Our new preprint w/ @zhaochong.bsky.social and Ed Vogel investigates two major memory effects, list-length and serial position, with ERPs and EEG decoding. We find that neural correlates of these effects are dissociable

Well, you can consider me a data point from that part of the spectrum
It doesn't interact with color blindness, does it?
Excited to announce my first postdoc project at @UChicago with @WilmaBainbridge is now published in PNAS! Using computer vision and gen AI, we engineered memorable and forgettable symbols, showing memory can be optimized with data-driven visual design.

🚨Job alert! I'm recruiting a postdoc! If you want to study the time course of task-driven visual perception, please reach out! #neuroskyence #VisionScience #CogSci barnard.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Facult...
Check out our new Cognition paper about tracking capacity and aging. I'd like to highlight a new modeling framework for recovering the signal strength from sequential click distributions
The Visual Learning Lab is hiring TWO lab coordinators!
Both positions are ideal for someone looking for research experience before applying to graduate school. Application deadline is Feb 10th (approaching fast!)—with flexible summer start dates.
We are officially in search of a PostDoc to join the Visual Attention Lab at BWH and affiliation with HMS under PI Dr. Jeremy Wolfe!
Please see attached link for more details and post around! We are excited to hear from you!

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.
The ADAM lab is hiring a Research Specialist to join us! This role involves conducting human subjects research (EEG experiments on attention + working memory) and assisting with the execution and administration of ongoing projects.

Will read with great interest. I've become interested in the limits of representational flexibility some time ago
The newly minted Dr. Dr. (medical and now Ph.D.) @antonlukashevich.bsky.social is pictured here with his proud advisor @heidasigurdar.bsky.social -- not pictured is the newly minted Ph.D.'s advisor @utochkin.bsky.social and doctoral committee member @shansmann-roth.bsky.social Congratulations!🥳🥳🥳🥳
We see the forest, but what do we know about the trees? Our perception of ensembles may be richer than previously thought. Read more in a post by @ankosov.bsky.social on a new #psynomPBR paper by Vladislav Khvostov @khvo100v.bsky.social, Árni Gunnar Ásgeirsson, & Árni Kristjánsson buff.ly/3NCjHIz
View from your office onto Giessen and surrounding villages.
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:

Check our new Psych Science paper w/Daniil Azarov & Daniil Grigorev. Although an ability to recognize a familiar object among new ones clearly depends on how many and which objects there are, we show a remarkable stability of underlying "representational spaces"

We’re looking for a postdoc to join our Max Planck group in Germany some time in 2026. If you have computational and/or neuroimaging expertise, and are interested in questions intersecting perception and cognition, please reach out! I’ll also be happy to chat at the #Bernsteinconference this week.
1/ Why are we so easily distracted? 🧠 In our new EEG preprint w/ Henry Jones, @monicarosenb.bsky.social and @edvogel.bsky.social we show that distractibility is associated w/ reduced neural connectivity — and can be predicted from EEG with ~80% accuracy using machine learning.
Very excited to announce my first paper is out in @currentbiology.bsky.social! Using EEG, we identify an item-based measure of storage in working memory that generalizes across auditory and visual items.

For the cross-stimulus effects, I thought that the adaptor could reduce contrast sensitivity
I wonder what would happen if the stimulation is the same but the question is low-level - like "which color patch is more saturated"?
Also, do you think participants really have the value information about an entire multi-color display almost with no practice?
Cool idea. Your poster grabbed my attention at VSS this year. The exp with cross-dimensional transfer is smart.
I still cannot stop thinking about low-level explanations... I can speculate some in each experiment, but I can be biased by the individual stimulus examples in the figures
Experimentology cover: title and curves for distributions.
Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.
Curious about the visual human brain, a vibrant and collaborative lab, and pursuing a PhD in the heart of Europe? My lab is recruiting for a 3-year PhD position. More details: www.rademakerlab.com/job-add
Searching for a postdoc to work on 2 newly NIH-funded projects using intracranial EEG with TMS and direct electrical stimulation to investigate hippocampal networks supporting episodic memory. Research Scientist could also work for post-post-doc candidates. Plz spread!

Seems like visual awareness of ensemble information goes beyond summary statistics. Vlad Khvostov and colleagues show that people can report the prevalence of each specific feature in a set of objects and the shape of a feature distribution can be recovered from these reports. Neat!
Congrats Janna!
Thanks Will!
Check our preprint to learn more about why memorability inherently predicts asymmetric recognition, and what this means for memory theory. 4/4
We could accurately predict asymmetric performance from measuring “memorability” properties of individual items. The combination of items tendencies to cause true or false recognition drives their confusability when tested together. We found it with some fun signal-detection modeling. 3/4
