When #scicomm = learning by laughing! Last Saturday, I took part in an improv show by The Catalyst (thecatalyst.ch) - an Anglophone sci-tertainment collective based in Lausanne, CH. I gave a 5-min layperson-friendly talk on #workingmemory, which the improvisers then used as inspiration for a skit 🧠🎭

Yes to all of it; I am all of it.

Even though I can’t actually eat broccoli.

And another #ICWM2024 post! For those that missed my poster, here it is. I am showing 3 years worth of experiments, split into effects of multisensory distractors on #workingmemory performance in purple, and performance effects of multisensory memoranda in yellow.

What a wonderful #workingmemory time at #ICWM2024 🧠 I learnt a lot, got to discuss ideas and get feedback from the brightest minds in the field, all while having a great time. So glad to be a part of this community!

Last week, I guest lectured on scientific writing & publishing in a brilliant initiative by @evievergauwe.bsky.social - a Master in Psych course on good research practices & the hidden curriculum in academia. One semester of things I wish I knew when I signed up. So happy to have been a part!

The Jacobs-funded mini-team is representing at SSECR 💪 Our posters on the effects of distractors of different sensory formats on developing #workingmemory generated lots of interest.

Watch this space for papers coming soon!

My time at the @womcogdevlab.bsky.social is officially over. Though it’s sad to leave, I am thankful for an amazing 3 years, all the support, collaborations, important lessons and fun times… And this decked out desk on my last day💖

On to new adventures in #workingmemory and may we cross paths soon!

6/8: The decoding generalised over time, showing that representations detected at perception were also detectable during the WM maintenance period.

5/8: The answer: YES WE CAN. We found above-chance decoding between visual, spatial and verbal information during perception, and WM maintenance.

Thanks to everyone who dropped by my poster on Decoding children’s #workingmemory content #SfN2023 ! Publication is imminent, but here’s the preprint in the meantime: www.biorxiv.org/content/bior...

Please be mindful of what language your post is set to. It might not be the same as the language you write in, and it can mean that your post might not be seen by people whose apps are only set to see posts in given languages.

I’ll do that too. I guess another thing to be mindful of is what language your post is in. Maybe yours was auto-set to French?
