I climbed for a couple of years at university, it's so much fun! Although for my first few weeks I couldn't open jars because my forearms hurt so much! - Sarah

Xueyi Huang (working with
@jorge-morales.bsky.social
at Northeastern) presented her work on Experiment 2A at @assc28.bsky.social over the summer. See her poster here:

Meet the team: Saïd-Iraj Hashemi

Saïd-Iraj is a PhD student in neurophysiology at ULB working on Experiment 3. His work investigates the (mis)alignment between lived experience and perceptual processing through the study of evoked potentials and oscillatory brain activity. www.arc-ethos.org/news

🚨🚨🚨 The Subjectivity Lab is looking for a lab manager! The position is available immediately. We want someone who can help coordinate our large sample fMRI study, plus other behavioral work. Because *gestures at everything* the job was approved only now (ends in June 2026). Great opportunity! 🧵 1/4

ETHOS had our first in-person meeting on Friday, September 12th in Brussels. It was exciting to see all the experiments coming together! www.arc-ethos.org/news

Xueyi Huang (working with @jorge-morales.bsky.social at Northeastern) presented her work on Experiment 2A at the Vision Sciences Society meeting in Florida. Read the abstract here:
