Last week I officially received the three-yearly ASL Research Award for Human Sciences. Thanks to Academische Stichting Leuven for granting me this important recognition for my PhD research. As winner I was invited to ASL's podcast, have a listen here: open.spotify.com/episode/07Zu...
Last week I had the pleasure of visiting the Centre for Brain Research at the Jagiellonian University in Krakau, and giving a talk at the Institute of Psychology! Thank you very much @marekpedziwi.bsky.social and @antoniafranaszek.bsky.social for the invite and interesting discussions!

Very pleased to share that our article on preferences for complexity at different levels of order is now out in PACA! 🎉Not all types of complexity were appreciated similarly, but all were liked better under high order!

Congratulations, Dr. Pistolas!
Congratulations Dr. Pistolas! Our PhD student @eleftheriapistolas.bsky.social successfully defended her PhD this week! We congratulate her on this achievement and her hard work and thank the jury members for their questions. Well done!
I am delighted to share that on October 6 I successfully defended my PhD thesis titled “Inside-out dynamics of multisensory perception: A mixed-methods approach from laboratory to art contexts” and obtained the degree: Doctor of Psychology!

At @ecvp.bsky.social Demo Night, @lisa-kossmann.bsky.social and I held the OCTA-QIP challenge: use the OCTA toolbox to create the least balanced or most HOG complex stimulus as measured with the QIP machine of the Aesthetics Toolbox! Below we showcase some of the submissions for both contests!

It was a pleasure introducing PsyNet and its many applications at the Laboratory for Experimental Social Psychology today! Thanks @felixhermans.bsky.social for the invitation and all PsyNet developers, incl. @pmcharrison.bsky.social and @norijacoby.bsky.social for creating such an amazing platform!
Tremendously grateful to @elinevg.bsky.social for providing an introduction to PsyNet (www.psynet.dev) at the Laboratory for Experimental Social Psychology in KU Leuven today!
PsyNet is a new platform uniquely suited to crafting complex experimental designs in an efficient manner!
