New pre-print w/ @keisukefukuda.bsky.social ! In this study, we show that memory biases selectively persist across time following perceptual comparisons, but not passive interference, even when observers abstain from making explicit memory reports.

New paper day! Whereas earlier studies have shown that human eye movement patterns are influenced by the physical properties of remembered stimuli, we show that they are also influenced by stimulus meaning. h/t to Ali Pexsa (not on bluesky) who led this work.

Human eye movements track stimulus meaning

Working memory (WM) is a capacity- and duration-limited system that enables the representation and processing of fleeting sensory phenomena. Human fMRI studies indicate that brain areas associated wit...

Now out in JEP:G! We (@fridaprintzlau.bsky.social & @keisukefukuda.bsky.social ) resolve inconsistent attentional protection in WM by addressing discrepancies in cueing. Upshot: Attention changes how perception biases memory, but *not* how memory biases perception!

EEG Correlates of Active Removal from Working Memory

The removal of no-longer-relevant information from visual working memory (WM) is important for the functioning of WM, given its severe capacity limitation. Previously, with an “ABC-retrocuing” WM task...

Who doesn't like a good model of the brain? Yet, from simple regression to neural nets, some limitations keep popping up (e.g., overfitting) @mjwolff.bsky.social & I saw some cool but puzzling data, ran a quick analysis & found one such limitation: model mimicry. Now in #naturecommunications &🧵below

Model mimicry limits conclusions about neural tuning and can mistakenly imply unlikely priors
