🚨 New #Review #Preprint 🚨 Veera Ruuskanen proposes a new, concrete framework to understand how and why pupil size 👁️, neural activity 🧠, and behavior 💃 interact. https://doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/mkdgc_v1 #psychology #neuroscience #pupillometry #perception

New popscience piece on why pupil size changes are cool:
https://psyche.co/ideas/the-pupil-of-the-eye-opens-a-remarkable-window-into-the-mind

Included: an assignment that lets you measure pupil size that I developed for teaching. In my classes, this replicates Hess & Polt's 1964 effort finding without an eyetracker. Feel free to use it!

Thanks a lot to Christian Jarrett of Psyche.co for all the work on editing.

I did a #pupillometry study! And I got a result!

Leaving labels vague for now (come see my posters at AMLaP next month for details!), but lookit! Pupils are larger when Condition is Hard than when it is Easy!

New #preprint with Martin Schaefer and Artin Arshamian, showing that pupil size 👁️ peaks during exhalation as compared to inhalation. 🫁 Interesting question for the future: does this correlation have behavioral consequences?https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.06.27.599713 #pupillometry #psychology

Do you care about pupillometry? We need to rewrite its history in neurosciences and psychology. Now @TrendsNeuro

A rediscovery of the forgotten early wave of pupillometry research – effort, covert attention, imagery all made visible by 1900 in a fascinating literature. https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1jKdtbotq3zQC

New preprint! We observed a nonlinear relationship between pupil dilation and the intensity of transcutaneous auricular #vagus nerve stimulation (#taVNS) in adult humans. We discuss the potential role of stimulation parameterization in using #pupillometry as biomarker of taVNS’s neuromodulatory effects.

Our new #trendsinhearing paper is out!
We found evidence that anticipation of upcoming listening difficulty impacted baseline pupil size and the shape of the task-evoked pupil response during 60-sec story listening.
Led by former UMD postdoc Mike Johns in collaboration with @jzsimon and many others.

The 🥇 Dutch Pupillometry Symposium is underway! 50+ attendees interested in #pupillometry. Thanks for putting this together @c_strauch ! #psychology

I just posted the first wrap-up video in the Pupillometry online course we started this week, with Professor Bruno Laeng answering some questions from learners.

It is not too late to join if you want to learn about #Pupillometry and #EyeTracking. The course runs for six weeks, with a workload of 2-3 hours per week. And it is free!

#StillStanding 016 in group room 1 at ZEB between two meetings. Busy day with launching two MOOCs (#Pupillometry and #MotionCapture), so my standstill level was not the best.

I have added waveforms and inverted motiongrams to the combined plot. This is undoubtedly becoming too busy, now is the time to start simplifying...
