Really happy this is finally out (psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-...). A lot of work (4 experiments!!!) by @alexandrenobre.bsky.social ! #neuroskyence

This looks like a really nice proposal. Looking forward to reading it.

POSTDOC Opening: I'm hiring a postdoc to work with me, @ayeletlandau.bsky.social, and Yuval Benjamini on a 4-year NSF funded project to understand timing and memorability in the visual system. fMRI, EEG, eye-tracking all included.

If interested, please DM or email me for more information!

AI slop and the destruction of knowledge This week I was looking for info on what cognitive scientists mean when they speak of ‘domain-general’ cognition. I was curious, because the nuances are relevant for something I am researching at t…

Any tips for a good lab management tools? We tried Trello and Notion, but in both cases we stopped after a couple of weeks. Extra points if free. #AcademicSky

Modern theories of emotion (especially “interoceptive inference”) often cite William James as a key inspiration. But what did James actually say about emotion, and is it supported by the data? Here’s a brief look at the core arguments and classic evidence. 🧵

Please feel free to share these opportunities with anyone who might be interested. I don’t have any formal relationship with FAPESP (just some funding from them), but I’d be happy to talk with anyone who is curious or thinking about applying and help however I can.

FAPESP recently announced two new calls to attract international researchers to São Paulo. Both opportunities include grant funding and scholarships, and could be interesting depending on career stage and plans. #neuroskyence #AcademicSky

Here is a quick summary of each:

Hello Bluesky!
Our students are running a short survey on interoception, ADHD, and autism. If you’ve got a few minutes, they’d be so grateful if you could take part — and help spread the word!

I am a bit bashful about sharing this profile www.thetimes.com/uk/technolog... of me in @thetimes.com, but will do so because it kindly refers to my new book which is coming out in early March. www.penguin.co.uk/books/460891....

Subjective time is embodied time. My talk on February 26 (10 am EST, 3 pm GMT, 4 pm CET). Abstract and link for registration below.

Thanks!

I am pretty sure @alexandrenobre.bsky.social looked at it, but I don't think we did formal testing on it. Do you have an idea of what's going on?

I was positive it was something about action improving learning, but, in general, sequential effects did not change much with/without action.

Why does this happen? We are not sure yet, but it seems that action somehow modulates how we estimate the probability of occurrence of events. (7/7)

Interestingly, this effect only showed up when FPs varied within a block. When FPs stayed constant, the difference vanished! This suggests that voluntary actions interact with uncertainty in temporal preparation. (6/7)

We found that: (1) When people triggered an event themselves, their RTs were slower than when the same event was externally triggered; (2) This was especially true for shorter delays (FPs), but the difference disappeared for longer FPs. (5/7)

Here, we explore how voluntary actions shape temporal preparation. In 4 experiments, participants responded to visual stimuli that appeared after a delay, sometimes triggered by their actions and sometimes externally. (4/7)

How movements shape the perception of time In order to keep up with a changing environment, mobile organisms must be capable of deciding both where and when to move. This precision necessitates…

However, it is also well known that action can modulate time perception (like nicely reviewed by @martinwiener.bsky.social ) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... (3/7)

The hazards of time Temporal expectations are continuously formed and updated, and interact with expectations about other relevant attributes of events, in order to optim…

It is well known that the probability of an event occurring at a given time can modulate behavior. Although the exact mechanisms behind this effect are still unclear, this is one of the most replicated effects in temporal expectations. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... (2/7)

Happy to share our new preprint on how voluntary actions modulate temporal anticipation with @alexandrenobre.bsky.social as the lead author: osf.io/preprints/ps...
🧠📈 #cognition Some might remember him presenting this at @timingresforum.bsky.social in Lisbon.

My heart is still with Fernanda Torres. Although I think Demi Moore will win.

We discuss these temporal scales based not only on NLP but also on a more qualitative review. In the long run, we think this approach can also help (when used with caution) to map how different scales are related in other and even between different fields.
