re you local to the central belt in Scotland? Would you like to try and solve a (mock) case in our Virtual Reality Lab?

Our VR Interactive Lineup study is currently recruiting participants. See our website for details and booking!

Does anyone here have a copy of Marks 1995 (VVIQ-2) paper? My students contacted the author, but he no longer has a copy and could not signpost us where to get one. If anyone can help,I would be very grateful!

Looking for advice on booking system that is usable for multiple lab members (students and staff) & where more than one participant can book the same slot (2) using a direct link. A link that would display all slots to book from and once two 'spaces' are taken per slot, disappears from view. 1/n

I am looking to create a lab code of conduct/manual/safety check type document outlining the ethos of how we work. Could anyone point me in the direction of a good (open source) example covering safety, comms, working with others etc.? Or would anyone be willing to share theirs? Thank you!

People say international solidarity cannot work, and yet eduroam.

I am on Farage's list of ILR-ners to be deported, should they win the next election. I honestly can't remember when I last got so angry. Good start of the week here 👌

We're looking to appoint a new administrator for our Social Sciences Impact Acceleration Account. This would be a great role for a graduate with good administrative skills who wants to learn a lot more about the non-academic impact of research

Week 1 is here & suddenly there is so much to do, I don't know where to start (or when to stop). And that's not even my 'busy' half of the year. 🙈 On the plus side, my group of final years is super engaged, chatty, and they seem really keen to get on with their study, so today ends on a high!

When calculating a correlation we sometimes apply a correction for attenuation due to reliability.
Has anyone ever suggested a similar correction for a between-groups comparison?
After all, reliability of the DV affects those the same way (and they are often just a dichotomised correaltion).

An interesting article in the Conversation by Prof. David Comerford from Stirling on the dangers of AI-generated science. Psychology scores brownie points for improvements made in transparent reporting.

I don't often laugh out loud, but this is stand-up value.

yes

Just submitted a paper (exciting!) but - why do journals still ask for phone numbers? Did anyone ever got a call from Sage or Elsevier?!

I've spent all day looking at student projects' data and debugging R code with copilot (saving my more knowledgeable colleagues 'why does this not work again' questions) and I can honestly say this was the most fun day in the office I had in a very long time!

'This condition impacts every aspect of my life' - a new paper from our lab about the lived experience of Developmental Prosopagnosia is out in @plosone.org .

You can read the publication (open access) here: journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

This looks really interesting. I remember Sarah Weigelt had a poster at ECVP in Nejmegen about a human case with similar low level deficits but intact higher level abilities (faces)!
