We've got some presentations coming up at Psychonomics. Dr Giovanna Del Sordo will be giving a talk (on using pupillometry to explore active/passive sustained attention) and Dr Eben Daggett will be presenting a poster (on how AI can be trained on human similarity data). Come on by!

I’m very happy and proud to announce that Eben Daggett has successfully completed his PhD. His dissertation (involving a ton of behavioral data collection and modeling) was on similarity perception and representationally-aligned artificial intelligence. Congratulations, Dr. Daggett!

Our VR lab is now opened for expanded use (beyond research). Through a partnership with NMSU Global, we're opening the space for student development and class projects. Our hopes for the future are to create capacity for students and faculty to work on developing VR environments for use in research.

Very nice to get a nod to the work that we just published in BRM, using MDS to model the similarity of 1200 objects that can be used to control visual similarity in experiments in attention, memory, and more.
