Last month, I launched my lab at Ohio State. Our lab website is now live, and we're recruiting graduate students this cycle! If you're interested in the cognitive (neuro)science of learning & memory, please reach out! www.momentslab.org

🚨Do you want to join our online seminars? Next month we have this amazing seminar with Anna and Noa! Register to join, it’s free 🤓 #somatosensation #interoception #sensory #body #science #neuroscience docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

New qualitative paper! A foray into gastric interception. @lucysta02475610.bsky.social ran a LOT of focus groups, across groups with eating disorders, gastric disorders and neither, to understand how people experience the sensations from their GI system. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Hi! Nice to virtually meet you! Here is the QR code to a PDF of the poster. Glad you found it interesting! If you have any questions or want more details, happy to chat about it! 🙂

Was meant to be presenting at #BACN25 on Thursday. Unfortunately, COVID has decided otherwise. My poster will still make an appearance though. Even better? It’s presented by @aidanhorner.bsky.social instead! Go check it out on Thursday along with other lab posters on narratives, objects and schema.

€3,000 essay prize on 'The philosophical implications of aphantasia/hyperphantasia', just announced by @bencenanay.bsky.social. Open to anyone who got their PhD after May 2018 and current PhD students. Deadline: Dec 1, 2025. Announcement and details: listserv.liv.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa?A....

So happy to share our paper on the role of the hippocampus as a mismatch detector: doi.org/10.1073/pnas... We show that the hippocampus detects mismatches between ongoing experiences and episodic memories but not generalised schematic knowledge. See 🧵for how we got here: #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky

Deadline is tomorrow so get your applications in people! #neuroskyence #neurojobs #psychscisky #cognition #psychjobs

🚪🧠 Ever wondered if walking through doors really changes your memory? At #ESCOP25 today I’m at Board 19 showing how spatiotemporal boundaries impact recall in VR. Although time matters, it’s more to do with using it effectively!

Killing 'delve': We analysed 4,800+ student-authored reports across a decade to uncover how ChatGPT is shaping undergrad writing—style, sentiment, and quality. 📉📈 GenAI isn't just a tool. It's a co-author. 📝 #Preprint: www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-7...

We make predictions based on general knowledge and/or specific memories. Different brain areas are active when these distinct predictions are violated – and hippocampus selectively responds to prediction errors based on episodic memory. Cool work by @chrismbird.bsky.social @ayab.bsky.social et al!

I’m about halfway through this update (first 11 tutorials are done). I think they’re a lot better. Using a consistent @easystats.github.io workflow throughout will - I think - massively reduce the cognitive load for students. Looking forward to road testing in autumn term.

{truffle} is an R package for teaching users to process data. Semi-realistic psychological datasets with predetermined effects (via `truffles_` functions) are then hidden in common data processing headaches (via `dirt_` functions) for students to clean and analyze. mmmdata.io/posts/2025/0...

Happy publication day to first author @ewanmurray.bsky.social! A lot of hard work by Ewan went into this, so it is great to see if fully published. A Meta-analytic Review of the Effectiveness of Spacing and Retrieval Practice for Mathematics Learning #cognition #psychscisky #neuroskyence

🚨 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 🥰🤓

Mixed-effects modellers, assemble! Just dropped a (very niche) blog on the weird quirks that occur with uncorrelated random effects and the trifecta of packages: lme4, afex, and performance (in R). Read here 👉 sites.google.com/view/jamieco... #rstats #MixedModels #lme4 #afex #performanceR

🚨Paper now published! 🚨 The Effects of External Cue Overlap and Internal Goals on Selective Memory Retrieval. Grateful for thorough reviews that made it stronger. Out now in #EJN: doi.org/10.1111/ejn..... w @alexamorcom.bsky.social @MattPlummer @ivorsimpson.bsky.social. Updated summary🧵👇

Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.

Amazing #RegisteredReport led by Sumaiyah Raza from @mrccbu.bsky.social. We (again) found evidence against a memory benefit of spatial novelty. However, this time we did find a retroactive benefit of rest, which highlights that more work is needed here. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
