This data collection started in COVID times, seems like eons ago. First paper is out ❤️ -- thank you @bpitchford.bsky.social & Hélène Devillez for doing so much of the hard work. Free to read until November 2nd (or msg me): authors.elsevier.com/c/1lmUB6TBG5... #dyslexia #visionscience #neuroskyence

Just had the new Shakshuka McMuffin today at McDonalds, and it was divine... 😋 Apparently this item is only available in McDonalds in China right now, but I sincerely hope it gets available everywhere...

Excited to share a new article from @icevislab.bsky.social! In a sample of over 60 people, we found distinct neural differences underlying object and face recognition in dyslexia. These findings highlight crucial domain-general visual processes that may contribute to word reading challenges.

New paper: We argue that linearization in language production is a foraging process, with speakers navigating semantic and spatial clusters. Lead author: Karina Tachihara, former UC Davis postdoc, now faculty at UIUC! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New work led by Jackie Fulvio that adds to growing evidence that dynamics in parietooccipital low-beta oscillations play an important role in the encoding of priority in visual working memory. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Excited to share my first PhD paper with @liinapy.bsky.social! From rapid flashes of Danish two-word stimuli, left fronto-temporal areas detect not only sentence–list contrasts but also grammatical details like syntactic frame. Huge thanks to the Danes who volunteered their 🧠 to make this possible!

At-a-glance processing of syntactic dependencies in minimal DANISH two-word sentences by @simonekrogh.bsky.social! Sentence-superiority and dependency effects emerge in fronto-temporal cortex from ~230ms.

Interested in doing a PhD with me and lacns.github.io? Or with any of the incredible fellows in the IMPRS School of Cognition www.maxplanckschools.org/cognition-en - apply before Dec 1st at cognition.maxplanckschools.org/en/application

Here is the paper that @mollyadelooze.bsky.social presented this morning at #escop2025 showing source amnesia for recently presented verbal information.

The beautiful Hall of Mirrors that today hosts an exciting symposium on “The underconceptualization of everyday life”, put together by @ericman.bsky.social 🤩 with @bpomie.bsky.social @benedek.bsky.social and myself at the ESPP conference in Warsaw. So much to think about !

Tomorrow afternoon I'll be presenting my symposium talk at #ESCoP2025 titled "Meaningful and familiar stimuli support visual working memory for simple features"! See you there!

I’ll be presenting tomorrow morning on associative knowledge & VWM as a part of the fun symposium “working memory beyond the item” put together by @johannahein.bsky.social !

Our new study (Titled: Memory Loves Company) asks whether working memory hold more when objects belong together. And yes, when everyday objects are paired meaningfully (Bow-Arrow), people remember them better than when they’re unrelated (Glass-Arrow). (mini thread)

Omg the latest Jackie Chan movie is so good… finally a Jackie Chan movie with tons of Jackie Chan-style Kung-Fu contents, and he’s 71 years old! It really brings you back to the good old days… m.imdb.com/fr/title/tt3...

Why on earth would anyone write "please don't confuse son/sa/se and leur(s)" in a French learning book? I only started to confuse them after seeing this sentence... 😅

New preprint! 🚨→ Determinants of Visual Ambiguity Resolution. A new work with @ortiztudela.bsky.social @jvoeller.bsky.social @martinhebart.bsky.social and @gonzalezgarcia.bsky.social We created ~2k images and collected ~100k responses to study visual ambiguity. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Nice days in the valleys deeper into Manchuria (NE China)… I later knew these valleys are called 小和尚沟 (little monk valley) and 木鱼沟 (wooden fish valley) which is literally hilarious.

🚨 PostDoc Opening 🚨 The lab of Klaus Oberauer is looking for a new postdoc, starting end of this/beginning next year. Research focus is #cognition, #workingmemory, #methods and #computationalmodeling or anything in that direction. I cannot highlight ENOUGH how great it is to work in this lab 🥰🤓

A paper with Vic Ferreira and Norvin Richards is now out (1) Speakers syntactically encode zero complementizers as cognitively active mental object. (2) No evidence LLMs capture cross constructional generalizations about null complementizers. nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...
