🗣️👄Thank you Bryan Sanders (from the Neuro-psycho-linguistic research group in Geneva) for presenting your interesting PhD work on speech modulation!👄🗣️
He performed EEG analyses (e.g.,microstates) to compare neural timecourses of speech preparation for loud, whispered, regular,& fake accent speech.🧠

This semester, we were delighted to have @koberauer.bsky.social visit our lab for a few days. He gave a thought-provoking talk on his computational model of working memory ⚙️🧠
We greatly enjoyed the presentation and the engaging discussions that followed, and we hope to welcome him back again soon!

Are item &order memory separate or intertwined? Thanks @johannahein.bsky.social for positioning this dilemma for us in lab meeting, along with early findings from tasks with reduced item- or order load. We can see why you’re torn between the 2 positions &hope your research can help sort things out!

Item vs order: a battle for attention? @johannahein.bsky.social shared her research on how attention supports the maintenance of what’s remembered & in what sequence. We’re looking forward to the next series of results! And yes, we’ll be keeping everything in order for the line-up of lab updates 🧠📋

⏳⏰🧠 Tic-toc, it’s research o’clock! In today’s lab meeting, our teammate Ruiheng Zhang shared her latest work on how free time affects working memory. With some early results already on the table, it seems future insights are just a matter of time… we’ll definitely be sticking around for seconds!🧠⏰⏳
