Exciting to share that our paper is out now! Using EEG + RIFT, we reveal the temporal dynamics of attentional competition between target and distractor in early visual processing. We show that distractor initially compete with the target, and then suppressed. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Dynamic competition between bottom-up saliency and top-down goals in early visual cortex - Communications Biology

Using Rapid Invisible Frequency Tagging, we show that a salient distractor initially competes with target processing but is later actively suppressed, revealing the timeline of how bottom-up saliency ...

A collaborative guide to Rapid Invisible Frequency Tagging (RIFT): Methods, insights, and recommendations. New paper by Kabir Arora & al. With Cecília Hustá, @lindadrijvers.bsky.social doi.org/10.1162/IMAG.a.1273

A collaborative guide to Rapid Invisible Frequency Tagging (RIFT): Methods, insights, and recommendations

Abstract. Rapid Invisible Frequency Tagging (RIFT) is a recent advance in frequency tagging that exploits novel, high-frequency displays to modulate luminance at imperceptibly high frequencies. RIFT g...

Planning on running a RIFT study? In a new manuscript, we put together the RIFT know-how accumulated over the years by multiple labs (@lindadrijvers.bsky.social, @schota.bsky.social, @eelkespaak.bsky.social, with Cecília Hustá and others). Preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps...

Spatial attention and working memory are popularly thought to be tightly coupled. Yet, distinct neural activity tracks attentional breadth and WM load. In a new paper @jocn.bsky.social, we show that pupil size independently tracks breadth and load. doi.org/10.1162/JOCN...

If you were as unfortunate as me, and missed King Kabir (@arora-borealis.bsky.social)'s talk at #ECVP2025 on the differences (in early visual processing) between internal and external attentional selection... no worries, you can find the paper here: share.google/TDIZCDK9puB6...

Excited to give a talk at #ECVP2025 (Tuesday morning, Attention II) on how spatially biased attention during VWM does not boost excitability the same way it does when attending the external world, using Rapid Invisible Frequency Tagging (RIFT). @attentionlab.bsky.social @ecvp.bsky.social

And now without bluesky making the background black...

Excited to share that I’ll be presenting my poster at #ECVP2025 on August 26th (afternoon session)! 🧠✨ Our work focused on dynamic competition between bottom-up saliency and top-down goals in early visual cortex by using Rapid Invisible Frequency Tagging @attentionlab.bsky.social @ecvp.bsky.social

Looking forward to @compcogneuro.bsky.social's #CCN2025, which takes place in my backyard this year. If you are there as well, hook me up for a chat, and go and visit @lassedietz.bsky.social, @liangyouzhang.bsky.social, and @arora-borealis.bsky.social's posters on Tue/Wed/Fri. [1/2]
