🚨New paper altert🚨 As a synthesis of my PhD research, we revisited the prevailing assumption about the mechanisms underlying repetition learning, and re-evaluated these assumption in light of recent findings. Now out in Perspectives on Psychological Science: doi.org/10.1177/1745...

'to treat peer review as a throughput problem is to misunderstand what is at stake. Review is not simply a production stage in the research pipeline; it is one of the few remaining spaces where the scientific community talks to itself.' 1/3

Are there really “male” and “female” brains?🧠 This piece unpacks how #Research design, small samples, and #Binary assumptions can create misleading narratives about #Sex/#Gender differences in #Neuroscience, and how #Neurofeminism offers a more rigorous alternative.

My first TEDx talk just came out. It's always fun to talk about your own research area to the general audience, and its even more fun when you are lucky enough to be supported by such a platform. Happy to hear your thoughts :-) youtu.be/UyUclyHx8d8?...

🎓Fully-funded PhD studentship in Computational Cognitive Neuroscience!!! Join @seanfw.bsky.social and myself at @tcddublin.bsky.social for a PhD at the intersection of cutting-edge cognitive neuroscience (OPM-MEG) and neuro-AI. 🗓 Deadline: 5 Feb 2026 #neurojobs #neuroscience #compneuro

Die @dfg.de erlaubt zukünftig KI-Einsatz bei Begutachtung & hat damit hier letzte Woche viel Empörung & Irritation hervorgerufen, m.E. zu Recht: KI-Nutzung droht immensen Schaden für Wissenschaft & Demokratie (!) anzurichten. Verantwortung auf Gutachter_innen abwälzen: keine Lösung. #ArbeitInDerWiss

DFG erlaubt Einsatz von KI in der Begutachtung. Wenn wir jetzt noch die AI dazu kriegen, die komplette Forschung zu machen, haben wir den Menschen komplett von der Last des Forschungsprozzeses befreit und er kann sich komplett auf wichtige Dinge wie Reisekostenerstattungsanträge konzentrieren.

The Visual Attention Lab @visualattentionlab.bsky.social at BWH/Harvard is recruiting for a postdoc

Make it your New Year resolution to add a #workingmemory dataset to OpenWMData so that we can curate our field's precious data, start testing theories and benchmarking models across datasets, conduct secondary analyses and meta-research using the data itself, and help me feel like I'm, like, alive.

I am aksing the hive (birdnest/cloud?) mind again: How long does an academic cover letter / letter of motivation need to be? Its my first time officially applying for jobs in the academic market and dont know a lot about the conventions yet. Also: I'm looking, in case you are hosting ;)

Happy to share our new paper in @nathumbehav.nature.com: t.co/Ciq7AKvle5. Using 500k+ behavioral trials, we show that #serialdependence deviates from #Bayesian predictions, pointing to a new narrative about how recent experience shapes perception. @aozkirli.bsky.social @achetverikov.bsky.social

🚀 Excited to announce that I'm looking for people (PhD/Postdoc) to join my Cognitive Modelling group @uniosnabrueck.bsky.social. If you want to join a genuinely curious, welcoming and inclusive community of Coxis, apply here: tinyurl.com/coxijobs Please RT - deadline is Jan 4‼️

Please repost! I am looking for a PhD candidate in the area of Computational Cognitive Neuroscience to start in early 2026. The position is funded as part of the Excellence Cluster "The Adaptive Mind" at @jlugiessen.bsky.social. Please apply here until Nov 25: www.uni-giessen.de/de/ueber-uns...

Do you have an open working memory dataset and want it to be findable and reused? You can now add it to the Open WM Data Hub: williamngiam.github.io/OpenWMData! The collection of datasets tagged with useful metadata is steadily growing thanks to a small team of volunteers!

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.

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/

Academic career symbolized in a picture. #Ichbinhannah #postdocchatter

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
