For #InternationalWomensDay why not go to www.bps.org.uk/psychologist and scroll down to 'Explore The Psychologist', for the 30+ incredible women and their stories we have already featured in 2026 alone. Thank you all! (And also to the women I work with!)

A nice shift in perceived colour between central and peripheral vision. The fixated disc looks purple while the others look blue. The effect presumably comes from the absence of S-cones in the fovea. From Hinnerk Schulz-Hildebrandt: arxiv.org/pdf/2509.115...
An array of 9 purple discs on a blue background. Figure from Hinnerk Schulz-Hildebrandt.

Excellent first 2025 BIGTALK by @michaelproulx.bsky.social! Preferences for eye tracking targeting, scan paths not fixations for activity recognition, implicit gaze as unique fingerprint, shoutout to Bristol’s egocentric computer vision @dimadamen.bsky.social.

Journal fees for open access are becoming obscene. But what are we, scientists, paying for? I made a simple plot with journals in my research area(s). Clearly, we are paying for prestige: a shockingly clean correlation between the impact factor and journal fees
