Had a great time presenting our prediction maps at the @assc28.bsky.social! Here is a link to the platform (github.com/EdenElbaz10/...)

So fun to present my work on calibration methods at the @assc28.bsky.social! Link to the preprint osf.io/preprints/ps...

@maorschreiber.bsky.social and @edenelbaz.bsky.social introducing suggestions for ‘best practices’ in studying unconscious processing and a novel calibration procedure tailored for finding subliminal thresholds (respectively :-)). Now at #ASSC28

1/2 #ASSC28: We have four posters for you today at 4:30. On the richness of perception: cool work by @itayyaron.bsky.social and @eylonmizrai.bsky.social. On unconscious processing: our (very efficient!) calibration method by @edenelbaz.bsky.social , >>

The tutorial super group: @niccolonegro.bsky.social , Shai Fischer, @edenelbaz.bsky.social and @maorschreiber.bsky.social Starting soon, mapping the different claims made by theories of consciousness and their relations #ASSC28

Thank you so much, @scottmcf.bsky.social! I had a great time talking about consciousness research at the Breakthrough Discuss conference in Oxford - such an amazing event! (apologies for the thumbnail 🙈)

Highly impressive work by @edenelbaz.bsky.social with the help of @itayyaron.bsky.social I’ve learned SO much during this project - and I think it would be of great interest to many researchers studying unconscious processing. Comments and thoughts are greatly welcome!

(1/7) What is the best way to estimate subliminal thresholds in unconscious processing research? In our new preprint, we present STEP, a novel calibration method designed specifically for estimating subliminal thresholds osf.io/preprints/ps...

(6/7) STEP can be used with different masking techniques, stimulus manipulations, and awareness measures, making it suitable for many paradigms. Using this simple and validated procedure can improve the reliability and robustness of findings in the field

Eden Elbaz @edenelbaz.bsky.social · May 10

(5/7) We showed that participants were both subjectively and objectively unaware of the critical stimulus, but we still found unconscious priming effects, meaning the stimulus was strong enough to be processed unconsciously. This highlights the advantage of STEP

Eden Elbaz @edenelbaz.bsky.social · May 10

(4/7) After the simulations, we ran three experiments to further validate STEP. Each included a calibration phase followed by either a motor or affective priming task

Eden Elbaz @edenelbaz.bsky.social · May 10

(3/7) We introduce the Subliminal Threshold Estimation Procedure (STEP), a novel calibration method designed specifically for unconscious processing studies. Using simulations (github.com/EdenElbaz10/...), we show that STEP performs better than existing calibration methods

Eden Elbaz @edenelbaz.bsky.social · May 10

(2/7) A major challenge in unconscious processing research is ensuring that the critical stimulus is presented subliminally, while still being strong enough to allow for unconscious processing. One way to achieve this is by calibrating stimulus strength

Now at the third level in #ISCOP: @edenelbaz.bsky.social presenting her calibration method, Maor Schreiber showcases his work with ⁦‪@francoisstock.bsky.social on guidelines for studying unconscious processes and Shai Fischer shows his work on unconscious detection of violations

Excited to be on my way to #ISCOP again! If you’re coming too, check out our posters and talks 🙏 See you all soon 😊 @ronyhirsch.bsky.social @maorschreiber.bsky.social @edenelbaz.bsky.social and Itay, Shaked & Shai!
