The GestaltReVision Lab spent the past week diving deep into our research projects, exploring connections between our interests, and learning from one another.

Our annual retreat isn’t just an investment in scientific growth, it’s also a reminder that great research is built on strong teams.

Very pleased to announce that my new personal website is live!
I made it with @quarto.org and started from this template github.com/drganghe/qua... by @hegang.bsky.social (thank you Dr. He for providing this template!).

Enjoy 🎉elinevg.github.io!

The beginning of December, we welcomed @fundayilmaz.bsky.social for a short research visit. Thank you Funda for sharing your cross-modal research on aesthetics with us @gestaltrevision.bsky.social!

We have made public #openscience materials from the Münster Center for Open Science, specifically flyers and cheatsheets on #OpenAccess, #OpenData, and #Preregistration. Flyers are already on Zenodo, Cheatsheets will follow: zenodo.org/communities/muecos/ and lukasroeseler.github.io/MueCOS-Infom...

Thank you @cognitionjournal.bsky.social for this recognition of my reviewing efforts!

Last week I had the pleasure of visiting the Centre for Brain Research at the Jagiellonian University in Krakau, and giving a talk at the Institute of Psychology! Thank you very much @marekpedziwi.bsky.social and @antoniafranaszek.bsky.social for the invite and interesting discussions!

Very pleased to share that our article on preferences for complexity at different levels of order is now out in PACA! 🎉Not all types of complexity were appreciated similarly, but all were liked better under high order!

The contest for the least balanced OCTA image was won by Anosha & Milena (balance score: 32.45)! Congrats!

The winning submission for the HOG complexity contest was created by Barbara (HOG complexity score: 5.72). Congratulations!

At @ecvp.bsky.social Demo Night, @lisa-kossmann.bsky.social and I held the OCTA-QIP challenge: use the OCTA toolbox to create the least balanced or most HOG complex stimulus as measured with the QIP machine of the Aesthetics Toolbox! Below we showcase some of the submissions for both contests!

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!

Thank you very much for the invitation
@felixhermans.bsky.social! It was a pleasure to introduce your laboratory to the world of PsyNet (www.psynet.dev).

Looking forward to this discussion on how we can make peer review future proof!

It was a pleasure presenting my open-source toolbox OCTA for reproducible stimulus generation along the QIP machine from the Aesthetics Toolbox for computing quantitative image properties!

Explore OCTA here: elinevg.github.io/OCTA/

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 ⤵️

Looking forward to #ECVP2025 Demo Night om Aug 26th! Come challenge yourself to create the most complex OCTA stimulus and check its numeric complexity with the QIP machine of the Aesthetics Toolbox!

The GestaltReVision Lab is excited to be part of this years @vsac-social.bsky.social!

We will be present all three days; come find us at the talks and posters to connect! 💬

✨We are organising (again) an online workshop on Theoretical Modeling for PhD candidates and Master students in cognitive science and psychology. Check out the website and the schedule: Registration is open! (closes July 1, spaces are limited) 🧵1/n computationalcognitivescience.github.io/workshop/

Thanks to my promotor Prof. Johan Wagemans, my collaborators and my colleagues, my family and friends, my funder @fwovlaanderen.bsky.social and my institution @kuleuvenuniversity.bsky.social for supporting me along the way!

At the 2025 Meeting of the Belgian Association for Psychological Sciences this week, I received the Best PhD Thesis Award 2025. I am very grateful for this recognition of my research combining theory and experimentation and of my commitment to open and reproducible science!

It was an honor to be interviewed about my doctoral research by @bdalile.bsky.social for #KarakterCast! This interview happened on the occasion of me receiving the ASL research award for Human Sciences for my PhD work.

Check it out on Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/07Zu...

Please all come celebrate with me on June 2nd, you can register here: research.kuleuven.be/nl/prijzen

Thanks so much! I am very honored to receive the Academische Stichting Leuven Research Award for Human Sciences 2024. Reproducible research practices have since the start been an important aspect of my work, and I am grateful I can also share that enthusiasm within @leuventea.bsky.social!
