🔥 New preprint!

Excited to share Johannah's fantastic work -> a preregistered study with two replications showing how uncertainty shapes perceptual insight.

As always, it’s been a great ride working with Johannah and Carlos.

Episodic memory encoding fluctuates at a theta rhythm of 3–10 Hz Nature Human Behaviour - Biba et al. show that episodic memory encoding fluctuates at a theta rhythm of 3–10 Hz.

I am excited to share my first paper, showing that episodic memory formation is theta rhythmic, is now published in Nature Human Behavior! Check it out here: rdcu.be/e6pzS. Thanks to my PI, Katherine Duncan, and to my collaborators for their support on this journey! Stay tuned for iEEG follow up 🧠

Why do people seem to prioritize semantic stuff when holding info in working memory? Had lots of fun trying to shed some light on this question, together with the great @ckerren.bsky.social and @lindedomingo.bsky.social

1/9 New paper with @gonzalezgarcia.bsky.social and @lindedomingo.bsky.social : “Characterising semantic prioritisation in visual working memory.”
Core question: when we hold visual info briefly in mind, what gets accessed first: perceptual details or semantic meaning?

Interesting reading

How do we balance external attention to the outside world and internal attention to our thoughts & memories?

We review evidence that external and internal attention can compete, unfold concurrently, or cooperate!

Loved working on this with @samversc.bsky.social & @tobiasegner.bsky.social!

Can we just say that spring has arrived?

The "publish or perish" culture must perish. Scientists need time to think.

We just published our Slow Science Manifesto, where we argue that huge changes are needed in the way we fund, publish, and evaluate science.

New preprint 🚨

Across multiple tasks, we show that higher-level info is more readily accessible in WM before evidence accumulation begins. Attention then boosts perceptual detail.

A lot of fun with my colleagues @ckerren.bsky.social and @gonzalezgarcia.bsky.social

Remember: The happiness of an accepted paper lasts exactly until you open the editorial checklist 🫠

Do you work or study in the fields of psychology, neuroscience, computer science, artificial intelligence, or philosophy?

What does the term 'representation' mean to you?

We invite you to participate in a brief survey on key conceptual questions across fields.

The will of the rich and powerful: Brexit and the Epstein files The Epstein files reveal the role of Brexit in a global network which stands to gain from undermining democracy itself

The Epstein files show that Brexit was never a “plucky British revolt”. In reality, Brexit was fed, and empowered, by an entire class of oligarchs and autocrats, who thrive on chaos, weak regulation and brittle institutions.

the cutoff scores for #MSCA postdoc fellowships are very high this year. has the score distribution shifted compared to previous years? I made a plot with scores from past years.

if scores are at ceiling level, the process becomes essentially a lottery, because minor issues can lead to deductions.

Interpreting EEG requires understanding how the skull smears electrical fields as they propagate from the cortex. I made a browser-based simulator for my EEG class to visualize how dipole depth/orientation change the topomap.
