Mauro Manassi

Are you curious how the brain creates a stable visual world? Check out our four year EastBio PhD competition project with @MauroManassi, Rama Chakravarthi and Brett Cochrane at @abdnpsych! Info at tinyurl.com/2s9d4ucw Deadline: 15 Dec

@jbrendanritchie Congrats!

I am very happy to announce that this Fall I will be starting my position as Assistant Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Lethbridge. I am finally returning home to Canada, and the Prairies that I love.

Neuroscientists hearing AI people talk about the brain. (sorry couldn't resist)

UK courts are missing a fundamental piece of information about eyewitness evidence according to new research led by School of Psychology's Dr Travis Seale-Carlisle. Read more about it here: abdn.io/13B

Does past visual experience influence facial first impressions? Our new research with C Sutherland, L Jeffery, S Maisey, @MauroManassi shows that trustworthiness impressions are influenced by previously seen faces, even by emotional expressions. tinyurl.com/bdh3mcf4 🧵1/8

@jortegaNY @NIH Amazing Jeff! Dave told me everything about it :-)

So excited to share that I've received my first NoA for the #DSPAN F99/K00 award from @NIH! This grant will fund the rest of my PhD and 4 years of my post-doctoral training where I'll investigate the behavioral and neural mechanisms of social visual attention. (1/n)

@_AlViN_lab @Fiammarini's study! ...but thanks 😌

Did I just post @MauroManassi’s study? Well that’s a cool one you should have checked as well! Here is ours!

Morning y’all! We started already. Today we present visual search on dynamic faces! Come and say hi to Zeynep @zezevesco #ECVP2024

Some memes from yesterday's Perceptio-Nite...🙂 #ECVP2024

I will soon open a call for a 1.5-year postdoc position at the University of Aberdeen @abdnpsych. I will be co-chairing #ECVP2024 in Aberdeen next week (August 25-29th) with Prof. Constanze Hesse, so feel free to get in touch for an informal chat if you are interested! 😉

Would you like to avoid carrying your poster tube while traveling to ECVP 2024? We can print your poster locally for you to collect from the university library! The cost is £12 for paper and £45.60 for canvas. For more information, visit ecvp2024.abdn.ac.uk/presentation-g…. 🖨️🐮🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The ECVP 2024 programme, including dates and times for keynotes, symposia, tutorials, roundtables, oral and poster presentations, is now out! 🥳🐮🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿ecvp2024.abdn.ac.uk/programme/

Thanks to all the co-authors, especially the amazing David Pascucci @David__Pascucci for reviving this project which started a looong time ago! Our article is available at academic.oup.com/schizophreniab…… 6/6 🧵

These findings, which do not replicate previous ones, challenge the notion that reduced serial dependence (and less reliance on prior info) is a universal characteristic of the disease, suggesting instead that these effects may be specific to certain paradigms and stimuli. 5/6🧵

It has been proposed that schizophrenia patients rely more on sensory input and less on prior information. According to this view, they are less affected by visual illusions that rely on perceptual priors. But is this really true?(shorturl.at/jmhKv) 1/6🧵

@j_greenwood Congrats John! 🙂

Call me Professor Greenwood from October 1st! No exceptions. (Seriously though: huge thanks to everyone who wrote letters and looked at drafts, and to everyone that I’ve had the pleasure of working with over the years. Plus of course the fam for all the love and surprise signs)
