An array of 9 purple discs on a blue background. Figure from Hinnerk Schulz-Hildebrandt.
A nice shift in perceived colour between central and peripheral vision. The fixated disc looks purple while the others look blue.
The effect presumably comes from the absence of S-cones in the fovea.

Maybe appealing to people trying to get out of the US.
lecturer = asst prof
sr lecturer = assoc prof
reader = assoc prof with better transition probability to full prof than a sr lecturer
Science
Science matters!
Always fun to spot someone famous in public, like at IKEA @patricknessbooks.bsky.social
We are looking for an AI ML engineer to join us. Together, we are going to build cutting-edge prototypes, technologies, and toolsets that can define a paradigm shift in how we interact with our surroundings
Please apply or share with your networks! www.metacareers.com/jobs/6320865...
Our team solves complex challenges in behavioral inference from sparse information. We leverage multimodal, egocentric data and cutting edge machine learning to deliver robust, efficient models that serve everyone.
Research Engineer - Machine Learning for Behavioral AI
Meta’s Reality Labs Research brings together a world-class team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create the future of Mixed Reality (MR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Wearable Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Great!
Thank you for the invitation and great questions!
Excellent first 2025 BIGTALK by @michaelproulx.bsky.social! Preferences for eye tracking targeting, scan paths not fixations for activity recognition, implicit gaze as unique fingerprint, shoutout to Bristol’s egocentric computer vision @dimadamen.bsky.social. Human experience and inclusion are key!
Michael Proulx @michaelproulx.bsky.social is kicking off a new year of BIG TALK this Thursday at 2pm GMT with "Eye tracking in extended reality," discussing his research at University of Bath & Reality Labs Research (Meta née Oculus). Join us online, all welcome! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/big-talk-m...
Approach 1: DeepMReye
A deep learning framework for camera-less #EyeTracking in #fMRI. It decodes gaze position from eye-voxel patterns, is highly accurate, and works in existing data and eyes-closed (e.g., rest, sleep)!

New paper! We studied how media, other social pressures, and our senses contribute to how we feel about our bodies by focusing on people with or without visual impairments. This work is open access and free for all to read journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.... @alealisousa.bsky.social
