lila Davachi and I put together to memorialize our friend and colleague Sarah DuBrow. It’s full of papers inspired by her work and her being from a group of collaborators, friends, and fans! Thanks @bradpostle.bsky.social for helping make this happen.

Hello, Psychonomics! Come share your work in Australia. I'm co-organizing the 2025 meeting of the Australasian Society for Experimental Psych, which will be joint with the Asia-Pacific Conference on Vision. A week later, Human Brain Mapping is in Brisbane. There's never been a better time!
