🚨 Come work with us! A 3-year postdoc position is available in my group, focusing on gaze interactions in real and virtual environments. The job ad is only in German, since a certain level of German proficiency is required. Please share widely! @biodgps-dgpa.bsky.social

I might be biased, but what an inspiring #VR symposium at #PuG25 🤩 This field still develops so fast 🚀as showcased by the integration of neurophysiology, multi-user settings and clinical application. Thanks to @martandreatta.bsky.social, @leonkroczek.bsky.social, @michaelgaebler.com and Marius Rubo!

You can find our pre-reg here: osf.io/e4rbd But, of course, we now learned a lot about this new paradigm and we might recommend adjusting some things for similar studies. If you’re interested, we could have a call to discuss this 😊

@jannateigeler.bsky.social opening PuG2025 symposia 🚀 presenting our gaze-based approach-avoidance task #AAT 👀 Turns out it’s actually hard to transfer traditional AAT paradigms to #eye-tracking. Attention is likely influenced by additional factors like salience and arousal🔥

🚨 New study reveals that when used to summarize scientific research, generative AI is nearly five times less accurate than humans. Many haven't realized, but Gen AI's accuracy problem is worse than initially thought.

In addition, we provided further evidence for a cardiovascular hyperarousal 🫀↗️ in social anxiety, which was not limited to social situations and not modulated by the pressure to adhere to social norms.

Sabrina Gado @sabrinagado.bsky.social · 06/11/2024
Instead, we could show that social anxiety affects social exploration behavior not in a way of general avoidance 🚫, but rather in nuanced adaptations 🌈 depending on the concrete situation, perceived control, likelihood of interaction and associated socio-evaluative threat.

Sabrina Gado @sabrinagado.bsky.social · 06/11/2024
We expected socially anxious participants to show avoidance of potentially crowded spaces 🚷, reduced visual attention on other people 👀, and heightened physiological arousal in social situations 🫀.

Our pre-screened participants with varying trait social anxiety scores went for a walk on a freely chosen route 👣 and then had a staged social interaction with a confederate 👥. We recorded the chosen route 📍, gaze behavior 👀, and autonomic responses 🫀.

These results imply that social attention is less automatic and reflexive than previously assumed and can be suppressed by executive control to efficiently maintain goal-directed behavior 🤝

Sabrina Gado @sabrinagado.bsky.social · 28/09/2024
Overall, participants were more likely to look at the CSpos 🎯. Their first saccade was hereby mostly driven towards the social CSpos.

Sabrina Gado @sabrinagado.bsky.social · 28/09/2024
In Experiment 2, we included an attentional competition phase, during which participants were confronted with simultaneous presentations of social and non-social CSpos and CSneg.

Sabrina Gado @sabrinagado.bsky.social · 28/09/2024
It turned out: Participants could adapt their looking behavior and avoided looking towards punished stimuli – social or not 👏. Nevertheless ☝️, they were still faster in looking towards social stimuli.

Sabrina Gado @sabrinagado.bsky.social · 28/09/2024
We presented social (faces) and non-social (fractals) stimuli serving as CSpos or CSneg. If participants looked at the CSpos, they were rewarded with points 🏆. However, if they looked at the CSneg, they received an aversive electrical stimulation⚡ (Experiment 1) or lost points ❌ (Experiment 2).

There was no association between trait social anxiety 😨 and hypervigilance, but we observed higher fear ratings and enhanced avoidance of social threats in participants with elevated anxiety levels.

Sabrina Gado @sabrinagado.bsky.social · 13/04/2024
After initial hypervigilance 👀, participants exhibited avoidance of social threats as indicated by a higher interpersonal distance ↔️ and decreased visual attention towards the negatively conditioned virtual agent.
