OpenWMData A collection of publicly available working memory datasets

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.

Will read with great interest. I've become interested in the limits of representational flexibility some time ago

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

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.

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.

PhD position — Rademaker lab

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

For instance, 93% participants who memorized the carpet from the picture above correctly recognized that carpet when it was tested against the handbag. But only 64% of those who memorized the bag could recognize it against the carpet. In fact, both the carpet and bag are to blame in each case! 2/4

In a new preprint with Nick Chiang and Wilma Bainbridge, we show that our visual recognition memory is often asymmetric, and sometimes even hugely asymmetric. These asymmetries are consistent across people, and we know how to predict them
