Check out the introductory online source offered by centerstat and the accompanying resources provided by Bauer & Curran, as well as the excellent and very accessible textbooks authored by Kline (4th Ed from 2016 and 5th Ed from 2023).

This is so interesting! Congrats on the publication. I’m wondering if a similar approach could improve our understanding of the mechanisms in my field (eating disorders).

This was my favourite book as a teenager! I must have read it 100+ times. I re-purchased the four-book set as an adult. Neither of my versions have photographs - I think I prefer having Alanna exists only in my imagination.

Is perceptual novelty important in your research? We created, standardised, and validated a database of truly novel perceptual stimuli (matched to BOSS objects on size, contrast, luminance & colourfulness) so you don't have to! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
