Australian election called against Dutton and the Coalition. I almost want to cry a little - didn't realise how badly I needed this to happen. There was a lot at stake in this election but I know a lot of marginalised people are breathing a sigh of relief.

⚠️New paper! If you like multisensory temporal perception, this one has HEAPS for you. We looked at simultaneity perception, simple RTs, race model inequality, serial dependence (recalibration), modality shift costs, musicians, and more! Findings summarised below 1/10

Officiating of Arsenal games is enough to make me want to forget everything I've learned about human biases from a PhD in psychology and conclude that league refs actually are corrupt. Because at this point I basically think so. Makes 3 pts even more satisfying tho!

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold.
We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940.
2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.

Spotify Wrapped top artist was Molly Nilsson 😍 I guess I flogged her new album harder than I thought. Special mention to Keanu Nelson, an Indigenous Australian artist I discovered this year who made my top 5. Check out the song Kutjupa Tjuta!

I have recently started using Pack & Go, and it's as easy as they make it sound. Upload your PTB code, and hey presto you have your experiment in a browser.
Why did we choose the name “Pack&Go?”
We wanted a name that showcased just how easy it is to put MATLAB/PTB studies online. Just upload your scripts to the online portal, test, and start distributing links.
It's that easy—just Pack... and GO!
