Happy to share my first paper!
With the fantastic Ofer Kahane, @amiroftals and @Liad_Mudrik
We show unconscious priming can be enhanced by training, even when awareness is measured on every trial. We also highlight metholodigical caveats for
unconscious priming

There are many people that helped me get here, but above all I want to thank my big three for all their support: @moshe1bar, @Liad_Mudrik and Lila Davachi.
I hope I'm in your image as I feel I am, you were fantastic mentors, and you're kidding yourself if you think that's over

How can we use small LLMs to shift more AI workloads onto our laptops and phones?
In our paper and open-source code, we pair on-device LLMs (@ollama) with frontier LLMs in the cloud (@openai, @together), to solve token-intensive workloads on your 💻 at 17.5% of the cloud cost while maintaining 97.9% of the accuracy.
See Gru and the Minions in action below, 🔉on please (h/t @cartesia)!
was full professor from day one, but nice that it's official 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Congratulations to @Liad_Mudrik on her promotion to Full Professor at the Faculty of Social Sciences at Tel Aviv University! Congrats Prof. Mudrik!

הייתה גחלת נעורים...שחקן "ארץ נהדרת" יניב ביטון מתארח ב"קומיקאים בקמפוס" ומשוחח עם ד"ר אמיר טל ושי פישר מביה"ס למדעי הפסיכולוגיה, על הסודות מאחורי החיקויים שגורמים לנו לצחוק.
בפרק, ביטון מדבר על חיקויים – מתי הם טובים, ממה הם נולדים, ואיך תנועה או מילה אחת מצליחות ללכוד מורכבות שלמה של אדם. הוא גם מסביר למה חיקוי מצחיק אותנו ומתי הוא עלול להיות פוגעני.

The brilliant @amiroftals presenting our work at #iVSS with Nataly Davidson, where the Kanizsa illusion was modulated by semantic priming. A case of cognitive penetrants?… Stay tuned, the paper is under review 🤞🤞

So happy to see this out:
Can you follow math instructions unconsciously?
We challenged an old finding, and found that you probably can't

From a wider perspective, this is a good example I feel of how replicability in the field and in psych science in general have progressed over the years.
We're more careful, and we have the methods, computational power and outlets to do that :)
This project lasted 5 years (I prepared my son that he will inherit it one day), and I learned a lot from it about good scientific practices and rigor.
Fittingly, it was my first ever project with the incomprable @Liad_Mudrik, who is the embodiment of good science, in every way

We are interested in your intuitions about consciousness, moral status, and their interactions🧐 if you have half an hour to answer some questions about these topics, this survey is for you🥳no formal bg is required! Feel free to share >> socialtau.qualtrics.com/jfe/…
Very interesting survey! It also aligns well with the survey on consciousness and moral status @RonyHirsch, @Liad_Mudrik and I are running 👉socialtau.qualtrics.com/jfe/….
