Our paper is now out at JNeuro! www.jneurosci.org/content/earl...
How do we avoid attentional capture by salient stimuli?
We found that inversions of singleton distractor representations support attentional suppression of salient items.

Upcoming presentations at Psychonomics. We have many super-cool projects on attention and working memory that you don't want to miss! See you in Denver! @psychonomicsociety.bsky.social @xiaojinma.bsky.social @chenyebao.bsky.social @yuezhang-mu.bsky.social @kaitlyndrennan.bsky.social
Thank you Brad! Great idea, I just added chapter divisions along the progress bar. A table of contents can also be found in the description box below the video.
Signal Suppression 1.0 was a big part of my grad school journey—shaping how I think about attention. I never imagined I’d one day contribute to the development of the 2.0 version of the theory. Grateful to be part of this new chapter 🍾
That's a wrap! The "R Workshop for Psychology and Neuroscience" is officially done. Two weeks coding and fun with amazing junior researchers. If you missed it, you can find the course materials (including videos) on our website. Thanks NSF for funding! See you next year...

Using a visual search task as an example, I’ll begin by showing you the completed project, then recreate the same task from scratch. General tips about PsychoPy and Python are introduced. By following along, you'll build a fully functional experiment identical to the example shown at the start.
I recorded a step-by-step tutorial of programming experiments in PsychoPy for undergrad thesis students in my lab. Sharing it here for anyone new to programming in psychology, or those transitioning to PsychoPy from other software. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMJX...
Celebratory dinner with the Luck and Gaspelin labs at VSS.
