Ever wondered why fish and some other non mammals can regenerate their retina but we can’t? Treasure Adenusi says Swiss scientists might be close to an answer… https://medicalnewsbulletin.com/novel-stem-cells-discovered-in-human-retina/ #retinopathy #regeneration , #Neuroscience #VisionScience

New publication alert! Excited to share that our paper, "It’s Not Always the Same Eye That Dominates: Effects of Viewing Angle, Handedness and Eye Movement in 3D," will be presented at CHI 2025!

We show that eye dominance isn’t fixed but varies with task and context—challenging common assumptions in vision science and XR research.

Here is a new, shorter version of our mental imagery survey. Please if you can spare a few minutes we would appreciate if you could take this & pass it along to others who might be interested. Thanks! tstbl.co/763-452

My seminar series on "The phenomenon of Colour" starts this Friday. Sadly, I haven't been able to figure out zoom, but a couple of spots for in-person attendees are still open until Thursday!

Funded PhD opportunity! Work in Leeds and Hull with Briony Yorke, Yvonne Nyathi, Tyler Howell-Bray and me on understanding rhodopsin biochemistry in fish vision, as part of the Yorkshire Bioscience BBSRC DTP

This thread is hilarious #VisionScience

I will be holding my seminar series "The Phenomenon of Colour" again in 2025.

I am thinking of designing an info-poster for it. If any former students/participants have artwork that I can use for the posters, please feel free to send it my way !

Details of the 2025 edition:
https://tusharchauhan.com/courses/2025/the-phenomenon-of-color/

I will be adding a new seminar: "Colour and Technology" to the programme.

And that’s how you know that VSS abstracts been published:) #visionscience

In this new preprint, I survey ways in which computer graphics research can aid scientific study of art and aesthetics, and propose a description of the goals of CG research. It may be of interest to both vision scientists studying art and CG researchers.

There's other stuff I probably should be writing today, but I decided instead to put together a short essay about a fun #VisionScience toy: Crayola's 3D Sidewalk Chalk! https://benbalas.substack.com/p/hands-on-vision-science-chromodepth

It's not only vertebrates that use the stars for navigation! Vision scientist Eric Warrant and his team have now showed that a moth species uses the stars: https://europepmc.org/article/ppr/ppr853908

After more than 3 years of work, the official version of my paper on human perception of perspective—spanning concepts in human #visionscience, #arthistory, and #computationalphotography —is now online! https://jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx?articleid=2793609

My 4th year #psychology #ResearchMethods students yesterday told me they were not permitted to use #citations more that 10 years old in their undergrad essays. What??? Is this common practice? In my field (#visionscience) everything important was done in about 1910 by the Germans. Sheesh!

Here's my new paper outlining a new theory of how pictures work, specifically, how viewers understand 3D shape and space in representational art. This paper combines ideas from #visionscience, art history, and computational photography. It has been accepted to Journal of Vision. https://psyarxiv.com/c7vdr

The Centre for Vision Research (CVR) at York University is hosting their annual 'CVR-VISTA Vision Science Summer School' program for undergraduates considering graduate studies in vision science

I attended it back in 2009 and it was well worth the experience, more info here:

https://www.yorku.ca/cvr/summer-school/

I will be holding a short seminar series starting this Monday, titled:

"The Phenomenon of Color: From Newton to Darwin".

More details here: https://tusharchauhan.com/courses/the-phenomenon-of-color/

I'm afraid I couldn't figure out the zoom logistics on time, so it is in-person only.

Years ago, we discovered that saccades to moving objects, revolving about fixation, fall way short.
Now published in Journal of Vision, where we speculate about why this happens! https://jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx?articleid=2793247 All the real work was done by Jay Edelman and Reza Azadi.
