I regret to information the Bluesky philosophy community that Michael Friedman, noted philosopher of science and ground-breaking historian of Kant, neo-Kantianism, and logical positivism has died. May his memory be a blessing. #philsci

Excited to share my first experimental paper! We tackle how practice shapes cognitive control by running a month-long Stroop task. Here’s a 🧵: (1/n) doi.org/10.3758/s134...

A great feature about our research by @scinews.bsky.social. Had a bit of a philosophical debate with the editors: initially “memory” was in quotation marks, and the first sentence conditionalized it as “metaphorical”. But I stood my ground. There’s no sense in which “brain memory” is more “real”!

The #IPM4.5 call for papers is open! Taking place on 22–23 May, this year's conference introduces a new format. We invite early career researchers to submit abstracts by 1 March. Submit here:

The sense(s) of touch provides a boundary through which we can understand ourselves. How is this sense of bounded self retained in memory? Iva Apostolova is at The Memory Palace today, exploring the connections between memory and touch. Check it out! #philsky #philscisky

The Memory Palace@philmemopalace.bsky.social · 2y ago

A very exciting post from Iva Apostolova (St. Paul University) on the the relationship between touch and memory! open.substack.com/pub/thememor...

TL;DR: This is a request for historical pieces where the idea of a memory trace is implicated.

Our article "Where memory resides: Is there a rivalry between molecular and synaptic models of memory?" is now properly published and out (open access).
