Preprint! Representations in working memory wax and wane with relevance. How does this affect what we remember later? We show that temporal expectations drive competition between items in working memory and that these neural dynamics predict long-term forgetting.

new preprint! 🐍 In a dynamic Snake game inspired task, we show participants flexibly replan their behaviors after distraction, but this ability is constrained by memory load and distraction strength. EEG results coming soon👀 osf.io/preprints/ps...

I’ve been having a great time at @cogneuronews.bsky.social !! If you’ll be around for the final day of the meeting, come say hi during the last poster session (8-10am, Poster F34)! I’ll be sharing some new work on how dynamic memory control helps regulate intrusive thoughts!

I’ll be at #CNS2026 in Vancouver!! If you’re interested in inhibitory memory control, come check out my poster during the final session on Tuesday, March 10th from 8-10am (Poster F34)! I’ll share some exciting new work on how dynamic memory control helps regulate intrusive memories.

Our paper is now out at JNeuro! www.jneurosci.org/content/earl... How do we avoid attentional capture by salient stimuli? We found that inversions of singleton distractor representations support attentional suppression of salient items.

We are hiring a research specialist, to start this summer! This position would be a great fit for individuals looking to get more experience in computational and cognitive neuroscience research before applying to graduate school. #neurojobs Apply here: research-princeton.icims.com/jobs/21503/r...

Applications for NeuroHackademy 2026 are now open! This is a two-week NIH-funded summer experience that combines neuroimaging and data science in a summer school / experiential hackathon: neurohackademy.org/apply/ @uwpsychology.bsky.social @uwescience.bsky.social

New paper!!! Pooled data (17 conditioning+memory exp) to figure out (a) robustness of emotional temporal biases (attribute items to threat context even if encoded before or afterwards) and (b) how this predicts emotional memory enhancement. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New lab paper: "Emotional learning selectively distorts the temporal organization of memory: A quantitative synthesis." Across 17 different studies, fear conditioning consistently distorted temporal source memory for information encoded before and after. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Check out my SfN poster if you are interested in how retrospective and prospective representations in working memory work together to create plans and replans when being distracted! I will present it at the early career poster session at 6:45 pm on Saturday or from 1-5 on Tuesday.

🧠🚨 How does the hippocampus transform the visual similarity space to resolve memory interference? In this new preprint, we found that the hippocampus sequentially inverts the behaviorally relevant dimensions of similarity 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We found attentional suppression might be related to re-coding salient singleton locations in a inverted format to target locations www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

UT Austin is hiring! Assistant Professor in Psychology with a focus on computational/data science/AI approaches apply.interfolio.com/174061

🚨 Postdoc Opportunity @ UT Austin! I’m recruiting a clinical psychologist or neuroscientist to join us in 2025/2026. Our work: fear/threat + fMRI + EMA + HiTOP + anxiety/trauma/OC psychopathology in adults & adolescents + fancy stats! 📄 Description: tinyurl.com/2jfk8d8m 🌐 Lab: www.scoop-lab.com

Excited to share my first fMRI paper in @pnas.org We found that suppressing the encoding of one event can strengthen the neural representation of the next in CA1, and bias retrieval-related neural restatement away from suppressed information. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
