New paper with NicoleAnayaSosa and @violastoermer.bsky.social now out in Perception! "Testing location invariance of the flashed face distortion effect" journals.sagepub.com/eprint/WVUFW...

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!

We are now recruiting STEM mentors for the 2025-2026 graduate school application cycle! ⏰ Mentor applications close on July 31st, 2025 ⏰ ✨ APPLY HERE: dashboard.project-short.com ✨ Questions? Email us: [email protected] #gradschool #phd #phdapplication #gradadmissions

New paper with LaurenWilliams, @timbrady.bsky.social, and @violastoermer.bsky.social now out in JEP: General! "Limits of verbal labels in cognition: Category labels do not improve visual working memory performance for obfuscated objects" psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-...

Today afternoon I’ll be presenting my poster at #vss2025 titled “Perceptual and conceptual contributions of the real-world object benefit in visual working memory: Is looking like an object good enough to enhance memory?” See you at Pavillion!

New paper with Kaira Shlipak and @violastoermer.bsky.social now out in Journal of Memory and Language! “Fluid intelligence correlates with working memory capacity for both real-world objects and simple-feature stimuli” www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Excited to see everyone at #VSS2025 - Come check out what my lab has been up to over this past year:

Hello VSS friends! Want feedback on your current projects? Submissions for our pre data collection poster satellite are still open until tomorrow. More info here: www.visionsciences.org/2025-pre-dat... @vssmtg.bsky.social @shansmann-roth.bsky.social @willngiam.bsky.social @yonghoonchung.bsky.social

The deadline is coming up to present at the pre-data poster session at #VSS. It's the perfect venue for those who want to have a conversation about an idea or a topic (especially early-career researchers who may not have something in-the-works!). #visionscience www.visionsciences.org/2025-pre-dat...

New Preprint with @timbrady.bsky.social and @violastoermer.bsky.social : www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Here we show increased neural delay activity associated with remembering features as part of real-world objects. 1/

Tomorrow morning I’ll be presenting my poster at CNS @cogneuronews.bsky.social B10: “Increased neural delay activity for simple features when they are remembered as part of real-world objects” Come chat with me about how semantic associations may improve feature working memory! #CNS2025

Presenting my poster @opam.bsky.social today 11:30am: “Can you remember them better because they are familiar or because they look real? Testing the contribution of object-ness in visual working memory with novel objects” See you all there!
