Double release! 👀 two new preprints out now: Perceptual prioritization of others can be explained by representational closeness to the self 🔛 doi.org/10.31234/osf... Individual differences (gender, personality) determine prioritisation across the social closeness gradient 👥 doi.org/10.31234/osf...

In this study, we show how arbitrary self-association creates social salience, biasing early attentional selection. We further compare social to perceptual salience, and test whether they interact in attentional selection. Absolutely loved working with the talented @tuennermann.bsky.social on this

If you care for people, you have to care for the world that people live in. Environmental exploitation is not a sustainable strategy!

Meike Scheller @meike-scheller.bsky.social · 16/07/2025

As a Psychologist for Environmental Action (PEAs) member and previous care worker I am deeply worried about the decision our local council has taken to scrap climate goals (net zero by 2045), using "social care emergency" as a distraction. There won't be care, where there is not planet to live on!

She is finally published. Small sample but valuable insights. We've been studying audio-haptic integration in sighted and early- vs. late-blind (EB/LB) people. EB integrate optimally, while LB don't (likely switch cues). Here, we're exploring the neural mechanisms of audio-haptic integration...

Source modelling analyses. Data from the 460-716ms post-sound onset time were then submitted to distributed linear source modelling. Stronger responses (p<0.05 for >10 contiguous solution points) were observed in three clusters; the coordinates of the local maximum are indicated.

Registering early this year has more advantages - Secure a space for the social dinner at Durham Castle (200 max)🍽️ - We are also holding a number of rooms in Uni accommodation and at Hotel Ingido for you. Spaces are limited🛏️ - You can request invitation letters (e.g. for VISA) at registration stage📝

👩‍⚕️ OTs and Orthoptists 👨‍⚕️ New survey about current practice of visual perception difficulties after a brain injury: tinyurl.com/mpbebbmt. Results will inform new training and clinical tools. ⏳ 5-10 min 🏆 15 free posters about visual perception difficulties + rehab advice, see 🔽. Thank you!!

Achromatopsia poster. It shows a drawing of glasses. In one lens you can see letters in all colours. In the other lens, the same letters are in black and white. At the bottom there are come colouring pencils. A cartoon character is pointing to the yellow pencil and says 'what colour is this?' another character is saying 'yellow'. At the top is a post-it note that says '22% of stroke survivors will have some form of achromatopsia'. The main text reads: "This refers to a difficulty recognising or perceiving colour. The world can appear in shades of grey, or just look more dull. This can make it hard to tell the difference between similar shades of colours such as yellow and green. Difficulties can be restricted to either the left or right side of vision, or can cover both sides. There is no cure for achromatopsia, but managing its symptoms can look like: asking others to point out the colours of things, wearing tinted lenses to help with light sensitivity, using technology like apps to identify colour"

Hi Santani, apologies for that! The portal was supposed to stay open well into Saturday (UK time), taking technical issues into account. I'll look into this problem tomorrow. Either way, abstracts that have been emailed to us before the deadline will still be considered :)
