The way in which objects are positioned in space, in relation to each other, can make visual exploration more or less efficient. How?
We answer this question in a visual search study co-authored with @GoupilNico and Daniel Kaiser

In a visual search task, we manipulated the the task parameters and the object domain (social/people or non-social/objects), revealing different ways in which perceived social interaction (between people) or functional interaction (between objects) affect visual search 1/4

In sum, visual search generally benefits from meaningful relations between items, whether social or functional/contextual. In addition, interacting people have a unique However, only people readily attract attention when interacting.
More generally, we showed how new perceptual units emerge from higher-level relations such as social interaction or functional association, impacting the way in which individuals parse the visual world. /end

In a task that allowed for attentional capture, dyads of interacting people (but not objects) were found more easily than non-interacting people, suggesting that social interaction may work as a guiding feature for the deployment of attention.

When the task prompted serial search through the array, distractors arranged in interacting pairs facilitated the search for a target. This shows that items in meaningful relations are grouped, effectively reducing the number of distractors to process. See also https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1400559111# 2/4

Our lab is looking for a postdoc! We study the neural basis of social vision using a combination of (naturalistic) neuroimaging, behavior, and computational modeling. More details on the lab and position are at our website: isiklab.org
Please boost :)

Please RT: My lab is recruiting a postdoc to work on individual differences of plasticity in blindness: how brain #plasticity manifests in different #blind individuals, and how that may account for their compensatory skills and use of assistive devices.

SAMP Lab - Opportunities

We are looking for a passionate and dedicated postdoctoral researcher to work on individual differences in plasticity in blindness. The SAMP lab explores brain organization and experience-dependent plasticity by studying people born blind, deaf, or without hands, using behavioral and fMRI

@GunnarBlohm who knows whether this is the right thing. Partisans stayed and fought…

After sufficient lurking, here is my #introduction

I’m a #computational #cognitive #neuroscientist and asst. prof. at JHU Cog Sci studying social vision. Our lab uses a combination of human behavior, neuroimaging and computational modeling to understanding how humans can so effortlessly extract rich social information from the visual world around them.

Our recent work relies heavily on naturalistic neuroimaging and state of the art modeling (such as graph neural networks and disentangled representation learning). You can learn more/find papers on our website: isiklab.org
