The next steps in our funded research on eye movements in fatigue involve some fancy AI and supercomputing! https://t.co/8fPpcKcTbx

We hope you've spotted the news that we're 12th in the UK in the new Guardian University Guide. Our Vice-Chancellor had the chance to tell The Guardian all about how our student-focused approach has helped us rise up the rankings. https://t.co/YKentaHhDr

We know plenty about covert attention in lab settings, but not much about how people spontaneously use it in social situations. It is hidden, but critical. It's like the dark matter of real world cognition and behaviour. 4/4

BUT, it is actually in real situations (complex, social, active) where that assumption is most likely to be false. We use covert attention (attending without moving the eyes) so that we can avoid signalling to other people. 3/4

People working with eyetrackers (including me) often assume that where someone is looking is what they are attending to (what is called the "eye-mind assumption"). This is particularly true if you try to do "real-world" research... 2/4

Here's a short thread about our paper in @TrendsCognSci https://t.co/a0HD3wB9b0... 1/4

Association of autistic traits with inference generation in visual narratives https://t.co/2iFyY4AgEZ

On gaze vs attention, autism-relevant, free https://t.co/TO31uEue62 "in live situations, where the eyes signal information, people may naturally avert their gaze while covertly tracking others... with the eyes effectively sending a false signal as to where attention is directed"

New article: 🔍Cognitive load affects gaze dynamics during real-world tasks 🧐 by @geangu_elena, @TomFoulsh, Gavrila and Mishra @YorkPsychology @EssexPsychology 1/n https://t.co/7LbNcMbvyV

Essex is leading a £1.2m project to uncover if mental fatigue and lapses in concentration are reflected through your eyes. The revolutionary project will look to reveal how eye movements and pupil dilation reflect just how tired you really are. https://t.co/fs6Zg7uZ6f

Also, do you like humans, robots and pizza? If so, you should check out the special sessions at IAS-19 in Genoa... https://t.co/YBpBwhyIlY I'm helping plan one with @dimitriOgnibene and others.

@ResearchEssex This is a great opportunity to work in an applied setting with partners including @Solvemed and @BrainInTheMind. And there will be fun remote eye tracking experiments too!

We are looking for TWO postdocs as part of our funded project on AI, fatigue and eye movement metrics! Please spread the word (one post is more machine learning, the other is more psychology testing)... https://t.co/Qke1HNrcJC https://t.co/5UnLKuo3uS @ResearchEssex

Also, like most sane people I am now on bluesky here: @tomfoulsh.bsky.social

Having a good time this week hanging out with super smart people in Milan @unimib! Lots of pizza and AI chat

There's still time to apply to begin your MSc in Psychology in January - and now with a part time option! Accredited by the British Psychological Society, get hands-on research experience and learn from highly skilled instructors!

Work from @sebkorb and lab @ResearchEssex covered here...

I particularly dislike this bit. To be clear, if you "switch to peripheral vision" then you won't be able to read, drive etc. I think people will notice that! And I'm not familiar with any research about this, the vagus nerve and relaxation.
