1/ Do we all experience the world in the same way? My #BigIdea piece for the The Guardian Guardian Science is out now. I talk about our new study - The Perception Census - which is open to everyone (18+) anywhere in the world theguardian.com/books/2022/oct…

Could #ThePerceptionCensus be the first psychology experiment to be advertised on the tube? Do give it a go if you can - you'll help our research into perceptual diversity, and you'll learn more about your own powers of perception too. 🍋🏃🏽‍♂️perceptioncensus.dreamachine.world

"It may seem that the world just pours itself directly into our minds through the windows of our eyes and our ears. But psychologists have long known that perception is not simply a 'read out' of sensory information." Anil Seth on #ThePerceptionCensus: theguardian.com/books/2022/oct…

Many congratulations Dr. Alec Tschantz Alec Tschantz for passing his PhD viva with flying colours. From Bayesian Principles to Bayesian Processes was examined by Andy Clark & Rosalyn Moran, & supervised by Chris L Buckley (mostly) & me. Well done 🙌🏽& your bottle🍾 now joins the ranks

Reflection is a central part of the #Dreamachine experience. It's fascinating to see what visitors saw, heard and felt, and how they recorded these on paper afterwards. Explore our collection here: dreamachine.world/drawings/?utm_…
