This project took over a decade to complete and I could not be more proud to be part of it...congrats @martinamorea.bsky.social! We show visual perception relies on time-consuming grouping mechanisms. Hope you enjoy the thread!

Having said this, I totally agree priming effects in social psychology are very hard to find (if they exist at all). Maybe in your case the term "priming effects in social psychology" would be more on point to discuss implications for that field?

Thank you for clarifying. The term "priming" in vision science is based on behavioural experiment (different reaction times, accuracy, etc.) and it can manifest on multiple levels of action, perception, decision-making and memory effects. These effects exist and they have been fully characterized.

I have a general question. When you refer to priming, do you refer to social psychology? Or to psychology in general? In vision science, priming/serial dependence/serial effects are still very much alive with convincing evidence (I just published a meta-analysis on it on >100 studies)

@vssmtg.bsky.social , I am sure this must be a mistake...there is no reason to tone down your EDI statement, right? Right?? #visionscience

The numbers are in. @bsky.app research sharing volumes vs X Formerly Twitter

In March 2024, on most days, Bluesky hosts more posts linked to research published in 2025 than X.

By quite a lot.

French scientist denied US entry after phone messages critical of Trump found France’s research minister said the scientist was traveling to Houston for a conference when his phone was searched

...I guess it would be easier to ask "Do you have a Bluesky account"? Yes: entry denied No: entry granted 🧠

I am SO proud. Ad maiora @fiammarini.bsky.social! 🧠 #VisionScience #VisionResearch #PsychSciSky

Every scientist, long before they were a scientist, was a little kid who stood in front of a fish tank or stared up at the stars or turned over a rock to look at the bugs underneath and said “wow”. On the best days, working in science still feels like that.

Welcome #ECVP2025!

Yeah, I’ve read academic papers like this.

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.
