🚨New paper alert🚨 Does joint attention affect an individual's multisensory perception? @lucasbattich @IGarzorz @BasilWahn & @OpheliaDeroy show that joint attention doesn't affect the rate of audiovisual illusions, even though people are faster & less biased by sounds

New publication in JEP:HPP @APA_Journals with @konigpeter & Alan Kingstone: We found that humans use external reference points to divide task labor. Also, they are willing to forgo an individual bias (& benefit) to boost group performance. @BARlabUBC psycnet.apa.org/record/2021-…

Interpersonal coordination in joint multiple object tracking.

People often perform visual tasks together, for example, when looking for a misplaced key. When performing such tasks jointly, people coordinate their actions to divide the labor, for example, by...

📣 New paper alert! What does "civil inattention" 👀 (not looking directly at someone in order to be polite) mean for how we look things in the space near other people? We used eye-tracking to find out. authors.elsevier.com/a/1cXDI… @BARlabUBC @UBCPsych @BasilWahn

New publication in AP&P @BARlabUBC with Francesca Capozzi, Jelena Ristic, & Alan Kingstone. We found that prior attentional bias is modulated by social gaze. That is, bias compatible gazes *enhance* the bias and bias incompatible gazes *lower* the bias. doi.org/10.3758/s13414-020-0…
