Who in the world has a better job than I do? I get to see young brilliant minds grow as they push their boundaries to expand world’s knowledge. I’m surrounded by like-minded nerds who work their ass off for the same cause. Thank you all. Really, thank you. You inspire me. UTM PBS ROCKS.

Can drivers predict the future? Here’s our new preprint by Jiali Song, Ginnie Wee, and @benwolfevision.bsky.social: “Predicting Natural Road Scenes: Effects Of Motion, Stereoscopic Depth, And Scene Context”, that explores how drivers use visual features to predict road scenes. osf.io/preprints/ps...

We *think* we know where we look when we're behind the wheel, but that's not the full story! New preprint from @applylab.bsky.social postdoc Jiali Song: "When and where do drivers look when searching for road hazards? Eye movements and hazard localization in dynamic road scenes." Thread: 1/6

#HiSciSky I study vision in real-world settings, working in both vision science and human factors at UTM. Studying how drivers don't die (and how to keep everyone safe), and how to get you through your inbox faster (digital readability). PI, APPLY Lab #visionscience #cogsci #cogpsych #PsychSciSky
