I defended my PhD thesis last week 🥳 I felt so happy to celebrate the end of this journey with so many wonderful people. It meant more to me than I can put into words. A special thank you to my supervisor @lauraklatt.bsky.social for her constant support over four years 🍀

Excited to share our new preprint: Temporal expectation triggers competition in working memory that leads to forgetting. Appreciate all the help and support from Dr.Jarrod Lewis-Peacock, @bulezz.bsky.social, and @lorencelizabeth.bsky.social! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Super excited to share that our paper, “Multiple Partially Overlapping Neural Modules Orchestrate Conflict Processing,” has been accepted for publication in Imaging Neuroscience! 🎉 1/n w/ @tgro.bsky.social @manuelvarlet.bsky.social Edmund Wascher, Patrick Gajewski direct.mit.edu/imag/article...

New preprint! We mapped out how ‘diffuse’ predictions affect neural representations. We show predictions reshape the geometric layout of the neural representations by compressing the representational spread and stabilize the neural code by reducing the neural variance during memory encoding.

Can We Process Information Without Encoding It into Working Memory? Our findings with @gidon-frischkorn.bsky.social and @koberauer.bsky.social suggest that processing entails encoding. Task-irrelevant information enters working memory during processing, impairing memory for relevant information.

👩‍🔬 #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience – Slightly late to the party, but still a perfect time for a shout-out to the wonderful Women in #WorkingMemory (WomWom) community — a network of brilliant, generous, & supportive researchers who continue to inspire me. A few of us at #ESCOP25 last year 👇

Check out our new preprint, which presents object-based retrieval processes in multisensory working memory. Here we show that unimodal feature probes incidentally reactivate untested tones and orientations of audiovisual objects. +

🎉 New preprint 🎉 with Olya Bulatova, @drmack.bsky.social & @keisukefukuda.bsky.social! We decode shapes in working memory from EEG and show that representations are task-dependent, flexibly integrating information about category and task during the memory delay

🚨 This is TODAY! 📍Auditorium ⏰ 13:45 #ICON2025 #CogNeuro #AcademicSky #MetaScience

Tomorrow afternoon at #icon2025 I will present a poster on feature extraction costs in working memory in an audiovisual context using behavioral measures and EEG based decoding analysis. I will be at the main hall, 1st floor (P2.55). I’d be happy to discuss our results further with you.

Very excited to announce my first paper is out in @currentbiology.bsky.social! Using EEG, we identify an item-based measure of storage in working memory that generalizes across auditory and visual items. authors.elsevier.com/a/1ljFF3QW8S... #PsychSciSky #neuroskyence #workingmemory
