Hey #visionscience friends - I'm looking to touch base with someone who knows lots about color, esp. contrast/assimilation effects. I'm working on a video about something and I'm worried I'm getting tangled up in part of the explanation. Thanks!
Here's a striking visual illusion - the 9 purple dots.
Focus your eyes on the top left dot. That one is more purple than the others, right? Now try another dot... that one becomes the purple one! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41744429/
Unfortunately, no. Not at this time. Best of luck with your job search!

She and Rev Bayes should throw themselves a pity party!
So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

Y'all? Never again is now.
Twin cities resident here. Why is the NY Times using their resources to interview and write this article where rural people are bashing the Twin Cities. We are under invasion by ice agents. There was another shooting last night. People are getting dragged out of their houses. US citizens are being detained. They are pulling people over indiscriminately just because they look a certain way. There is so much bad stuff happening and the news is not even capturing the full extent. Please spend more resources covering this. Not interviewing people who do not understand what is happening. What is happening here is terrifying and needs to be the front page of every newspaper. National news does not seem to be getting it. All NY Times resources in Mn need to be spent on documenting the brutal behavior of the Feds. People need to understand what could be coming to them. Here in the Twin Cities I feel like we have been completely abandoned by government. Local governments are unable to stop the brutalisation of their residents. It is traumatic and it is institutional betrayal.
Read your comment section, NYT.
Happy start of the semester! Coming back from sabbatical and immediately facing a flood of student emails inspired me to repost this hack (I've used the accommodation letter one 10x already today).

I’m at Times Square, where an emergency “No War On Venezuela” protest just took to the street. Easily a thousand people here in real-feel 20°F weather.
“No more coups, no more wars, Venezuela’s not yours!”
“No boots on the ground no bombs in the air, U.S. out of everywhere!”
