Thoughts on the relations with Dijinkstra et al 2022's proposed concept of perceptual reality monitoring?

@dbrang.bsky.social The Brang lab at UMich has an unpublished case study on a synaesthete with something similar! This could all fit together!

Another blow to hustle culture quoting my colleague, the amazing Dr. Giulia Poerio!

yeah Galton was big in psych & stats! yet as Darwin's cousin he was super into the genetic/heritability component of all of the traits he was studying.

Cultural Synesthesia An intermingling of the senses creates not just a different way of perceiving the world, but a window into your past, like psychological amber.

unfortunately galton is actually the og evil scientist that tried to breed superhumans when he noticed that synesthesia (perceptual phenomenon) is hereditary.

i also have hot takes on how public interest in what knowledge is and how it's produced aligns with open access debates, publication industry hoarding, and the growing emphasis on public engagement outside of the academy

great thread!

academia is all about the balance of knowledge consumption versus production. what does it mean to be an "expert" in your field in an era where the internet "knows" all?

Hey #academicsky, what is your best tip for staying on top of new literature?? 👩‍💻

I just started using Stork for weekly pub round-ups 📓 So far I like it better than google scholar alerts because of the keyword features, but I'm also open to any new tools & suggestions!🕵️

Just signed up as a mentor for this fabulous program! Remember how stressful applying to grad school is? Give back to other grad students by helping them with their applications.

Very interesting paper! Doesn't directly mention synesthesia but does discuss the popular inhibitory feedback theory. Any thoughts on the implications for synesthesia mechanisms?

We built the openESM database:

Because *gestures at everything* the job was approved only now (ends in June 2026). Great opportunity! 🧵 1/4

Neural correlates of boundary extension during visual imagination People typically remember seeing a greater expanse of a scene than was visible in a studied close-up (boundary extension, BE). Multivoxel pattern analysis was used to test the neural correlates of BE....

Boundary extension indicates that our memory of how much content was in the periphery is larger than what we actually viewed in the first place

Investigating the role of mental imagery use in the assessment of anhedonia Anhedonia, or a deficit in the liking, wanting, and seeking of rewards, is typically assessed via self-reported “in-the-moment” emotional and motivational responses to reward stimuli and activities...

Sounds like that relates to what Pascal Wallisch was doing with music appraisement, but I can't find the publication for it.

Are you referring to this paper?
