It now has some shiny new parameters (absolute direction!) and it's not bad at distinguishing individual differences in strategies too. #PsychSciSky #VisionScience13 May 2026 08:33 +0000at://did:plc:tvomy7irlmocsuxtssfptsqo/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlpvebbcds2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/scienceanna.bsky.social/post/3mjyqx7ud2223If you would like some productive procrastination, please feel free to help us out with some research on individual recognition of great spotted woodpeckers (NB: needs to be done on a laptop/computer): mzmmcerny.github.io/GSW_game/ #academicsky #ecology #ornithology https://mzmmcerny.github.io/GSW_game/21 Apr 2026 10:17 +0000at://did:plc:tvomy7irlmocsuxtssfptsqo/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjyqx7ud2223https://bsky.app/profile/scienceanna.bsky.social/post/3mhdte3mkdc2tHad a very lovely trip to @teap2026.bsky.social. A new conference to me and have had a lot of fun. Thanks to @tuennermann.bsky.social (and Iris!) for putting together the foraging symposium!

I enjoyed this RR process a lot - getting feedback at stage 1 is so helpful. Also, big shout out to all the FAB students involved in this project. https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsos.240060 #VisionScience #AcademicSky04 Dec 2024 09:50 +0000at://did:plc:tvomy7irlmocsuxtssfptsqo/app.bsky.feed.post/3lchuvq5cys2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/scienceanna.bsky.social/post/3kdtpdabjmz2aHappy news for a Friday - the first RR I've been involved in is out: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0010945223002678. We did some pretty nerdy modelling trying to replicate (and extend?) Target Contrast Theory.
