Now out in #ScienceAdvances: @baiweiliu.bsky.social and I ask how internal (goal) and external (sensory) selection are coordinated during visual search. The key insight: internal and external selection are not inherently serial, but may develop in parallel in the human brain: doi.org/10.1126/scia...

Thrilled that our paper is out today in Nature! www.nature.com/articles/s4...

Check our new Psych Science paper w/Daniil Azarov & Daniil Grigorev. Although an ability to recognize a familiar object among new ones clearly depends on how many and which objects there are, we show a remarkable stability of underlying "representational spaces" journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

📣 Out in TINS (@cp-trendsneuro.bsky.social): Neural processing is often described as either externally or internally directed. In our new Forum article, we (@freekvanede.bsky.social & Kia Nobre) propose a multilevel framework for conceptualising external and internal continua of brain processes.

We’re looking for a postdoc to join our Max Planck group in Germany some time in 2026. If you have computational and/or neuroimaging expertise, and are interested in questions intersecting perception and cognition, please reach out! I’ll also be happy to chat at the #Bernsteinconference this week.

Decoupling lower-level and higher-level visual features in naturalistic scenes: https://osf.io/unv5g

Excited to release the SPOT grid: a new image set that factorially crosses scene-object & texture-pattern pairings. We hope these stimuli will be useful to researchers aiming to (partially) disentangle the contributions of lower- and higher-level visual features to behavior & brain activity. 1/

The keynote speaker at this year's @opam.bsky.social Object Perception, Attention, and Memory meeting will be Dr Joy J. Geng of UC Davis. We're thrilled to have Joy join us, discuss her research, and impart some wisdom that she's gained throughout her incredibly impressive career.

Come work with us! UC Irvine Cognitive Sciences is looking for a new Assistant Professor to join our team: recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF09896 I'm not on the committee, but happy to talk if you're interested.

By integrating the 'pinging' technique with fMRI-based multivariate pattern analysis, we provide evidence for a dual-format representation of attention during the preparatory period. doi.org/10.7554/eLif...

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!

🧠 Excited to share that our new preprint is out!🧠 In this work, we investigate the dynamic competition between bottom-up saliency and top-down goals in the early visual cortex using rapid invisible frequency tagging (RIFT). 📄 Check it out on bioRxiv: www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

does someone good at coding & analysis want to work remotely w/ us in the coming few months (before end of 2025), as a paid consultant? project will be on neurofeedback (fMRI, ECoG, calcium imaging). we'll work towards developing the experiments & analysis pipelines together. if so pls DM me ur CV🧠📈

The prefrontal cortex encodes task-identity information and flexibly adjusts its sensory processes as a function of the specific ongoing task doi.org/10.1371/jour... #neuroscience

New paper day! Whereas earlier studies have shown that human eye movement patterns are influenced by the physical properties of remembered stimuli, we show that they are also influenced by stimulus meaning. h/t to Ali Pexsa (not on bluesky) who led this work. tinyurl.com/4y4aev3a

Hey #memory folks, check out this new preprint by @joschadutli.bsky.social , @koberauer.bsky.social, and @leabartsch.bsky.social showing that elaboration benefits are likely driven by aiding in establishing efficient retrieval cues.

I really wish that the AI companies would stop training their models to reflexively say "You are right" when they have no clue as to whether I am actually right or not. I want to know when I'm wrong.

Need to control visual similarity in your experiments? A new open database by Robbins and colleagues @michaelhout.bsky.social @haywardgodwin.bsky.social, published in #psynomBRM, maps similarity among 1,200 objects in 20 categories using MDS—validated & ready to use.

Headed to UK to explore London a bit before @escop.bsky.social #ESCOP2025 ! If anyone has any recs for sights and food in the city, @philippmusfeld.bsky.social & I would be grateful! 🇬🇧🍦🏰

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)

How does the prefrontal cortex flexibly adapt to different cognitive demands? New research from @benhamedlab.bsky.social shows that the prefrontal cortex flexibly encodes task identity and adjusts sensory processing based on the current task’s demands.🧪 #Neuroscience plos.io/41p9iLw

In #memories, when does bias towards or away from a stimulus arise? New research shows that attractive serial dependence emerges during #decision-making, while repulsive biases originate during early sensory encoding. 🧪 plos.io/3JSztEg

New pre-print w/ @keisukefukuda.bsky.social ! In this study, we show that memory biases selectively persist across time following perceptual comparisons, but not passive interference, even when observers abstain from making explicit memory reports. osf.io/preprints/ps... doi.org/10.31234/osf...

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!

Delighted to share our work on replay and successor representations! We find replay during very short task pauses in human visual cortex that is linked to learning SRs & happens when learning is implicit. Study led by @lnnrtwttkhn.bsky.social #compneuro #neuroskyence www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

And while you’re at #ECVP seeking out @bradpostle.bsky.social, you may as well stay for the rest of the symposium with the amazing @tbchristophel.bsky.social, Maria Servetnik, and Clay Curtis (and me).

I can't quite believe it – I got a new NSF grant! 😲🤯 I'm incredibly grateful to the program officers & reviewers for their dedication and efforts to keep science going 🌟👏🏼 So, I'll be hiring! Looking for a postdoc to study competition in memory-guided attention. See flyer for details! 🎉

Involuntary memory retrieval is a common phenomenon in autobiographical #memory, and a symptom of #PTSD. This study reveals the neural mechanism of #InvoluntaryMemory, showing that involuntary & voluntary memories rely on distinct neural processes @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4oQkb3e

When you teach, do you make your lecture available offline for students? Students have jobs, disabilities, etc. that make it hard to attend lecture regularly. But part of the meta-learning is to also develop discipline to show up to commitments like class, like it or not. Would love advice on this!

Our paper on the neural basis of serial dependence is finally published! In @elife.bsky.social: A direct neural signature of serial dependence in working memory doi.org/10.7554/eLif... Oh, and check out the commentary by Yang&Kiyonaga too! elifesciences.org/articles/101...

I gave a talk in 2009 about feature-based attention and a famous vision scientist asked how top down signals from PFC could possibly target the right sensory neurons. The best I could do was "uh, dunno". sunyoungp.bsky.social has a much more thoughtful answer journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol...
