Recent reports showed violations of Bloch's law (aka intensity-duration reciprocity) in visual perception.
Me and @axc.bsky.social reassessed these violations using a modern LCD-based tachistoscope:

Absolutely incredible work led by @patxelos.bsky.social and @dsotob.bsky.social - such a compelling case of unconscious perception! Privileged to have been a little part of this 🧠
1/Preprint Alert🔔: Across two experiments plus a computational model, we show the visual system compresses complex scenes into summary statistics that can guide behavior without conscious access to the task-defining features. We term this the Ensemble Blindsight effect.

NEW: Elon Musk’s X has suspended accounts of Turkish opposition groups, suppressing footage of anti-government protests.
So, best we share all the footage we can here!
This was last night’s massive demo against Erdogan’s government, which follows the arrest of his rival Ekrem İmamoğlu.
