Check out our fantastic new EnvisionBOX intro video made by Markus Küpper! This video and nomination really feels like another step in professionalizing the platform and making it even more visible, and so hopefully becoming useful to even more people. Thanks everyone for the nominations!

🚨 New preprint: Invisible neural frequency tagging (RIFT) for the underfunded researcher:
👉 www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

RIFT uses high-frequency flicker to probe attention in M/EEG with minimal stimulus visibility and little distraction. Until now, it required a costly high-speed projector.

Rapid Invisible Frequency Tagging (RIFT) with a consumer monitor: A proof-of-concept

Rapid Invisible Frequency Tagging (RIFT) enables neural frequency tagging at rates above the flicker fusion threshold, eliciting steady-state responses to flicker that is almost imperceptible. While R...

On my way back from my last conference/event of the academic year! It's been so fun to meet so many great people doing cool stuff. I certainly have inspiration to last the summer! Thanks for organizing this @adw.bsky.social , and for letting me pick your brain about affordances for 3 days! #EWEP16

A couple of days late to post this, but this is one of the great things about in person conferences: getting to hang out with people in very different, non-work settings! Had a great time on Sunday canoeing in Utrecht with @ashleydemarchena.bsky.social , who is normally only see on Zoom!

Very happy to have contributed to this review, with excellent direction from @ashleydemarchena.bsky.social , on communication in autistic adults! It was a fun experience to think about how to translate the findings into practical suggestions for clinicians

Ashley de Marchena ☕️ @ashleydemarchena.bsky.social · Jun 23

Our new review explores how autistic adults experience & express communication – and how environments & partners shape that. We spotlight AAC, nonverbals, double empathy, & more. Plus: practical tips for clinicians & researchers to be better communication partners and allies.

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays.

Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn.
