Neural Signatures of Flexible Temporal Orienting under Spatial and Motor Uncertainty

Abstract. The goal-dependent use of temporal expectations enhances visual performance, even without concurrent spatial or motor predictions, yet the underlying neural mechanisms remain unclear. To ide...

Attention operates in a changing world, so attentional priority maps must likewise be dynamic. Our (Sage Boettcher, @visualattentionlab.bsky.social, @gwenlliams.bsky.social, Nir Shalev) TiCS paper argues this and propose key questions for future work hoping to account for dynamic priority maps.

Making time for a dynamic attentional priority map

Attentional priority is typically conceived as a static spatial map, despite attention operating in a continuously changing world. We propose a dynami…

New paper with @paulm-k.bsky.social and Mark Stokes on how we switch internal attention between working memory contents. Beta-band oscillations tracked the magnitude and success of these switches. www.jneurosci.org/content/46/1... #neuroskyence

Human Beta Oscillations Reflect Magnitude and Fidelity of Priority Shifts in Working Memory

Flexible prioritization in working memory (WM) is supported by neural oscillations in frontal and sensory brain areas, but the roles of different oscillations remain poorly understood. Recordings in h...

Thrilled to have this preprint out, from the amazing Zekun Sun! "Motor abstraction training generalizes to the refinement of specific movement patterns" In brief, across 8 experiments we found evidence of a causal role for abstract representations in motor learning www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

The B&C Lab is excited to attend the @vssmtg.bsky.social. William, @sabomelinda.bsky.social, and @irenetxeberria.bsky.social will each present posters. Lab alumni @danielagresch.bsky.social and @jamalamal.bsky.social will also present projects conducted in collaboration with the B&C Lab. #VSS2026

New paper (first from my PhD!) out in Visual Cognition ✨ @tandfresearch.bsky.social With the wonderful Sage Boettcher @dynacog-lab.bsky.social & Kia Nobre @brognition.bsky.social We ask how temporal expectations can help us find targets in dynamic, cluttered environments when location is unknown.

Curiosity-filled conversations sparked this project and teamwork has carried it forward 🫂 It's been a huge pleasure to be a part of it with @birtandemirel.bsky.social, Sage Boettcher @dynacog-lab.bsky.social, @kateewatkins.bsky.social and Kia Nobre @brognition.bsky.social 🍀 Find out more 🦑🗣️⌛️⬇️

Now out in #ScienceAdvances: @baiweiliu.bsky.social and I ask how internal (goal) and external (sensory) selection are coordinated during visual search. The key insight: internal and external selection are not inherently serial, but may develop in parallel in the human brain: doi.org/10.1126/scia...

Concurrent selection of internal goals and external sensations during visual search

Internal and external selection processes can codevelop in time to yield efficient search behavior.

#Attention modulates sensory contents of #WorkingMemory, but what about motor contents? @irenetxeberria.bsky.social &co show that brain representations of both sensory & motor contents of WM are modulated by attentional shifts, & are temporally uncoupled @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/46bUrY8

Looking for a summer read? Look no further! ☀️ Our most recent paper with Sage Boettcher, @freekvanede.bsky.social and @kianobre.bsky.social is out @plosbiology.org! 🪩 Sensory and motor working-memory contents are both prioritised dynamically, but their prioritisation can be temporally decoupled 🧠

Sensory and motor contents are prioritized dynamically in working memory

Attention flexibly modulates sensory contents in working memory, but the dynamics of motor content modulation in working memory remain unclear. This study shows that brain representations of both sens...

Excited to present my poster today at #VSS2025! Come by Banyan Breezeway this afternoon to explore how our brains learn patterns in time and space to guide attention. Big thanks to Irene (@irenetxeberria.bsky.social), William (@william-nm.bsky.social), Pranava, and Kia for making this work possible!

📢 New paper out in JoN [@sfnjournals.bsky.social]! With Larissa, Freek [@freekvanede.bsky.social], Kia [@brognition.bsky.social] and Sage [@dynacog-lab.bsky.social], we ask which and when WM contents get reselected after an interrupting external-attention task. 🧵 below (1|9) doi.org/10.1523/JNEU...

Neural Dynamics of Reselecting Visual and Motor Contents in Working Memory after External Interference

In everyday tasks, we must often shift our focus away from internal representations held in working memory to engage with perceptual events in the external world. Here, we investigated how our interna...
