New paper out on value-based prioritization in visual WM. We used hDDM to account for speed/accuracy tradeoffs and isolate memory benefits from perceptual/motor benefits.

[Working Memory Symposium @WMSymposium]

Attention Early-career Working memory researchers! It's 3 more days until WMS abstract submission deadline (May 31st).
If you have cool WM research that you want to share to the vibrant community of WM researchers, please submit your abstract (https://t.co/mhO2vi9Egq)

[Joey Saito @jsaito25]

Now out in Current Opinion in Neurobiology! We propose that biases in perception & memory emerge naturally from an adaptive, hierarchical human learning system. w/ @timothyfbrady + Twitterless et al.

With @monicarosenb, we showed that individual diffs in LTM encoding is uniquely predicted by inter-electrode correlations even controlling for working memory abilities. This suggests that WM & LTM encoding are separate abilities coded by different neural signatures! 1/2

[Eren Günseli @eren_gunseli]

Excited to share our new paper on how distraction affects memory retrieval.

Using a continuous report paradigm, we show that distraction reduces whether memories are accessed but not how precisely they are represented.

Effects of TMS on the Decoding and Electrophysiology of Priority in Working Memory https://t.co/h7afA8jRAE

More evidence for a (not-inhibitory) role for oscillatory dynamics in the low beta band for the encoding of priority in WM

We are recruiting!

My lab at the University of Haifa is looking for new team members to join our research on the links between sensory perception (focus on #smell and human #olfaction) and human memory.

Please help me spread the word

New paper out 🧠 We synthesize findings from aging, ADHD, dyslexia & OCD and propose that event segmentation emerges from the interaction of attention, working memory, and schemas/contextual modulation https://t.co/H9DV7CZFrl

[Eren Günseli @eren_gunseli]

Our new review with Berna Güler (@brnglr93) is out!

We ask a basic but under-specified question: What shapes the segmented nature of episodic memories?

Janna W. Wennberg & John T. Serences from the University of California, San Diego find that similarity-driven compression during encoding supports biased but more precise working memory.

New preprint! We mapped out how ‘diffuse’ predictions affect neural representations. We show predictions reshape the geometric layout of neural representations by compressing the representational spread and stabilize the neural code by reducing the neural variance during encoding
