Dynamic competition between bottom-up saliency and top-down goals in early visual cortex Task-irrelevant yet salient stimuli can elicit automatic, bottom-up attentional capture and compete with top-down, goal-directed processes for neural representation. However, the temporal dynamics und...

🧠 Excited to share that our new preprint is out!🧠
In this work, we investigate the dynamic competition between bottom-up saliency and top-down goals in the early visual cortex using rapid invisible frequency tagging (RIFT).

#ECVP2025 starts with a fully packed room!

I'll show data, demonstrating that synesthetic perception is perceptual, automatic, and effortless.
Join my talk (Thursday, early morning.., Color II) to learn how the qualia of synesthesia can be inferred from pupil size.
Join and (or) say hi!

Anticipated Relevance Prepares Visual Processing for Efficient Memory-Guided Selection Finding an object typically involves the use of working memory to prioritize relevant visual information at the right time. For example, successfully detecting a highway exit sign is useless when your...

Excited to present at #ECVP2025 - Monday afternoon, Learning & Memory - about how anticipating relevant visual events prepares visual processing for efficient memory-guided visual selection! 🧠🥳

Excited to share that I’ll be presenting my poster at #ECVP2025 on August 26th (afternoon session)!

Excited to give a talk at #ECVP2025 (Tuesday morning, Attention II) on how spatially biased attention during VWM does not boost excitability the same way it does when attending the external world, using Rapid Invisible Frequency Tagging (RIFT). @attentionlab.bsky.social @ecvp.bsky.social

IRL/CAP-Lab meeting

I had loads of fun today, sharing thoughts and projects during a joint lab-meeting with @nadinedijkstra.bsky.social's Imagine Reality Lab. Two hours were way too short to discuss all the cool projects!

Thanks everyone for your contributions 💜
