Understanding the flexibility of working memory: Compositionality, generative processing, anchors and holistic representations www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #neuroscience

Any early-career researchers in #workingmemory wanting to contribute to an #openscience initiative? I'm looking for help building up a data hub resource for the field. Volunteers can expect to devote a few hours, and might pick up insights into handling research data and how to use Github.

New preprint! Working memory contents can be decoded from alpha band power. But does working memory maintenance really depend on these oscillations? We say no, because we found that alpha power decoding only works for prioritized items, not deprioritized ones. 1/3 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

CDS Asst. Prof. @neurograce.bsky.social has launched a YouTube channel, “5 Minute Papers on AI for the Planet,” translating climate-AI research into short video explainers, inspired by her course at CDS, “Machine Learning for Climate Change.” nyudatascience.medium.com/cds-grace-li...

The final part of my PhD work is now published in JEP:LMC 🤩 Special thanks to my wonderful PhD supervisors @evievergauwe.bsky.social and @nlangerock.bsky.social 🤗 psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...

The human-neuroscience N2pc marker of covert and internal attention co-occurs with spatial biases in microsaccades, 200-300 ms after prompted to shift attention. (How) are these empirical phenomena related? Check it out in the latest work led by @baiweiliu.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1371/jour...

I set out to write the book that I would want to read. The result is Een Wereld vol Denkers (A World of Thinkers) Here’s how and why the book came to be! 🤩✍️ cogsci.nl/blog/my-expe... #booksky #popularscience #psychology #ai #eenwereldvoldenkers @theodanes.bsky.social @uitgeverijbalans.bsky.social

Excited to share that the last paper of my PhD is out in Communications Psychology! This project has been a long journey, with the tremendous challenge of collecting EEG data from 86 participants. That’s why it feels soo rewarding to see it published. Grateful for every step along the way! 1/n

🚨 New preprint: Invisible neural frequency tagging (RIFT) for the underfunded researcher: 👉 www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/... RIFT uses high-frequency flicker to probe attention in M/EEG with minimal stimulus visibility and little distraction. Until now, it required a costly high-speed projector.

Hi everyone, I have recently joint the @uni-magdeburg.de and the Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology #teamLIN. The LIN is hosting the XV #learning & #memory Conference (28.09-02.10). Looking at #memory & 😴 sleep 🧠 #hippocampus 👂 auditory #learning ... Information & Registration: lnkd.in/d-Q6J8JV

New preprint alert! 🤩 Together with Klaus Oberauer, I wrote a review article on how focused attention in #workingmemory affects long-term memory formation. osf.io/preprints/os...

🚨 PostDoc Opening 🚨 The lab of Klaus Oberauer is looking for a new postdoc, starting end of this/beginning next year. Research focus is #cognition, #workingmemory, #methods and #computationalmodeling or anything in that direction. I cannot highlight ENOUGH how great it is to work in this lab 🥰🤓

Now out in JEP:G! We (@fridaprintzlau.bsky.social & @keisukefukuda.bsky.social ) resolve inconsistent attentional protection in WM by addressing discrepancies in cueing. Upshot: Attention changes how perception biases memory, but *not* how memory biases perception! doi.org/10.1037/xge0...

🚨PhD student position in #cognitive_psychology and #neuroscience, on a project directed by André Knops and in collaboration with the Dugué Lab! @upcite.bsky.social | @cnrs.fr Funded by the @agencerecherche.bsky.social (Agence nationale de la recherche) www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/42...

Looking for a summer read? Look no further! ☀️ Our most recent paper with Sage Boettcher, @freekvanede.bsky.social and @kianobre.bsky.social is out @plosbiology.org! 🪩 Sensory and motor working-memory contents are both prioritised dynamically, but their prioritisation can be temporally decoupled 🧠

Only a small % of people engage in toxic activity online, but they’re responsible for a disproportionate share of hostile or misleading content on nearly every platform Because super-users are so active, they dominate our collective impression of the internet www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...

Interested in working memory, EEG, and computational modeling? @elkanakyurek.bsky.social is looking for a PhD student to work on an exciting project in lovely @rug.nl #Groningen in The Netherlands 👉 www.rug.nl/about-ug/wor... 👈 @rug-gmw.bsky.social

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...

Our study using layer fMRI to study the direction of communication between the hippocampus and cortex during perceptual predictions is finally out in Science Advances! Predicted-but-omitted shapes are represented in CA2/3 and correlate specifically with deep layers of PHC, suggesting feedback. 🧠🟦

In a new paper, @anakrajinovic.bsky.social, @cogirmak.bsky.social, and I show that living vs. non-living entities are marked differently for motion in graphics. This is similar to spoken languages, so we propose a possible universal across modalities onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

New Preprint with @edamizrak.bsky.social! Performance in immediate memory tasks reflects a flexible mixture of contributions of #workingmemory and LTM. Distraction disrupts WM, while PI impairs retrieval from LTM; when both are in play, performance depends on the relative reliability of each system

#VSS2025 I’ll present our preprint on sensorimotor processes in working memory gating tomorrow! Catch me in Pavilion during the afternoon poster session! Besides, would love to chat about more on wm as a function of interacting with the environment - either in the session or during party times 😄🎉

Dear #VSS2025 attendees! Our lab will be presenting 5 posters over the next two days. We’re excited to share our work: Come visit us!

Abstract submission is now open for WMS2025 (Deadline: May 31st)! Working memory ECRs, we look forward to receiving your submissions!!! wmsymposium.org

Happy to share that this work is now (finally) published in JEP:HPP 🕺 psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-...

Motor control processes moderate visual working memory gating www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #neuroscience

Bringing together our findings on microsaccade biases during rehearsal and selection in visual working memory, suggesting a 'silent spatial scaffold' for working memory whereby spatial organisation stays preserved even if active space-based rehearsal has ceased www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Exciting new preprint with former lab member @sahcan.bsky.social and his supervisor, Daniel Schneider. Şahcan's work reveals how action correspondence influences working memory gating, increasing atraction bias toward distractors that share action plans with working memory items.

Preprint Alert!! In our latest study, we describe a novel relationship between action planning and working memory. Our results show that action-item associations affect how working memory maintains the fidelity of sensory information during a task. Check it out: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

❗️Preprint alert ❗️ When I was a college student in my neuroscience classes, I was always told that neuroimaging research involves a trade-off between statistical power and available resources. But what if you could have both? 1/n

A while ago, I wrote a review on temporal integration as an adaptive process in perception, attention, and working memory. I’m very happy that it has now appeared (Open Access) in Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews! 1/3 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

So happy that this is now accepted for publication in Psychophysiology! 🥳

We are currently seeking nominations for a new Editor-in-Chief at @psychonomicsociety.bsky.social journal, AP&P, whether it be you or a colleague you'd like to nominate! For details, see our announcement at www.psychonomic.org/page/2025app...

Our review out in TiCS spearheaded by Mathilde Bonnefond on the latest ideas on the functional role of alpha oscillations and distractor inhibition - e.g. we highlight that alpha increases might reflect perceptual target load rather than distractor anticipation authors.elsevier.com/a/1kFXN_V1r-...

ok, this just posted. It's a sincere question, and I'm hoping that responses to it/discussions of it will clarify questions that many of us have about claims being made about putatively disruptive effects of AI on how we think about the brain. doi.org/10.21428/8e6...

My latest writing on why we need more #exploratory research. I'm curious what people think about it. rdcu.be/d1Fkj
