A highly ornate ceiling depicting holy works of a saint executed in a trompe l'œil fashion. Large numbers of angels feature. Three windows are at the top and three windows are at the bottom of the image.

Always look up, Rome edition (but not Sistine Chapel, questo è proibito!). This is the baroque ceiling fresco of Chiesa di Sant'Ignazio di Loyola representing the life of Ignatius of Loyola, a founder of the Catholic order of the Society of Jesus. The late Francis was the first pope of this order.

Looks especially interesting...

Dennett was right - the non-campus uni

Often only connected by haphazard overlap wrt some external events...

The final bit of work from my PhD just got published at JOV! We looked at similarity judgements made for naturalistic image patches, and whether these are predicted by simple image statistics… (spoiler: yep!)

Cambridge and other places better I think..

The unfathomable richness of seeing Many hold that visual experience is sparse and its richness illusory, relying on high-level summaries rather than detailed content. However, we argue here that seeing is more than this – it is unfatho...

These angels are in March. If you don’t fancy cycling there in a headwind, you could see them in March, on the March March march.

Old fashioned hero, imo.. Just one person but making a difference..

Zoomed out picture of white circular moon in faint pinkish sky wedged between two trees out of a line of autumn trees with green, red, and brownish-orange leaves. In front of the trees is a swathe of green grass followed by a line of brownish red taller grass, and in front of that more very green shorter grass.

October moon.

Always look up: Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore edition. We joined a line of hundreds queuing to visit the tomb of the late Pope Francis.

Really interesting post...

Saw issue with high-impact paper findings this week...

Any perception/obj recognition journals do speedy commentaries (it's constructive) ?

suggestions gratefully received!

Fast and robust visual object recognition in young children The visual recognition abilities of preschool children rival those of state-of-the-art artificial intelligence models.

My paper with @stellalourenco.bsky.social ‬is now out in Science Advances!

We found that children have robust object recognition abilities that surpass many ANNs. Models only outperformed kids when their training far exceeded what a child could experience in their lifetime

Paris before and after street transformation

New urban forest planted in front of Paris City Hall

A Paris “School Street” where cars are removed and people space/tree planting are added

According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150K trees have been planted & 45ha of parks created in the already hot city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to & manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050.

Just the start.

Common sense.
