✨Two new studies out in JPI 👁️‍🗨️

The Journal of Perceptual Imaging publishes papers on topics such as cognitive effects, perception, and imaging. From time to time it also publishes special issues. In a special issue on Remote Research in the Perceptional and Cognitive Sciences an article on the influence of facial cues in avatars was published by iscience team member Yury Shevchenko and Ulf-Dietrich Reips, along with their former Master student Jakob Heisenstein, whose Master thesis was the basis for the piece. More recently, in February 2025, Maria Rosa Miccoli and Ulf-Dietrich Reips published an article on exact versus conceptual replication in the same journal!🍾💭
