Are you a psychology student interested in taking your first steps in conducting research? Only a few days left to apply ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Dr Eline Van Geert with her team will explore how everyday aesthetic choices are shaped by perception of colour, shape, and complexity, using designed patterns on products to study how cultural differences affect what we find appealing. Learn more about jSchool 2026: jrp.pscholars.org/jschool2026

Ten years ago, I took part in @jresearcherprog.bsky.social as a Junior Researcher, taking my first steps in research and experiencing what international collaboration means. Now, I participate as a Supervisor, supporting a new generation of Junior Researchers to grow and learn. Consider applying! ⬇️

Every summer, jSchool starts in Siena. The research projects start taking shape!

In Winter, we all head to Vienna for jMeeting. It’s a great chance to share updates.

The following summer, jGlobal and JRPC take place in Cambridge.

Application process for students will start soon. Stay tuned! 💙

The GestaltReVision Lab spent the past week diving deep into our research projects, exploring connections between our interests, and learning from one another.

Our annual retreat isn’t just an investment in scientific growth, it’s also a reminder that great research is built on strong teams.

Very pleased to announce that my new personal website is live!
I made it with @quarto.org and started from this template github.com/drganghe/qua... by @hegang.bsky.social (thank you Dr. He for providing this template!).

Enjoy 🎉elinevg.github.io!

The beginning of December, we welcomed @fundayilmaz.bsky.social for a short research visit. Thank you Funda for sharing your cross-modal research on aesthetics with us @gestaltrevision.bsky.social!

We have made public #openscience materials from the Münster Center for Open Science, specifically flyers and cheatsheets on #OpenAccess, #OpenData, and #Preregistration. Flyers are already on Zenodo, Cheatsheets will follow: zenodo.org/communities/muecos/ and lukasroeseler.github.io/MueCOS-Infom...

Thank you @cognitionjournal.bsky.social for this recognition of my reviewing efforts!

Last week I had the pleasure of visiting the Centre for Brain Research at the Jagiellonian University in Krakau, and giving a talk at the Institute of Psychology! Thank you very much @marekpedziwi.bsky.social and @antoniafranaszek.bsky.social for the invite and interesting discussions!

Very pleased to share that our article on preferences for complexity at different levels of order is now out in PACA! 🎉Not all types of complexity were appreciated similarly, but all were liked better under high order!

The contest for the least balanced OCTA image was won by Anosha & Milena (balance score: 32.45)! Congrats!

The winning submission for the HOG complexity contest was created by Barbara (HOG complexity score: 5.72). Congratulations!

At @ecvp.bsky.social Demo Night, @lisa-kossmann.bsky.social and I held the OCTA-QIP challenge: use the OCTA toolbox to create the least balanced or most HOG complex stimulus as measured with the QIP machine of the Aesthetics Toolbox! Below we showcase some of the submissions for both contests!

It was a pleasure introducing PsyNet and its many applications at the Laboratory for Experimental Social Psychology today! Thanks @felixhermans.bsky.social for the invitation and all PsyNet developers, incl. @pmcharrison.bsky.social and @norijacoby.bsky.social for creating such an amazing platform!

Thank you very much for the invitation
@felixhermans.bsky.social! It was a pleasure to introduce your laboratory to the world of PsyNet (www.psynet.dev).

Looking forward to this discussion on how we can make peer review future proof!

It was a pleasure presenting my open-source toolbox OCTA for reproducible stimulus generation along the QIP machine from the Aesthetics Toolbox for computing quantitative image properties!

Explore OCTA here: elinevg.github.io/OCTA/

The GestaltReVision Lab is headed to #ECVP2025! We are looking forward to a great conference and sharing our work! See below for more information on our contributions ⤵️

Looking forward to #ECVP2025 Demo Night om Aug 26th! Come challenge yourself to create the most complex OCTA stimulus and check its numeric complexity with the QIP machine of the Aesthetics Toolbox!

The GestaltReVision Lab is excited to be part of this years @vsac-social.bsky.social!

We will be present all three days; come find us at the talks and posters to connect! 💬
