If you're a #visionscience or #psychscisky person starting to think about student dissertation projects, you might be interested in our visual search/foraging experiment code at github.com/scienceanna/.... You can configure everything via CSV files (lots of options!) and it all runs on Psychopy.

@riadsala.bsky.social and I have been spending a long time thinking about modelling visual foraging. v2 model glow up: 1) it can account for individual diffs in lots of summary stats 2) it can deal with 'outliers' really nicely and 3) it should be easier to use! osf.io/preprints/ps...

A little pre-print for your Monday morning #visionscience: www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-6.... This was a fun, if slightly wacky project... would love to hear any thoughts/critiques!! @riadsala.bsky.social
Designing a test battery for real-world visual search
Although much research has investigated the mechanisms of visual search behaviour in laboratory-based computer tasks,there has been relatively little work on whether these results generalise to more n...

A little paper about foraging with @riadsala.bsky.social. I enjoyed this RR process a lot - getting feedback at stage 1 is so helpful. Also, big shout out to all the FAB students involved in this project. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... #VisionScience #AcademicSky
The effect of target scarcity on visual foraging | Royal Society Open Science
Previous studies have investigated the effect of target prevalence in combination
with the effect of explicit target value on human visual foraging strategies, though
the conclusions have been mixed. ...

Happy news for a Friday - the first RR I've been involved in is out: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti.... We did some pretty nerdy modelling trying to replicate (and extend?) Target Contrast Theory. Thanks to our infinitely patient reviewers and Editor over the last 2 years... #VisionScience
