📢 New Publication Alert! Our study on cognitive control in healthy aging is finally out (for early access) in Communications Medicine bit.ly/48tkF9g We administered a comprehensive cognitive control test battery in 231 older adults (different cohorts) and 75 young adults 🧠 Key insights in 🧵(1/4)

PS is excited to announce the launch of "Individual Differences in Cognition” (IDIC), an open-access journal on research in cognitive psychology, science, and neuroscience. Co-Editors-in-Chief are Andrew R.A. Conway & Michael J. Kane. Manuscripts accepted this spring. More information coming soon!

Just landed here 👋 We’re NeuroSPACE, a KU Leuven Methusalem project bringing together 4 labs to explore how the brain combines domain-specific knowledge with domain-general cognitive abilities to shape human behavior. Excited to share our science and to connect with other curious minds here!

If we’re talking about ‘generational investment’, Canada needs faculty positions for postdocs. There have been virtually no cog psych/neuro jobs in the past three years.

My heart cannot handle this ballgame

Pretty much no one in Canada thought there would actually be a trade deal, and the general vibe is to just tune out whatever false hope is coming from the other side. But it's still crazy that a conservative message from a conservative US president is now too much for the US.

📣 New Paper Alert! My PhD student Hannah Ovadia and I wrote a concise update on “The Role of the Default Mode Network (DMN) in Aesthetic Appeal” to synthesize evidence, highlight issues, and most importantly, consider theoretical alternatives. Free access: authors.elsevier.com/a/1lz-h8MqMi...

At long last, the pre-print to our MEG study + RIFT study and the final paper from my Ph.D with @olejensen.bsky.social We show that strong pre-search alpha oscillations are associated with faster responses in visual search www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... @thechbh.bsky.social #neuroskyence

Manitoba is expanding its degree programs in Ojibwe and Cree. This is an example of the good that can happen when you elect a progressive, indigenous leader to run things.

A new paper from the lab, using 7T fMRI and MEG to shed light on how we read, specifically how the visual system encodes strings of letters and moves from retinotopic to ordinal neural codes. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

@dotproduct.bsky.social's first first author paper is finally out in @sfnjournals.bsky.social! Her findings show that content-specific predictions fluctuate with alpha frequencies, suggesting a more specific role for alpha oscillations than we may have thought. With @jhaarsma.bsky.social. 🧠🟦 🧠🤖

My paper with @stellalourenco.bsky.social ‬is now out in Science Advances! We found that children have robust object recognition abilities that surpass many ANNs. Models only outperformed kids when their training far exceeded what a child could experience in their lifetime doi.org/10.1126/scia...

Excited to share a new article from @icevislab.bsky.social! In a sample of over 60 people, we found distinct neural differences underlying object and face recognition in dyslexia. These findings highlight crucial domain-general visual processes that may contribute to word reading challenges.

It shouldn’t need saying, but these institutions are not going to stop capitulating to Trump until they have reason to fear the cost of doing so. And that burden is on the public to impose. Protest, boycott, strikes, mockery, whatever. Make them feel it, or they won’t stop.

there is still beauty in the world

I want to get to a stage in my career where I don't feel the need to appease every one of Reviewer 2's requests.

1/ New paper out in @commsbio.nature.com, led by @marinv.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1038/s420...! Across several past studies, we showed how newborns' degraded vision may benefit human development and inspire more robust deep networks. We have referred to this as Adaptive Initial Degradations (AID).

For everyone out there working at the intersection of vision and language. We are currently accepting submissions for a Journal of Vision Special Issue on the vision-language interface Submission deadline: Dec 31st jov.arvojournals.org/ss/visionlan... #neuroskyence #VisionScience #PsychSciSky

boy Ontario is just so thoroughly squandering this moment

Really excited to share this work. We know quite a bit about how reward associations influence attention in visual search but little about how they impair or facilitate conflict processing. We hope this study improves our understanding of how reward influences conflict processing and attention.

Wholly agree with this. LLMs are an extraordinary technical achievement, but they're like dynamite: You can use them for a bunch of different things, but you might not like the collateral damage when you use them for tasks they're not suited to.
