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!

New paper: the โ€˜Double Ring Illusionโ€™!
Does the visual system integrate *intuitive physics*? This new illusion developed by Brent Strickland and I offers a straightforward demonstration โ€“ one that you can experience yourselves!

Weโ€™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! Iโ€™ll also be happy to chat at the #Bernsteinconference this week.

Started a new postdoc at Yale in @brognition.bsky.social Lab with Kia Nobre! Studying adaptive cognition in humans using brain recordingsโ€”both on and in the head. New lab, new city, new chapter!

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...

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. ๐Ÿงตย below (1|9) doi.org/10.1523/JNEU...

Bringing New Focus to the Mind Kia Nobreโ€™s persistent inquisitiveness led her to study focus โ€“ how the brain anticipates, prioritizes, and selects info to guide behavior.

Huge congrats to @kianobre.bsky.social on receiving the CNS Distinguished Contributions Career Award! Get a sneak peek of her award lecture in this interview where Kia shares insights into her early inspirations in cognitive neuroscience and her latest work. www.cogneurosociety.org/bringing-new...
