Wrapping up the roundtable discusssions above the rooftops & finishing the day with great views of Hamburg #YSR2025

Day 1 of the #YSR2025 in Hamburg is in full swing with walks and lots of high quality ECR presentations! 🔬🧠

New paper from Hatice Cinar's PhD, in Memory & Cognition.... Prioritising feature bindings across space and modality in working memory rdcu.be/eLz40

@irahyman.bsky.social My students in an attention seminar are asking whether change and inattentional blindness are products of the dense information environment of a city. I was wondering if any one has run e.g. the door study on someone in the country. >

This sounds plausible to me. But if it’s true, it means that the age of social media might be over soon, with only the old and wrinkled (like myself) spending any actual time there.

This piece starts well: "At MIT, I study the history and future of education technology, and I have never encountered an example of a school system – a country, state or municipality – that rapidly adopted a new digital technology and saw durable benefits for their students."

🚨 Less than 1 week to apply! Save your spot for this year's @biodgps-dgpa.bsky.social Young Scientist Retreat here: tinyurl.com/ycmyshra #YSR2025 #Biopsychology #YoungScientists

Visual cognition and attention people, can anyone help me track down a copy of the classic Neisser & Becklen video? I can't find it on Youtube. @irahyman.bsky.social ?

Excited to release the SPOT grid: a new image set that factorially crosses scene-object & texture-pattern pairings. We hope these stimuli will be useful to researchers aiming to (partially) disentangle the contributions of lower- and higher-level visual features to behavior & brain activity. 1/

Decades in science taught me this: inequity won’t end with optics or lip service. The system won’t transform itself. Real change means building sideways: horizontal collaborations, valuing local expertise, and setting other terms for authorship, funding, and leadership.

I wrote my new Nature World View in this transition — one last reflection before leaving Colombia. It explains why inequities persist in science, even when dressed up as inclusion, and why we must stop mistaking access for change. 👉 rdcu.be/eGEun

Equity in science is still a beautiful lie. After 27 years in Colombia — shaping me as a person and scientist — I begin a new chapter as Distinguished Researcher @csic.es in Spain. Yet I learnt that geography, networks & prestige still outweigh merit, favoring privileged colleagues, conscious or not

So tiring. I had a chance to talk face to face with ppl in power positions who by default thought my gender & critical thought imply I know nothing about AI. Within 10 min they realise they know nothing about AI. Why do women need to always do massive meta-labour to even get an ounce of respect

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! @jocn.bsky.social #workingmemory #cognition #cogneuro #cogsci #neuro

📢 Save the Date! Our next IGOR Hackathon is happening Friday, October 10th (9:00–15:00) Join us to: 🚀 Get to know ongoing IGOR projects 💡 Brainstorm new project ideas 🧠♻️ Engage in discussions on open and reproducible science in biopsychology Stay tuned, the detailed program will be shared soon!

Not long after I started my lab, a prominent scientist told me it was “impossible” to be a successful PI and a mother Don’t ever let the naysayers tell you it can’t be done - of course it can! #HappyMothersDay this weekend to all the amazing scientist mamas raising their wonderful kids 🥰

... and delivered. Thanks to @manuruz.bsky.social - @eegmanylabs.bsky.social, @alinakoppold.bsky.social - @igor-dgps.bsky.social, Elena Cesnaite - @eegmanypipes.bsky.social and @lauraklatt.bsky.social - @scone-neuro.bsky.social for holding a mirror to cog #neuroskyence #ICON2025 🙌

📣 Attending #ICON2025? Don’t miss this symposium today at 13:45! Featuring @alinakoppold.bsky.social who will present an ongoing IGOR project: "From Raw to Refined: How Data Transformations Shape Effect Sizes and Reliability" #openscience #neuroskyence

🚨 This is TODAY! 📍Auditorium ⏰ 13:45 #ICON2025 #CogNeuro #AcademicSky #MetaScience

Thrilled that our new review "Motor Working Memory" is now in press at TiCS! @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social @cellpress.bsky.social By me + Hanna Hillman We argue that a dedicated research program on 'working memory for movements' is long overdue Link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1lmMX4sIRv...

1/4 I’m really excited to share that my first PhD manuscript has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Neuroscience 🎉! Until it becomes available, don’t forget to check out our updated preprint (with some additional insights) #JNeurosci

Agreed! Fantastic keynote!

New pre-print day! Distributed and drifting signals for working memory load in human cortex 🧠 (with Ed Awh & @serences.bsky.social) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Make sure to stop at Ceren Arslan‘s (@scannedfruits.bsky.social) poster at #ICON2025 today at 3:30! She‘s presenting some of our recent EEG work on audiovisual object storage in #WorkingMemory! 👇

Update: the room was changed to the Auditorium! @manuruz.bsky.social @ckeitelsci.bsky.social @alinakoppold.bsky.social #ICON2025

record 17,058 Marie Curie proposals in 2025 vs. 10,360 in 2024!!! the reason is pretty obvious, but wow that is a huge jump marie-sklodowska-curie-actions.ec.europa.eu/news/msca-po...

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! 🚀

After the conference is before the conference. #ICON2025 in #Porto now starting! #AcademicSky #PostdocLife

1/3 - Has it really already been two weeks that I was on my way to #ESCOP2025?! @vmloaiza1.bsky.social @cvonbastian.bsky.social - thank you & your entire team for making it a truly amazing conference!

Hey #memory folks, check out this new preprint by @joschadutli.bsky.social , @koberauer.bsky.social, and @leabartsch.bsky.social showing that elaboration benefits are likely driven by aiding in establishing efficient retrieval cues.

The next installment (October 8th) of our OPAM Training Workshop series will feature Dr Caro Hautekiet (of Vrije Universiteit), who will be discussing pre-registration and registered reports. Visit this page for info on all our (free!) workshops: www.opamconference.com/workshops-su...

Yes, this was a really great experience! Thanks for @cvonbastian.bsky.social and @vmloaiza1.bsky.social for asking us to do this as part of #ESCOP2025! And if you are interested in having a similar workshop for your PhD Programm or similar, feel free to reach out!

Big milestone today ✅Just submitted my #MSCA proposal 🚀 Grateful for the support from Uta Noppeney and to everyone who shared their previous proposals with me! Now off to prepare my talk for #ICON - looking forward to seeing collaborators, colleagues and friends in Porto next week!

Looking forward to reading this👇!

Thanks, @ellecordova.bsky.social

Amusing how 99% of people using LLMs forget how these things work: They are advanced probability machines. They generate the next most likely token (word) based in the input and their training. Under the hood, it’s a giant matrix multiplication that has eerily good output.

Tomorrow afternoon I'll be presenting my symposium talk at #ESCoP2025 titled "Meaningful and familiar stimuli support visual working memory for simple features"! See you there!

Very excited to present at #ESCOP2025 this week. Catch my talk in the 10.30am slot on Wednesday! "Working Memory Beyond the Item"

On my way to Sheffield for #ESCOP2025 🚊

Our target discussion article out in Cognitive Neuroscience! It will be followed by peer commentary and our responses. If you would like to write a commentary, please reach out to the journal! 1/18 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... @cibaker.bsky.social @susanwardle.bsky.social
