What do the inattentionally blind see? In by far the largest empirical project I've been involved in, @NartkerMakaela finds striking sensitivity to the colour, shape + location of "unseen" stimuli, as well as substantial bias not to report it. Check her pre-print out below 👇👀🦍

Congratulations, Chaz! So well-deserved, and so lucky to have you as a colleague!

Started reading my (free PDF!) of Nick Shea's Concepts at the Interface this morning. Already evident how deeply informed & deeply thought out a book it is -- philosophical cognitive science at its v best. Want to think about thinking? Download it here:

So long #VSS2024, and thanks for all the #phiVis!

Sensitivity to visual features in inattentional blindness https://t.co/z9P74UMznx by @chazfirestone @ibphillips et al.; "the strongest evidence to date of significant residual visual sensitivity in IB, and even cast doubt on claims that awareness requires attention"

Ian Phillips (@ibphillips) introducing vision scientists to Sellars and the “manifest image”. Standing room only at #phiVis #VSS2024 @VSSMtg

It's @VSSMtg week! So excited to share this year's projects from the lab, including brand new research directions and some deep dives on foundational issues. More info @ https://t.co/DzEvdKu86o. See you on the 🏖! #VSS2024

@chazfirestone & I are thrilled to present "phiVis: Philosophy of Vision Science Workshop," May 21 @VSSMtg! Philosophers talk, scientists comment. 2024's line-up: – @ibphillips | @jeremymwolfe – Rosa Cao | @talia_konkle – Tiina Rosenqvist | @BevilConway https://t.co/npNoNXeKWD

Today at NMO‼️ Ian Phillips (Johns Hopkins) -- Awareness survives inattention @ibphillips h16-18 CET / h15-17 GMT join at

@NartkerMakaela @chazfirestone @NeuralMech @attninaction You can join at: https://t.co/UdCO2NLjNW More info here:

Really looking forward to presenting this work on visual sensitivity & awareness in inattentional blindness by @NartkerMakaela, @chazfirestone, Howard Egeth & myself @NeuralMech this Fri -- and especially to discussing with @attninaction & others! See below for some homework 👇

We are happy to announce the next NMO24 webinar 📣 Friday 22, h16-18 CET / h15-17 GMT Ian Phillips -- Awareness survives inattention @ibphillips join at 👇 https://t.co/4yjXY4aGEB more info here:

How good are we at knowing what we would think and do if our beliefs were different? In a new preprint with @chazfirestone and @ibphillips, we use pretense behavior to show that the answer is *remarkably good* https://t.co/gMHSAUOafC A thread 🧵(1/7)

Can physics solve the problem(s) of consciousness? In our latest book review for @ScienceMagazine, @chazfirestone and I weigh in. (Spoiler: certainly not without help!) https://t.co/qAfRXOqL24

There is a super exciting postdoctoral opportunity here @JohnsHopkins @jhu_philosophy, spearheaded by EJ Green in connection with our 'Foundations of Mind' group. Take a look, and watch this space for more! 👇 https://t.co/pfVWYhMU6V

I'm looking for a post-doc to work on my #episodicmemory project! If you're interested in how we can use artificial implementations of episodic memory in AI to help us understand episodic memory in biological systems, hit me up :) More on the project here:

What do illusions tell us about silence? In the latest podcast, Ian Phillips, Rui Zhe Goh, and Chaz Firestone of @JohnsHopkins explored whether we perceive silence or simply infer it when there is a lack of sound. Listen now: https://t.co/2ocXytXUTr

This week on Sound Expertise: do we hear silence the same way we hear sound? A conversation with @chazfirestone about his lab's groundbreaking new perception study, and the intersection of science and the humanities https://t.co/6KFrwYJgrE or wherever you listen!
