New publication in JEP:HPP @APA_Journals with @konigpeter & Alan Kingstone: We found that humans use external reference points to divide task labor. Also, they are willing to forgo an individual bias (& benefit) to boost group performance. @BARlabUBC psycnet.apa.org/record/2021-…

Check out a new preprint from our lab psyarxiv.com/s7q9u where we show that spatiotemporal overlap of eye and head movements when recognizing 360 scenes in VR improves memory performance. Critically, adding in head movement information improves performance prediction!

Study by Dr. Alan Kingstone (@BARlabUBC) & Dr. Rob Jenkins (@UniOfYork) found that when an image of a person appears within a photo, that individual is perceived as being less real and having “less mind." bit.ly/2VCPpS9

Just finished day 2 of @neuromatch Deep Learning and it is an awesome experience! So far, I’ve especially enjoyed @KordingLab’s compelling intro to tensors + @SaxeLab’s clear, engaging discussion of gradient descent! Also lucky to have such an amazing pod + TAs for the project!

Great initiative that we’re really looking forward to!! @UV_2021
Some great PhD students are organising a small virtual conference on vision and eye movements. So if you are interested in those kinds of things, you should come! @UV_2021. Students/early career people especially.
