Our detailed tests of high-speed OLED monitors for vision, eye-tracking, and EEG research are finally out in 𝐵𝑒ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑖𝑜𝑟 𝑅𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑐ℎ 𝑀𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑑𝑠. So why did it take 1.5 years to publish this? Because we discovered a new property of OLEDs that vision researchers should be aware of... [1]

Are you interested in psychological experiments, but feel a little unsure about programming. Try OpenSesame. Not only has it a user-friendly GUI, it is also connected to SigmundAI, an AI assistant that can basically make the experiment for you! Super cool stuff by @cogsci.nl

🚨New Publication!🚨 When doing research with transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), it is important to consider one major potential confound: retinal phosphenes. They may affect your data significantly, which is what we discuss here! doi.org/10.1016/j.ij...

Note that due to the damage we had higher TMS intensities for patients. This could relate to the larger N15.

Miles Wischnewski @miles2708.bsky.social · 15/10/2025

That is the big question! In healthy volunteers Zrenner et al showed that rTMS at trough was most effective for offline results. But in patients, we don't know. That will be answered in follow up research!

Miles Wischnewski @miles2708.bsky.social · 15/10/2025

That is a good point. The P30-N15 was our main outcome, as it is a difference score. The absolute N15 and P30 are affected by the phase at point 0ms, meaning that the abs values contains more inherent variability. And with that additional variability our statistical power was likely not strong 'nuff

I agree with Danai, and will add that in the Netherlands for a PhD a 2-year master (so called "research master") is preferred. Not a requirement, you can do a PhD with a 1 year master, but it can be more difficult to be accepted.

In a sense showering different sources with phase delays is what a traveling wave is.
