Really cool series of studies on our ability to process briefly presented visual stimuli
12/12 In sum, this innovative method allowed us to uncover the visual system's processing priorities and offers a promising alternative to masking and interocular suppression. Crucially, whenever we tested for meaningful information extraction, we found evidence of awareness.

Our reporting found dozens of injured soldiers originally weren't awarded Purple Hearts, despite appearing to qualify, because for fear of undercutting Trump's assertion that the injuries were minor. Following our report, they Army reversed course and awarded them the honor.

The project had earlier announced loss of funding and imminent closure. That is simply an unacceptable outcome and the broader community is activating to put the project back on its feet. Please spread the word and support it however you can. (4/4) https://t.co/YA0gf7rbeL

Last week, we shared the heartbreaking news that Callisto was going to have to close its doors, due to a lack of funding… ...unless there was a miracle. The response was OVERWHELMING .
