✨Two new studies out in JPI 👁️‍🗨️

The Journal of Perceptual Imaging publishes a plethora of great papers on topics such as cognitive effects, perception as well as online research. In December 2024, a thought provoking paper on the perception of facial cues in artifical avatars was published from iscience team member Yury Shevchenko. More recently in February 2025, Maria Rosa Miccoli published a paper on mental accounting and discounting in the same high-impact journal!🍾
Iscience team leader Ulf-Dietrich Reips is a co-author on both of these articles.💭

You can find the papers from Yury and Maria Rosa below – we highly reccommend you check them out!
