Spatial attention and working memory are popularly thought to be tightly coupled. Yet, distinct neural activity tracks attentional breadth and WM load. In a new paper
@jocn.bsky.social
, we show that pupil size independently tracks breadth and load.

We found attentional suppression might be related to re-coding salient singleton locations in a inverted format to target locations

Rapid inversion of singleton distractor representations underlies learned attentional suppression
In visually complex and dynamically changing environments, humans often face the challenge of filtering out salient stimuli that are presently irrelevant to their tasks. Recent evidence suggests that ...

1/ Why are we so easily distracted? đź§ In our new EEG preprint w/ Henry Jones,
@monicarosenb.bsky.social
and
@edvogel.bsky.social
we show that distractibility is associated w/ reduced neural connectivity — and can be predicted from EEG with ~80% accuracy using machine learning.

How does the visual system track moving objects while remembering the color of those objects? My latest research article (co-first with Piotr
@styrkowiec.bsky.social
) exploring this question using EEG is out in JoCN!

Item-based Parsing of Dynamic Scenes in a Combined Attentional Tracking and Working Memory Task
Abstract. Human visual processing is limited—we can only track a few moving objects at a time and store a few items in visual working memory (WM). A shared mechanism that may underlie these performanc...

Distributed and drifting signals for working memory load in human cortex
Increasing working memory (WM) load incurs behavioral costs, and whether the neural constraints on behavioral costs are localized (i.e., emanating from the intraparietal sulcus) or distributed across ...

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.

Not looking forward to this getting quoted - may be one of the dumbest words committed to judicial opinion. Don't assume that "experts" are correct, but assume that judges are better at science than scientists?

UChicago has ~$108 million in NIH grants. According to most recent F&A rate info I found (2019-20), UChicago has an F&A rate of 62% for on-campus grants, so around $67million in F&A support. If the rate is cut to 15%, that’ll be a loss of $50 million in support. That’s thousands of jobs lost

One doctor’s recommendation to deny a 43-year-woman coverage “contained errors on practically every aspect” of her condition, the Labor Department said in 2012. United and other insurers continued to hire the doctor over the next decade.

Insurers Continue to Rely on Doctors Whose Judgments Have Been Criticized by Courts
In dozens of cases ProPublica reviewed, judges found that some doctors working for these companies engaged in “selective readings” of medical evidence and “shut their eyes” to medical opinions opposing their conclusions.

Terrific! Paywalls are disappearing! No more 12 month embargo between when NIH funded work appears in a journal and when it becomes accessible to all (as of December 2025).
