I’m quite surprised by how slow the assistance has been at Prolific @joinprolific.bsky.social .It feels inconsistent: sometimes responses are great, but other times they take a very long time. I’ve sent three emails over the past two weeks and haven’t received any reply.

Some reports say over 500 schools, 55 libraries, & 25 universities hit. You can debate the numbers, but hitting Sharif University & Beheshti is like hitting MIT & Stanford. I keep wondering: How would the scientific community respond differently if it was those universities? What’s the difference?

JOB ALERT: PhD opening in my lab! @cimecunitrento.bsky.social in Italy, as part of an Italian FIS3 starting grant. The project will use advanced analysis methods of MEG data to investigate how our world's naturalistic hierarchical structure facilitates predictive neural processing.

Quick bit of advice for everyone on Bluesky: We should switch to using the For You feed as our default feed. It will make things better

Scientific publishing: Rethinking how research is reviewed and published Review of how the loss of impact factor affected submissions at eLife - uneven drop across countries, but generally holding up remarkably well and shows a new model is possible elifesciences.org/articles/110...

It is absolutely astonishingly impressive how much work scientific publishers have managed to shunt onto authors, who aren't paid, while they continue to increase their enormous profits. The submission process itself takes about 5 hours. I miss the 90s 😢

Suddenly finding the solution to a problem sometimes feels more insightful than others, but why? Beautiful work by Johannah showing this is the result of both the accuracy of initial predictions and the uncertainty awarded to them. Feeling lucky to have shared this journey with her and Juan!✨

Why do people seem to prioritize semantic stuff when holding info in working memory? Had lots of fun trying to shed some light on this question, together with the great @ckerren.bsky.social and @lindedomingo.bsky.social

🚨🚨 We are hiring a Postdoc at CIMCYC – University of Granada (Spain) 🚨🚨 2 year position in Neuroscience of Human Experience Building new ways to study lived experience as it unfolds in time and maps onto brain, body and behavior Please share‼️

the benefit from writing the paper is not having a 30-page paper as a result the benefit is the thinking that goes along with writing the paper — that is part of writing the paper. If all that's done is the pre-analysis plan and the analysis then that limits the new thinking

New preprint 🚨 Across multiple tasks, we show that higher-level info is more readily accessible in WM before evidence accumulation begins. Attention then boosts perceptual detail. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... A lot of fun with my colleagues @ckerren.bsky.social and @gonzalezgarcia.bsky.social

You could replace AI with cocaine in this Harvard Business Review article and it would totally fit. Working at a faster pace into more hours of the day at first soon giving way to "cognitive fatigue, burnout, and weakened decision-making." Sounds familiar.

@cimcyc.bsky.social is hiring! SIX postdoc positions are coming up to dive into collaborative projects bridging together psychological science. Amazing opportunity to boost a postdoc career in a cutting-edge research center with outstanding human teams! 👇🏽 cimcyc.ugr.es/en/informati...

Postdoc job ad! Do you have a background in human learning in aseptic lab studies and wonder how to apply this to pressing societal issues? Or, have you worked in the formation of political attitudes from social psychology but always wanted to understand the cognitive mechanisms behind it? Read on!

It’s official! The postdoc positions announcement is here 🚀 If you know great candidates interested in attention, memory transformation and EEG, please help spread the word: Project (ReDAS) -> cimcyc.ugr.es/en/informati... Job offer -> cimcyc.ugr.es/en/informati...

Asking informally: does anyone know someone who might be interested in a postdoc focused on understanding changes in memory representations driven by attention using EEG? ⚡️Thanks!

This raises what I like to call the "AI test for tasks". If many people use AI to do task X, then that tells you that task X is actually just a brainless administrative exercise. Any such task should probably be eliminated, and if that's not an option, modified to make automation even easier.

🧠🚨 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...

So proud of Águeda and Germán for putting this together. A short, insightful opinion piece on how drift–diffusion modeling can deepen our understanding of the role of attention in prioritizing working memory contents. 📄 Accepted version: psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-... Preprint: shorturl.at/p5KA4

Very happy to finally see this out! A while ago I had the wonderful opportunity to meet an awesome group of scientists from very diverse fields, interested in exchanging thoughts, experiences and ideas. In this book, we collect some of these exchanges as a celebration the richness of science.

A memory can be represented at different levels of granularity, from highly specific to generalized. Different representational formats of a memory can be used at different times or in different contexts, and draw on different neural representations. doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Looking forward to #ICON2025! Apart from posters (updates coming), we’ll be at the “Sudden Learning Across Systems” symposium talking about factors behind solving visual disambiguation 👀, memory traces of one-shot perceptual learning and more. Excited to share and get inspired by your work! 🚀

What do we remember from highly ambiguous episodes? Here’s our take after many hours of reading and discussing. Congratulations @jvoeller.bsky.social on the first paper of your PhD!

New preprint! 🚨We discuss the long-term memory consequences of fast visual perceptual learning: "From sudden perceptual learning to enduring engrams: A representational perspective" It's so great to work with @jvoeller.bsky.social and the team! Congrats for your first author manuscript, Johannah!

🧠 New preprint: Why do deep neural networks predict brain responses so well? We find a striking dissociation: it’s not shared object recognition. Alignment is driven by sensitivity to texture-like local statistics. 📊 Study: n=57, 624k trials, 5 models doi.org/10.1101/2025...

🧠🚨 How does the brain represent what we see? Is visual input transformed to form these representations in similar ways across people and even AI models like DNNs? We explore these questions using fMRI and large-scale representational alignment analyses. 🔗 arxiv.org/abs/2507.13941 Thread👇 (1/8)

🧠New preprint! We show that different priorities shape the neural coding of planned actions in working memory. Using EEG+RSA, we find that expected interference leads to anticipatory changes in representational geometry, beyond simple maintenance. 📄 doi.org/10.1101/2025... 🗂️ Data/code: osf.io/5fg7a
