As it's Trans Day of Visibility I guess it's a good a time as any to mention to new followers that DailyCannon was founded and is owned/run by a trans man.
I think it's the only football site that can say that.
Anyway, no surprise we say - support trans people. Every day, not just today.
Hahaha I’m with you there
Such a great experience for ECRs. @isabelgauthier.bsky.social is a great mentor!
Road trippin’ to ACNS 2025, Melbourne!

No worries.
Hey @mindfuldem.bsky.social you’ve tagged the wrong person
Speech-in-noise perception gets better as listeners adapt to environment/room reverberation statistics! Another W for statistical learning. 😁
New paper from folks in our lab (led by Heivet Hernandez-Perez): elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...
Eze. Next.
Ooh thanks, I haven’t read those other two! I look forward to reading them today instead of doing the research I’m paid for 😁
Cool to see this! I only came across some of the single-trial memory stuff (e.g. Standing et al) recently, so this is timely for me!
Great article Lewis, love to read you calling out the fascism going on in the US!
You’re related to Petey? Nice, I’ve liked his music for a couple years now!
We have a PhD position for an upcoming project in metacognition research in Potsdam / Berlin. A great opportunity for those interested in cognitive modeling of confidence and EEG.
More information at coconeuro.github.io/phd2025
Kindly share this opportunity with potential candidates - Thanks!
It’s all about attention in June's 50th anniversary articles tinyurl.com/3ywt8zec!

@sauter.bsky.social
Happy to share some new theoretical work with @andyperfors.bsky.social
that will appear at CogSci this year! We argue (and demonstrate through simulations) that people can determine how much to trust other agents by thinking about how those agents have acquired their knowledge. 1/3
Australian election called against Dutton and the Coalition. I almost want to cry a little - didn't realise how badly I needed this to happen. There was a lot at stake in this election but I know a lot of marginalised people are breathing a sigh of relief.

In May, our 50th Anniversary series features an invited review from Valenza et al, who trace the legacy of their seminal 1996 article, "Face preference at birth” and a readers’ perspective on perception of relations.

Tagging journal @jephpp.bsky.social!
Two of the reviewers were fantastic - insightful yet fair. Thank you! 10/10 (end of thread but also me rating reviewers)
Takeaways: musicians better in SJ tasks (but may be response bias) yet show > multisensory integration in a more objective RT task (but may be just better sustained attention, motivation, etc.). SJs show rapid recalibration but RTs don't, so RR probs not due to early sensory latency changes 9/10
Multisensory gain (redundant target effect; RTE) across RT distribution is well predicted by Raab's (1962) race model, except when considering just the fastest RTs 8/10
Multisensory integration (race model violations in simple RT task) do NOT correlate with simultaneity perception (Fig. 7). Yet the difference between unimodal auditory and visual RTs STRONGLY predicts the SOA of largest multisensory gain 7/10
We get nice/sexy modality shift effects (previous trial modality affects simple RT on current trial). Paper has more details about novel modality shift effect analyses 6/10
Yet simple RTs do not show such rapid recalibration (see paper for race model analysis showing same thing) 5/10
Simultaneity judgements (SJs) are recalibrated according to the modality order of the previous stimulus 4/10
And yet, musicians exhibited greater multisensory gains for simple RTs 3/10
First, musicians were far less likely than non-musicians to report simultaneity between asynchronous flash-tone stimuli 2/10
⚠️New paper! If you like multisensory temporal perception, this one has HEAPS for you. We looked at simultaneity perception, simple RTs, race model inequality, serial dependence (recalibration), modality shift costs, musicians, and more! Findings summarised below 1/10

Cool! Must have been so satisfying to solve that mystery - I had a similar experience a few years ago but had to wade through Google search for it
