📢 PsyArXiv 12 Days of Christmas 🎄 🧑‍🎄 🎁

PsyArXiv moderators will be taking a holiday break from Dec 24 to Jan 4. Please avoid uploading work to the archive during this time to prevent a backlog, and expect some delays in moderation. We aim to clear any holiday backlog by Jan 16.

Happy Holidays!

We are very proud of Sage! So well deserved! 🥳

📣 Out in TINS (@cp-trendsneuro.bsky.social):

Neural processing is often described as either externally or internally directed. In our new Forum article, we (@freekvanede.bsky.social & Kia Nobre) propose a multilevel framework for conceptualising external and internal continua of brain processes.

This project has only been possible through a real team effort!

In the same spirit, we hope these resources continue to grow, and we really welcome any feedback or contributions to help us improve and expand what we've shared.

How the brain shifts between external and internal attention Focusing on relevant contents to guide adaptive behavior is a core property of the brain. For decades, scientists have investigated mechanisms to anti…

Out in @cp-neuron.bsky.social now! Kia and I argue that attention research would benefit from a stronger focus on how the brain shifts between external and internal attention. We outline competing hypotheses, review existing behavioral and neural findings, and highlight open questions.

First post on Bluesky! Check out our new paper (w/ @abclab.bsky.social @brognition.bsky.social) in Nature Communications @natcomms.bsky.social (featured in Editors' Highlights🌟)!

We investigated how attention operates differently within WM and LTM:

Neural Dynamics of Reselecting Visual and Motor Contents in Working Memory after External Interference In everyday tasks, we must often shift our focus away from internal representations held in working memory to engage with perceptual events in the external world. Here, we investigated how our interna...

📢 New paper out in JoN [@sfnjournals.bsky.social]! With Larissa, Freek [@freekvanede.bsky.social], Kia [@brognition.bsky.social] and Sage [@dynacog-lab.bsky.social], we ask which and when WM contents get reselected after an interrupting external-attention task. 🧵 below (1|9) doi.org/10.1523/JNEU...

Feature-temporal predictions dynamically modulate performance, feature-based attentional capture, and motor response activity during visual search Recent research has investigated visual search in dynamic environments and considered how temporal predictions modulate behaviour over time. Spatiotemporal predictions have been shown to adaptively gu...

🎉 Excited to share the first preprint from my PhD research!

Huge thank yous to Sage Boettcher (@dynacog-lab.bsky.social) and Kia Nobre (@brognition.bsky.social) and everyone else that supported this work!

Excited to see this latest paper from my PhD out! Huge thanks to everyone who contributed!

Getting down to business with our first lab retreat at Brasenose College, with @abclab.bsky.social ! Full of writing, coding, and a bit of puzzlement (an essential part of writing, naturally).

Forum article out now in Trends in Cognitive Science 🙂

We highlight 'sensorimnemonic decisions' as a key process that determines whether and when we use memory in coordination with sensory sampling to guide natural, free-flowing behaviour.

Thanks to EPS and everyone who stopped by the poster!
