New preprint with @SamJung @timbrady.bsky.social and @violastoermer.bsky.social: osf.io/preprints/ps.... Here we uncover what might be driving the “meaningfulness benefit” in visual working memory. Studies show that real objects are remembered better in VWM tasks than abstract stimuli. But why? 1/

our manuscript is now published in PLOS Bio!

excited to share this new preprint w/ Melissa and @racheldenison.bsky.social we measured the representational geometry of orientations using behavioral similarity judgements, and found that attention expanded representations around target orientations with a broader compression around distractors

recently posted a new preprint (the first of my postdoc 🎉) where we implemented normalization across space *and* time, allowing us to capture several neural and behavioral findings! I'll be presenting this work at VSS in a couple of months too for those attending www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
