My first first-author paper, from the first half of my Master’s (almost 3 years ago, wow) is out! Happy to finally share! 👁️
Stay tuned, there's more coming soon!

Another study by @cvanbuck.bsky.social. Results similar to our preprint: pupil size is a reliable overall measure of bright/ dark processing, but this effect does not (or only very weakly) correlate with individual differences in #mentalimagery / #aphantasia

Could we, and how to empirically study unconscious mental imagery? Open questions on both conceptual and methodological perspectives

🚨 #Preprint alert 🚨 A multilab study led by Claire Vanbuckave investigated whether the strength of pupil responses to imagined brightness/ darkness reflect differences in vividness of mental imagery. We found … 👇 1/3 🧵 #psychology #aphantasia #pupillometry #mentalimagery

Pupil size reflects moment-to-moment fluctuations in mental imagery, but not (or hardly) individual differences in imagery
Previous research has shown that the eyes' pupils are larger when imaging dark as compared to bright objects or scenes. Based on this, it has been claimed that pupil size is a sensitive marker of ment...
