Here’s a thought that might make you tilt your head in curiosity: With every movement of your eyes, head, or body, the visual input to your eyes shifts! Nevertheless, it doesn't feel like the world does suddenly tilts sideways whenever you tilt your head. How can this be? TWEEPRINT ALERT! 🚨🧵 1/n

How does prior knowledge affect the way we experience the world? In our new paper, we show that prior knowledge can both increase and decrease how often experience is segmented into events. link.springer.com/article/10.3...

The IfaDo sessions have become really a community staple and I am very glad to be able to chip in.

And while you are doing all that you can find Rosanne's and my students allover ECVP doing all the cool stuff ...

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 am incredibly excited to catch-up on the latest #workingmemory research and to be amongst the community at WMS; especially as someone who is missing/avoiding US-based conferences (VSS, OPAM, Psychonomics). I will be absolutely ruining my sleep habits to be a part of the fun!

Curious about the visual human brain, a vibrant and collaborative lab, and pursuing a PhD in the heart of Europe? My lab is recruiting for a 3-year PhD position. More details: www.rademakerlab.com/job-add

We have a PhD position for an upcoming project in metacognition research in Potsdam / Berlin. A great opportunity for those interested in cognitive modeling of confidence and EEG. More information at coconeuro.github.io/phd2025 Kindly share this opportunity with potential candidates - Thanks!

🎉 Our paper "Criterion placement threatens the construct validity of neural measures of consciousness" is now out in eLife! 🎉 TL;DR: Both simulations and empirical data show that you should not post-hoc sort neural data based on subjective measures of consciousness. elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...

It was AWESOME seeing some of the working memory ECRs at VSS2025! Regardless of VSS attendance, WMS is a PERFECT opportunity to disseminate and discuss your cool working memory research with colleagues across the globe! Don't forget to submit your abstract at www.wmsymposium.org by May 31st!

I just learned that there is an open postdoc position for AI in Psychology with us. The deadline is in two days, but if you are interested and willing to write a quick proposal, let me know. Potential topics: comp. modeling of VWM/perception, brain decoding. www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

I'm not on twitter anymore, but this tweet from 2 years ago is sadly more accurate than ever

Stunning new work by Hsin-Hung Li and colleagues www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Prioritization in spatial memory, decoding, top-down correlations.

Could not agree more ....

Research work is an inherent commitment to positive change. Part of our commitment must be acknowledging the need for a change in the way we do research.

Before my kids grew out of diapers, I could change a dirty one in under 30 seconds. It takes me about that much time also to swap a car seat between cars. Bath time is much more variable obvs. Their meal preferences are like little scars seared into my flesh. In this fatherhood essay I will

Because copy editing so often overlooked. Kudos to ‪@jcgntn.bsky.social‬ for excellent copy editing and maybe the neatest Journal design I have seen, so far.

It is with profound sadness that we share the devastating news that Eleanor Maguire passed away on January 4th. She was a phenomenally brilliant neuroscientist, with immense passion for her work and many remarkable accomplishments. We will miss her terribly. www.online-tribute.com/EleanorMaguire

@joanapseabra.bsky.social has joined Bluesky just to tell you about out newest paper. Thread below!

Critical reading for stupid people like me.

I promised to write about my thoughts on the status of the field of neuroAI, some of the big challenges we are facing, and the approaches we are taking to address them. This is super selective on the topic of finding a good model but in my view it affects the field as a whole. Here we go. 🧵

If Bsky turns into a new "X" (still stunning how childishthat name is), I am out of here.
