Very cool and strong effect for me! It reminded me of this amazing fovea visualizer that I saw on the other platform a few years ago. Open it, make full screen, and see the extent of your fovea! 👀 www.shadertoy.com/view/4dsXzM

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!

Cortico-hippocampal interactions underlie schema-supported memory encoding in older adults New paper led by @shenyanghuang.bsky.social! academic.oup.com/cercor/artic... Older adults' memory benefits from richer semantic contexts. We found connectivity patterns supporting this semantic scaffolding.

Does the culture you grow up in shape the way you see the world? In a new Psych Review paper, @chazfirestone.bsky.social & I tackle this centuries-old question using the Müller-Lyer illusion as a case study. Come think through one of history's mysteries with us🧵(1/13):

Our new paper on how episodic memory and semantic knowledge interact to influence eye movements during search is out now in Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, with @jmhenderson.bsky.social and Andy Yonelinas! (summary below) link.springer.com/article/10.3... #psynomPBR @psychonomicsociety.bsky.social

Can you predict the future? Your brain and your eyes can. 🧵 I had the honour of writing a @currentbiology.bsky.social Dispatch in which I discuss exciting new findings from @philippbuchel.bsky.social, Klingspohr, Kehl & Staresina (2024). Read the Dispatch here: doi.org/10.1016/j.cu... 1/3

For my first post, I thought I'd share my first ever lab photos as PI that we took last week :) (+ the fact that I'm recruiting more PhD students for Fall 2025!) memlab.uark.edu
