How do we see style? In a recent series of experiments, Boger and Firestone ask: How do we perceive style?’. Their findings suggest that style perception relies on basic p…

I finally have some new work to share - some thoughts on how we perceive style with a sprinkle of aesthetics, Fechner, and most importantly: labradors 🐕

We are just as thrilled! Our PhD student @eleftheriapistolas.bsky.social received the Early Career Best Paper Prize for her paper published in @pec-ipe.bsky.social ⬇️

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!

PhD Candidate @chrislinden.bsky.social will give a talk about the impact of information on art perception through multiple museum studies and PhD Candidate @lisa-kossmann.bsky.social Koßmann will share results from an empirical study investigating the effect of image fidelity on aesthetic ratings.

#ECVP2025 In addition to yesterday's Illusion Night we would like to mention the contribution of @elinevg.bsky.social and @lisa-kossmann.bsky.social about Open-Source Toolboxes for aesthetics and perception.

Great first poster session at @ecvp.bsky.social! In case you missed me or want to chat more about #ImageFidelity and #Aesthetics or #QuantitativeImageProperties, please come find me during the breaks! #ECVP2025

Come find me at my #ECVP2025 poster to chat about image fidelity in the #WikiArt image dataset!

Come find @elinevg.bsky.social and myself at #ECVP2025 Demo Night to challenge your colleagues to a fun little game around visual complexity using the #octatoolbox and the #QIPMachine of the #AestheticsToolbox!

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! 💬

Looking forward to being back at @vsac-social.bsky.social - this year not only as a presenter but also a member of the organizing committee! Looking forward to connecting with old and new members and colleagues! #VSAC2025

Finding Closure: A Closer Look at the Gestalt Law of Closure in Convolutional Neural Networks - Computational Brain & Behavior The human brain has an inherent ability to fill in gaps to perceive figures as complete wholes, even when parts are missing or fragmented. This phenomenon, known as Closure in psychology, is one of th...

If you are interested in the mechanisms underlying object detection in neural networks - have a look at our paper investigating the Gestalt Principle of Closure in CNNs!

So inspired and motivated after attending my first #VSS2025 the annual conference of the @vssmtg.bsky.social! Thanks to everyone who stopped by my poster on Symmetry Detection and Figure-Ground Segmentation in Rich Images. Truly enjoyed meeting everyone and hearing about the amazing research you do!

Looking forward to co-hosting a workshop on @quarto.org alongside @elinevg.bsky.social on @kuleuvenuniversity.bsky.social‘s Open Science Day!

Ever wondered how to achieve more reproducible research outputs? On the Open Science Day at @kuleuvenuniversity.bsky.social, we will introduce you to
@quarto.org as a tool to directly combine text and R/Python code into custom formatted documents!

Register before 23/04 (see info below ⬇️)

We are excited to host you this year at the Museum Reinhard Ernst! The museum exclusively features abstract art and will stay open late on the 22nd for #VSAC2025 attendees to marvel at their extensive collection.

Happy to share our paper on the #AestheticsToolbox around the #QIP-Machine has been published #OpenAccsess in Behavior Research Methods!

It can can be used to easily and transparently compute a wide range of quantitative image properties for digital images 📸
