New paper out!
We identify a building block of the Language of Thought in infancy: thematic roles (agent, patient).
More on @ljuba_pi's thread below.

The September issue @CurrentBiology What do infants think when they see social interactions? 👶🏻
The representation of interacting people as agent and patient reveals a language-of-thought before language development

Goodbye #ECVP2024 and Aberdeen -- we've had a grand time and seen a lot of great science. Last photos from the farewell party and cèilidh at Union Kirk. Molly Hewitt and Mae Bernard seen dancing here - it got much busier later!
(Most) of the Bangor crew gathers after the final (excellent) keynote talk of #ECVP2024. Guest appearances from former Bangorians @DrMadgeJackson, Corinna Haenschel, and Charles Leek. @PsychBangor @BangorUni
Molly Hewitt, presenting her work with Simon Watt in the last poster session of the conference: "Visually guided grasping in tool use: movement planning takes into account changes in tool orientation". #ECVP2024 @PsychBangor @BangorUni
Filip Durovic, presenting his work with Paul Downing at #ECVP2024: "Measuring the speed of action recognition". Special guest appearance by former Bangorian and current collaborator Patric Bach (now at Aberdeen). @PsychBangor @BangorUni @actpredictlab
Joshua Matthews presenting his work with Ayelet Sapir at #ECVP2024: Attention facilitates three-dimensional shape from shading. @PsychBangor @BangorUni
The symposium at #ECVP2024 on "Reproducing reality: What is needed to build displays that pass the "visual Turing test"?" included a diverse set of talks from varied viewpoints and was a great success. Co-organised by Simon Watt @PsychBangor @BangorUni
Mae Bernard did a stellar job presenting their work with @paulrauwolf, @Neweyances, and me at #ECVP2024: "Do we judge robots like humans when they give us incorrect information?" @PsychBangor @BangorUni
Paul Downing, presenting a poster on "Visual encoding of social interactions in body-selective human brain regions" at #ECVP2024. @PsychBangor @BangorUni
Great poster from @mariolapeca with Ayelet Sapir at #ECVP2024: "Investigating the effect of hemispheric dominance on perceptual bias in 3D shape-from-shading: Evidence from left-handers". Special guest appearance from former Bangorian Charles Leek. @PsychBangor @BangorUni
Paul Aiken, presenting his PhD work with Paul Downing at Bangor at #ECVP2024. In presenting "The perceptual integrality of sex and age: understanding the functional organisation of face processing" he had both great data *and* a fancy presentation. @PsychBangor @BangorUni
Bangor Psych's Simon Watt, presenting his poster "Intuitive visuomotor control of grip force in a (simulated) body-powered prosthesis?" at #ECVP2024. @BangorUni @PsychBangor
Pleased to give a talk in a great line-up of talks in the Social Perception session this afternoon at #ECVP2024. @BangorUni @PsychBangor

Check out this cool paper by Alex Mitko , Ana Navarro-Cebrian, @SarahCormiea and Jason Fischer using correlation of abilities across tasks to infer the existence of a distinct cognitive system for intuitive physical reasoning:

Well, we didn't get the cover - but our article in @CurrentBiology (doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2023.1…) is in print today and even has a nice commentary from Emel Kükük & David Pitcher (doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2023.1…) @YorkPsychology! @PsychBangor @BangorUni
The project used converging methods, including TMS and fMRI, to look at visual sensitivity to social interactive information. Great fun to work with a great team of researchers! @ljuba_pi @Marco_Gandolfo @AbassiEtienne @BalgovaEva & Paul Downing.
Having now completed the 'Becoming Social' grant @PsychBangor, it is so very nice to consider all the great projects - and all the excellent researchers - this ERC starting grant let me engage with. So many thanks, @ERC_Research!
Humans are social creatures. But where do our roots of social understanding come from?
Kami Koldewyn @BangorUni investigates the behavioural and neurobiological systems that support complex social perception. 🧠

Very pleased to be part of this collaborative enterprise with a truly excellent team of researchers. @Marco_Gandolfo @AbassiEtienne @BalgovaEva @ljuba_pi @BIG_fMRI @BangorUni @PsychBangor
Now out in @CurrentBiology a set of behavioral, fMRI and TMS results demonstrating neural specialization for signals of social interaction in the left extrastriate visual cortex
