"Due to financial uncertainty, the Psychology Research Experience Program has suspended operations, and the PREP summer research opportunity program will not be active during the Summer of 2026. Consequently, we are not accepting applications at this time."😠

"We hope to inspire curiosity ... prompting researchers to uncover why children experience the world so distinctively and what this reveals about cognitive development." @jocn.bsky.social's November issue presents a special focus on the development of event segmentation: #NeuroSky #cognition

Spatial attention and working memory are popularly thought to be tightly coupled. Yet, distinct neural activity tracks attentional breadth and WM load. In a new paper @jocn.bsky.social, we show that pupil size independently tracks breadth and load. doi.org/10.1162/JOCN...

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...

A big win for @neuromatch.bsky.social and for our students, TAs, and mentors! So proud of the hard work that went into making this happen and grateful to the NIH for their support!

I’m super excited to finally put my recent work with @behrenstimb.bsky.social on bioRxiv, where we develop a new mechanistic theory of how PFC structures adaptive behaviour using attractor dynamics in space and time! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New work led by Jackie Fulvio that adds to growing evidence that dynamics in parietooccipital low-beta oscillations play an important role in the encoding of priority in visual working memory. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Congratulations to Assistant Professor João Guassi Moreira who was awarded a 2025 Brain & Behavior Research Foundation Young Investigator Grant! Stay current with his work at cdnlab.psych.wisc.edu/CDNlab/

The Dept. of Psychology at the U. Wisconsin–Madison has an opening for an Assistant Professor in the area of Computational Neuroscience and/or Cognitive Science, with an emphasis on artificial intelligence (AI). Domain of behavior or cognition is open. Details at jobs.wisc.edu/jobs/assista...

I can't quite believe it – I got a new NSF grant! 😲🤯 I'm incredibly grateful to the program officers & reviewers for their dedication and efforts to keep science going 🌟👏🏼 So, I'll be hiring! Looking for a postdoc to study competition in memory-guided attention. See flyer for details! 🎉

This special issue "invites submissions on research areas recently de-prioritized and/or de-funded that address or discuss how social cognition approaches can aid in the understanding of these critical societal issues." Plz consider submitting!

Excited to share my first fMRI paper in @pnas.org We found that suppressing the encoding of one event can strengthen the neural representation of the next in CA1, and bias retrieval-related neural restatement away from suppressed information. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

🧵(1/7) In late 2024, we surveyed ~6,000 MIT Press authors to understand their views on large language model (LLM) licensing and partnership practices, and to ensure our practices align with their priorities. 850+ responded. Here’s what we learned…

I gave a talk in 2009 about feature-based attention and a famous vision scientist asked how top down signals from PFC could possibly target the right sensory neurons. The best I could do was "uh, dunno". sunyoungp.bsky.social has a much more thoughtful answer journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol...

Psychology Research Experience Program (PREP) Symposium 2025, done & dusted

Evidence for dlPFC contribution to #memory suppression using #TMS! Now accepted @jocn.bsky.social. Great team effort and collaboration with Gesa Hartwigsen’s lab @mpicbs.bsky.social‬. We also had an exemplary experience at the journal with editors @barense.bsky.social‬ & @bradpostle.bsky.social‬.

By entirely funding more awards up front, the NIH is on track to fund just 1 in 25 applications Such a payline “would chase a lot of people out of science” former NCI director Ned Sharpless told us 🧪🔬 www.statnews.com/2025/07/29/n...

🚨 Just about a week left to celebrate all our fantastic female colleagues in #workingmemory by nominating them for the #WomWoM research fairy award! 🚨

#Bradfest Symposium in honor of @bradpostle.bsky.social 60th Birthday.

Hivemind: Soliciting recommendations for a cognitive psychology textbook, thx!

Because we must build good things while we scream about the bad, I have started a "Data for Good" team @data-for-good-team.bsky.social that partners with organizations needing short-term data science help. We have three projects ongoing & will add more as our capacity grows. data-for-good-team.org

Now out at @elife.bsky.social, a short Insight article I wrote highlighting this cool paper from Qing Yu's lab! They show how working memory representations in human frontal cortex are flexible based on task goals and rules. (elifesciences.org/articles/100..., elifesciences.org/articles/106...)

Calling all science advocates!! Carlos Brody+ are creating a searchable database of tangible science benefits, and they need you. publicusaresearchbenefits.com They are asking for suggestions - from brief to lengthy. The database is state-searchable, so all 50 states. Please spread the word!

Thanks @bradpostle.bsky.social & @wmatchin.bsky.social for organizing this, for giving me the opportunity to present on behalf of @imagingneurosci.bsky.social, and for this excellent write-up of the session 🙏🏻 Next up: #ISMRM2025 🏝 diffusion study group, where I'll make a cameo to talk about this!
