The impact of aphantasia on mental healthcare experiences
An invited public talk and discussion for World Mental Health Day 2024, hosted by the Aphantasia Network. Dr Mawtus and I discuss the results of our latest study of mental health/care in nearly 3,000 aphantasics and imagers.
Ganzflicker: Using light-induced hallucinations to predict divergent perceptual experiences
A talk given at the AFCLab/CARLA talk series on 18 March 2024, breaking down my new model and how it can be used to understand hallucinations. Also presented in condensed form at the Aalborg mini-symposium on synaesthesia, perception, and individual differences.
Is open science really open for everyone?
The closing keynote session of Open Research Week 2024.
Open Science discussions typically revolve around data sharing, reproducibility, and transparency in the research process - but to be truly open, it is important to be mindful of equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in this process.
Speakers
Andy Jones – How to be an inclusive supervisor/principal investigator
Maddi Pownall – How to make science more open for underrepresented scholars
Tatsuya Amano – Language barriers in open science
Session co-organized with Loukia Tzavella, Fellow of Institute of Population Health University of Liverpool.
Ganzflicker: Past, present, and future of light-induced psychedelic experience
Talking about my recent Ganzflicker work as well as the latest iteration of the divergent predictive perception model in detail, presented at the University of Sussex in March 2023.
A novel model of divergent perception
Presenting my model in detail, including motivation from previous research, a summary of the model, and behavioral and neural predictions. My symposium talk presented at ECVP 2022 in Nijmegen.
