I got back from Stockholm Monday night, sick, tired and with exploded eardrums but I had a wonderful time none the less visiting Martin, who I met at Folsom Berlin this year. 🖤 Here's some pictures from when we went to the Paradox Museum.
We also went to the ABBA museum. 😅
I also had my first sauna/ice bath. Very relaxing!
But most importantly, we got to be together.

A standard #opticalillusion triggers specific neurons in the #visual system of mice.
“Illusions are fun, but they are also a gateway to perception,” says Hyeyoung Shin, assistant professor of neuroscience at Seoul National Universitym first author of a new study in Nature Neuroscience that identified a specific population of neurons in #visualcortex—dubbed IC-encoders—and shows a direct role in representing a visual illusion.

Why do we need dithering? | Dan Hollick

Before we all mute the word 'dithering' I thought I'd explain a little bit about why we needed to dither digital images in the first place. Although it's an aesthetic now, we used to need dithering to trick our eyes into seeing more colors than were actually there. 👇
