My first paper in the field of numerical cognition is out! We showed that space-number associations only arise after a lateralized action. It was very cool to work on this, in between two foraging studies! rdcu.be/e7h1i

We are officially in search of a PostDoc to join the Visual Attention Lab at BWH and affiliation with HMS under PI Dr. Jeremy Wolfe!

Please see attached link for more details and post around! We are excited to hear from you!

If you're a #visionscience or #psychscisky person starting to think about student dissertation projects, you might be interested in our visual search/foraging experiment code at github.com/scienceanna/.... You can configure everything via CSV files (lots of options!) and it all runs on Psychopy.

So happy to be part of the “plus” crowd at the IVL+ dinner @icevislab.bsky.social at #ECVP2025 - now it is time to get ready for an early session on colour perception tomorrow morning

Sincères félicitations !!

Have a safe trip back! Was nice to see you!

On my way to #ECVP2025 in Mainz! Looking forward to connect with friends and colleagues. Don't miss my talk on individual differences during visual foraging on Tuesday at 11:30!

New from #RSOS: Foraging through emotions: emotional stimuli and participants’ trait anxiety shape visual foraging. Read more: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... ‪@jerometagu.bsky.social‬ #psychology

Foraging through emotions: emotional stimuli and participants’ trait anxiety shape visual foraging | Royal Society Open Science Previous work suggests that target selection during visual foraging is achieved through competition between different factors (e.g. proximity, priming, value) that orient attention towards one of the possible targets. However, this research has mainly ...

New paper out in RSOS @royalsocietypublishing.org! We found that emotional characteristics of both stimuli and participants shape visual foraging. This is the first paper from the MULTIFOR project funded by @agencerecherche.bsky.social! #PsychSciSky #VisionScience
