I wrote something mildly irresponsible: A Bestiary of Modern Scientists Featuring: - The McScientist - The Broker - The Hipster - The Socialite - The Costanza - The Late Blooming Theorist I suspect many will recognize local fauna. @fasoto_900/a-bestiary-of-modern-scientists-452ff7bccac4" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@fasoto_900/a-… #AcademicTwitter

Announcements for Open Mind, an MIT Press Open Access journal for Cognitive Science 1. We are now “Diamond” access for the foreseeable future (at least 2 years at this point): this means there are NO CHARGES for publication (or submission, or anything) direct.mit.edu/opmi

New @CurrentBiology paper from @SchynsPhilippe lab funded by @wellcometrust: “Pre-frontal cortex guides dimension-reducing transformations in the occipito-ventral pathway for categorization behaviors” with @JiayuZhan @Joachim__Gross @drrobinince. We investigate how brain networks actively transform the same complex input scene images into their task-specific lower-dimensional manifolds to support flexible categorization behaviors.

Hats off to whoever made this: goody2.ai/chat

With strong stimulus control and a model-based analysis that differentiates between multiple forms of perceptual independence, we consistently find across 12 experiments that face identity and expression are perceived as a "Gestalt" (according to formal definition from SDT)

Now accepted for publication in @APA_Journals Emotion: "Multidimensional Signal Detection Modeling Reveals Gestalt-Like Perceptual Integration of Face Emotion and Identity." With @S_SanazHosseini as lead author. osf.io/preprints/psya….

What is the computation underlying confidence? With @DobyRahnev and @Mynameismedha, we compared distance-to-criterion models to Bayesian models in two experiments, and provided support for the distance-to-criterion models over Bayesian models. 1/13 psyarxiv.com/mf5zp/

Woo hoo. I got to hold a copy of our book in my hands today! Great feeling

Thanks-36 authors went thru this in month after publication. Sig errors in method, reporting and inference, covered here in depth #LeakyUmbrella ☂nature.com/articles/s4138…
