🚨New paper out in JEP:HPP with @AndreSahakian @SuryaGayet Chris Paffen @SvanderStigchel!In this study, we asked whether memory traces are formed for items that have not yet been selected for immediate action, while we are actively sampling targets for imminent action.

New paper out by the awesome Luzi Xu!
We asked whether mere exposure to (currently disregarded) visual objects, expedites encoding of these objects into memory when we select them for action later. Our data show that we passively build up memory traces for (non-selected) items.

🚨My first paper with @SamsonChota @LUZIXU1 @SvanderStigchel @SuryaGayet accepted in Consciousness and Cognition (sciencedirect.com/science/ar…)
We asked whether the impact of VWM content on early visual processing depends on the priority state of memory items

This Friday (29-11) @HelmholtzSchool are hosting another public lecture. All are welcome to attend!
The lecture starts at 16.00 in Ruppert Paars, with drinks afterwards.
Abigail Marsh: "Altruism, care, and the extended self"

New article w/ @arora__borealis!
A recent paper (@freekvanede @KiaNobre) found a neural correlate of sampling from memory representations to guide decision-making. We discuss the findings and provide future steps.
Now in Journal of Neuroscience

New article in AP&P! Quick 4-tweet thread below:
1/ Humans rely heavily on the external world as an "external memory store". This has been shown time and time again. Here we wondered if this changes when items have time to consolidate in memory.

New preprint alert!
In the first project of my PhD, we use RIFT to show that the visual system is not passively recruiting mechanisms of external attention for prioritization in VWM, but is instead using space as an organizational principle to store and select items in VWM.

We have a few datasets which didn't warrant standalone publications, but shouldn't go to waste.
Here are 3 visual search datasets (4 exps, total N=151) in hopes that others find it useful osf.io/preprints/osf/kgpq4. Please do reach out for questions!

Conference two out of three ✅ #NRSIG2024 is a wrap. On to the last poster!
Attending #GNC2024? Please drop by at poster 5,64 on Thur. 16:15-18:50 to see how memory capacity and memory beliefs influence how we choose to use our eyes and memory 👀 @INSneuro @AttentionLabUU

Prof. Jeremy Wolfe will join us for the next Helmholtz Lecture on June 14th: “OMG! How did I miss that? Dealing with ‘Normal Blindness’”. Want to know more about visual search and why we miss things right in front of our eyes? See 👇bit.ly/3VoFNa3

New paper @JCgntn:
VWM offloading depends on availability of external information doi.org/10.5334/joc.364
Any disruption to the constant availability of external info is a driver of increased VWM usage, but changes to predictability of availability have little further effect

Ook al kijken jij & ik misschien wel precies de zelfde kant op, we ZIEN waarschijnlijk iets heel anders. In deze explainer video van de @UniversiteitNL leg ik uit hoe onze bewuste waarneming van de wereld, gevormd wordt door onze kennis en verwachtingen.

Ja! Mijn nieuwe boek is er! In Beter leren kijken ervaar je hoe je met verschillende filters naar de wereld kunt kijken. Want door je eigen waarneming te sturen, zie je opeens specifieke details of juist grotere patronen die je anders zouden ontgaan.

In a dynamic world, items appear, disappear, and reappear within seconds. In our latest preprint we show: the reappearance of maintained items guides the prioritization of non-reappearing memory items.

Hearing loss in one ear impairs orienting towards sounds. But when we can also see the sound source, our visual system compensates for asymmetric hearing loss, and we can still accurately locate the multisensory event. You do lose some speed though!
@HelmholtzSchool @UniUtrecht
New paper out in @EJNeuroscience on how sudden hearing loss affects multisensory integration. Read more here (open access): doi.org/10.1111/ejn.16263

How do encoding and internal prioritization shape the precision of visual working memory representations? Pupil size shows that external and internal attention are deployed as continuous resources, and jointly contribute to VWM precision.
