How do we prevent memories from competing to guide attention? More distinct hippocampal representations for competing memories are linked to precise preparatory coding in visual cortex & more accurate eye movements to target locations. Thrilled to share this work by the incomparable Serra Favila!

New Blog post: Which Data Repository Should you Use? In light of OSF closing down, I compare Zenodo, Dataverse, ResearchBox, PsychArchive, and local repositories on six important dimensions. If you want to know which to pick: It depends! daniellakens.blogspot.com/2026/08/whic...

On a quick skim, the core function that OSF will fulfil is registration of studies (plus protocols and analysis plans) and hosting preprints. This means we will need to find data repositories for new projects following mid-November; perhaps Github, Zenodo, or university-operated commons.

Avec l’âge, la vue, la proprioception ou l’oreille interne deviennent moins efficaces. Mais que se passe-t-il dans le cerveau ? Une nouvelle étude montre que les personnes âgées mobilisent davantage de ressources mentales pour garder l’équilibre et réagir aux imprévus.

I’ve been leading a few discussions on #AgenticAI in research lately. Honestly, every department should organize a colloquium on this ASAP. It's evolving so fast, students are using it, and many don't understand risks like prompt injections. Many opportunities too. Put this on your agenda! 1/2
