The DAVE Lab

📝 New Paper! 📝 We expanded on the perceptual oscillations found across the stride-cycle by comparing central and peripheral vision. Spoiler: There are phase and amplitude differences. Check it out! doi.org/10.1093/pnasne… Authors: me, @matt_j_davidson, and David Alais

Those @ecvp_ , come to the posters and see Alessia's poster!

Come along to a National Science Week 2024 public lecture by Prof David Alais @The_DAVE_Lab,‘Study in Visual Perception’. Thursday 15 August, 6-7pm; $5. Register: bit.ly/3WmNzk4

Direct your gaze at this or put it into your periphery, really depends if you are walking. We found that the oscillation of visual detection ability during walking has phasic difference between centre and periphery. See our preprint at: doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

My first time in Slovenia and first @mobi_conference, we're off to a great start. Decent venue too... #MoBI24

For those at #VSS2024, come to the Banyan Breezeway this morning to see my poster on the work we have done with Erik Van der Burg on Visual Working Memory whilst Walking.

Congrats @KatePickard_ for your first publication, Incongruent active head rotations increase visual motion detection thresholds academic.oup.com/nc/article/202…

Our paper on crossmodal adaptation is out now! rdcu.be/dG1Xx

Finally online, with an expanded analysis, discussion and appendix. elifesciences.org/reviewed-prepr…

How might our everyday actions change perception? Out today @NatureComms we show that walking rhythmically modulates how sensitive we are to the environment. The latest from my final days as a postdoc with @DAVElab at @UsydPsych OA paper: rdcu.be/dAAgE 🧵 1/7

Preprint online now!

And that's a wrap folks! Grateful to @brendanjohnh for joining me on this spontaneous Melbourne trip of talks. Once again, thank you to @Jacob_M_Paul @UniMelb and @NaoTsuchiya @MonashUni for hosting our presentations!!!

Thanks to @NaoTsuchiya and @conscious_tlab for having @brendanjohnh and I for my talk. Enjoyed the discussions we had both in the lab and at the brewery! Excited for Monday when @brendanjohnh will present!

Got to present to the Cognitive Neuroscience Hub at @UniMelb alongside @brendanjohnh! Thank you to our gracious host @Jacob_M_Paul for having us!

Big Moment: Our Masters student, Kate Pickard, is presenting her final presentation for her project!

#VSS2023 Day 5: DAVE Lab alumni, Garry Kong, presented his new Working Memory paradigm that shows great promise! Fellow #USYD researcher, @ReubenRideaux presented his talk on the efficient neural coding of sensory adaptation.

#VSS2023 Day 3: Our Masters student, @KatePickard_ , presented her poster yesterday and had great engagement the whole time. Absolutely amazing. David presented his poster on food serial dependence and had people hungry for more!

#VSS2023 Day 3: Our PhD student, @phan_cameron, has presented his first international talk and the general consensus was... good (I guess?), reply with any feedback for him. Anyways, look at for our Master student, Kate's, and David's poster tomorrow!

#VSS2023 Day 2: Got to listen to our new friend, @Courtney_EM_, she killed it! Saw David's experience and skills come into play for his poster on the new tCFS paradigm Shoutout to our new friends Marijn Hafkamp, @SamruddhiDamle, and Danial Borooghani from the REPAIRS program

Final leg: To Tampa!
