More on all this and on the different latencies involved in the readout from sensory memory represenations in the preprint --> https://t.co/NUqbOGTgFa
Many many thanks to @konigpeter @johndylanhaynes @IsSamTaf for this fun and unexpected journey :)

New priprint!
When I started my PhD (ages ago), I ran what I thought was a pilot for several iconic memory experiments down the line. This was interesting because iconic memory is (allegedly) linked to rich perceptual experience, and so I had many questions. 1/🧵

[Karla Matić @kmatic94]

We also looked at whether availability is driven by array size or how crowded they are. We saw that crowding affects not only perception (i.e. encoding) but also memory decay. We suggest this is because it is harder to read out of crowded memory representations.

I'm seeing more & more people use partial correlation during model comparison to identify the contribution of a model to prediction *after controlling* for other models. However, the correct approach is *not* to use partial correlation. A brief explanation. 🧵 1/n

How does our brain enable us to make sense of our visual world? 🗺👀🧠

Excited to share our latest work with @Chris_I_Baker and @martin_hebart : “Distributed representations of behaviorally relevant object dimensions in the human visual system”

Our lab currently has an open postdoc position in the field of perceptual neuroscience.

Specific questions: w flexibility, and a focus on vision;
Techniques: open (fMRI, E/MEG, iEEG, stim, modeling);
Salary: $70,000 or higher (w excellent benefits);
Start date: flexible in 2024

Why are we conscious? Don't say "I know the answer". Instead, come help us figure out the best way of asking the question. To do so, join the fab @erc_experience team. Extra credit for a computational cognitive neuroscience background.

Excited to share that we found modules in visual cortex for segmenting a visual scene into objects. Find more details in our paper just published in PNAS (https://t.co/gHnoWSNBKh) or the summary thread below: (1/8)
