Using inattentional deafness, we show that awareness of task-irrelevant sounds mainly activates stimulus-specific sensory brain areas.

Do you like RSA analysis, M/EEG and Bayes? Then you'll love Variational RSA for M/EEG, by recently completed PhD student @alexlepauvre.bsky.social from Lucia Melloni's group. It's a method and SPM toolbox for multivariate analysis of M/EEG data. arxiv.org/pdf/2511.01784 . 🧵 [1/4]

This was a fabulous, once in a lifetime colloquium -- and now the videos are available in high quality on the College de France web site @college-de-france.fr

With talks by Edvard Moser, Nancy Kanwisher, Liz Spelke, Manuela Piazza, Luca Bonatti and more!

Great work by @abitter.bsky.social @mariogollwitzer.bsky.social @kaisassenberg.bsky.social @t-1m.bsky.social et al. on FAIR data sharing in Psychology.

They also suggest 6 simple checks that can be implemented in the editorial process to improve data FAIRness.

Unconscious perception of ensembles, assessed with a bias-discouraging 2IFC task: osf.io/preprints/ps.... Great work by @patxelos.bsky.social, @dsotob.bsky.social et al.!

New paper alert🚨
1 + 1 only equals 2 during unconscious processing!

📢Excited to share our paper, "Studying unconscious processing: Contention and consensus", published in BBS.
The paper is the result of a collaborative effort of 32 leading researchers in the field, from 10 different countries🌏

Now published — "Prevalence of Transparent Research Practices in Psychology: A Cross-Sectional Study of Empirical Articles Published in 2022" doi.org/10.1177/2515...

Both MDPI and Frontiers are full Open Access Journals. In this case, journal revenue = number of paper * OA fees per paper. High peer review standard only brings down the revenue. So OA makes papers open but are these papers still “science”? Is OA model working for a better science?

🎉 Speaker alert 🎉
Happy to announce Lucia Melloni as our second online keynote at the #MESEC Winter School 2025!
Consciousness research often feels fragmented🙍🧩
Can adversarial collaborations bridge these gaps and uncover new insights?🥼 #consci
