Meet our visiting Grad Student Ecem!
She is Ph.D. candidate in Neuroscience at the University of Würzburg, studying attentional and learning processes in fear conditioning. At VAL, she focuses on visual foraging under threat, manipulating the spatial distribution of threat and value of targets.

Sadly learned of the passing of Prof. Margaret Boden, an inspiring thinker.
Grateful I had the chance to listen to her talk 7 years ago at the "2018 Religion & Science Conference: AI & Consciousness", organized by Cambridge Muslim College.
I found the video, highly recommend it:

As somebody who studies self-control (but is bad at it), I read this 2025 open-access review on the self-control of eating (tinyurl.com/bdnebw79) by Mann & Ward w/ great personal interest. I highly recommend it, esp. if you study self-control and/or want to deal w/ your eating regulation challenges.

I read a really old article on broad and narrow attention by Wachtel (1967), and I found this sentence deeply relatable "...the extremely anxious individual becomes a slave to minor variations in the perceptual field, which demand most of his attention and leave him confused and disorganized."
