We also found that our participants struggled to estimate beauty variance. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of the heterogeneity of beauty variance.

With Sasha Igdalova and Denis Pelli we show how different images may have the same mean across a population but up to a 2-fold difference in variance.

Last week I got the chance to present my work at @IAEAPalma2024 in beautiful Palma, Spain! Had a blast connecting (and reconnecting) with so many great scientists!

If you are thinking of testing visual thresholds online and are wondering if accurate fixation is possible you should definitely read our new paper! w/ @mari_pombo @PelliDenis at @NYUPsych

Do you like sad music when you are sad? Check out our new article (lead by the rockstar @AnnaBruns_ ) on how object and subject emotion relate to beauty!
So excited to share my first publication! A study on the way emotion affects our beauty judgments of images and music. Thanks to @mari_pombo for her invaluable contributions 🤗

We show consistency in online and in-lab crowding thresholds and accurate fixation during target presentation. By eliminating the need for an eye-tracker, we hope this method helps researchers conduct fixation-dependent experiments easily on much larger and more diverse samples.

EasyEyes’s ( https://t.co/ESOXnv5wY3) asks participants to track a moving crosshair with their cursor. At a random time during successful tracking, a brief target is presented in the periphery.

🚨New preprint alert!🚨 @JanKurzawski and I co-lead a project validating a new tool to ensure accurate fixation in online vision testing. The preprint is now available on bioArxiv: https://t.co/8NNg9uxOOn.

Online methods allow testing of larger, more diverse populations, with much less effort than in-lab testing. However, many psychophysical measurements, including visual crowding, require accurate eye...
