The automated subtitles can't cope with my accent apparently 😭
Presenting my work (audiovisual integration in a localisation task with familiar and novel cues)
Art critique pigeons, phones changing how we see white, VR illusions and a hint of multisensory integration. Great time at #EPSNewcastle 2026! @exppsychsoc.bsky.social
New lab note: Comparing multisensory integration across different sensory cues is tricky because the size of the multisensory benefits depends on the variance of individual cues. How can cue normalisation solve this problem? thomaschazelle.fr/en/cue-norma...
Hi EPS team, a colleague and I submitted our abstracts but did not receive a confirmation email, is this normal at this stage? Thanks 🙏
Yes yes, l'article dit la même chose - mais le plot dit quelque chose de très différent j'ai l'impression ? Bref, je trouvais ça intéressant ayant bossé sur l'influence sociale sur l'image corporelle, et ayant aussi galéré à trouver des effets fiables, j'étais content ça allait dans mon sens haha.
D'accord sur le principe, mais le plot donne vraiment l'impression que l'augmentation est en points de pourcentage..? Ce qui donnerait du x4-5 donc 400-500% en relatif ? Ça reste bien moins que x40 mais quand même ? Mais je pense juste que j'ai pas compris d'où sort le 23, je relirai
Hello, cool newsletter comme d'hab :) sur les likes sur les vidéos de régime, tu (l'article aussi) parles d'un effet petit, mais l'augmentation de 23% selon la symptomatologie c'est en points de pourcentage si j'en crois le plot ? ça m'a l'air massif ! Ou je n'ai pas compris un truc (très possible)
Thanks @adrienfillon.bsky.social for the find!
Just came across Paul Bloom's criticism of some developmental psychology work and I wanted to share my thoughts.
Tldr: We do need more data to find out, in the future, whether we were trying to fit cylinders (data points) in square holes (bad theories) all along - thomaschazelle.fr/en/data-matt...
Chatting with Matej
What a lovely 3 days in Utrecht for #BRNet2025. Thanks everyone for the thought-provoking talks and chats. I think the computational modelling theme for this year was spot-on, congrats to the organisers @bodyrepnetwork.bsky.social ! Looking forward to seeing some of you again at #IMRF in Durham!
Brilliant workshop, imho definitely a/the direction our field should move towards!
1st day at #BRNet2025 - I thought my nerdiness was sated with the computational modelling workshop, until Pieter Medendorp mentioned the El Greco fallacy 🥹
Can #BRNet2025 answer the cartographer / tuner question? If you're in Utrecht in the next few days and even if you're not coming, feel free to share and, most of all, comment!

Thought-provoking as always with @chazfirestone.bsky.social - you've probably hard that the Müller-Lyer illusion was WEIRD. But is it really? scholars.duke.edu/publication/... by @dorsaamir.bsky.social and @chazfirestone.bsky.social
This is based on some of my PhD work that resulted in a paper a few months ago in Psychological Research with Michel Guerraz and Richard Palluel-Germain - link.springer.com/article/10.1...
Probability distributions associated with different words describing body size and shape

"Exposure to any Great Replacement Conspiracy narrative increased radical intentions against Muslims" - further proof that it should be considered hate speech and OUTLAWED!

Today, the NSA is planning a "Big Delete" of websites and internal network content that contain any of 27 banned words, including "privilege," "bias," and "inclusion," a NSA source tells Popular Information.
The massive purge is creating chaos, taking down "mission-related" work
