New paper out w/ Katherine Duncan and Morgan Barense! Why do some memories update when our expectations are violated, while others remain stable? What matters most is the strength of a memory at reactivation—not how old it is. And, I designed the cover! royalsocietypublishing.org/rstb/article...

Memory strength at reactivation, not memory age, governs prediction error-driven updating of naturalistic event memory

Abstract. Prediction error during memory reactivation is posited to be a key driver of memory updating. However, prediction error leads to varied memory ou

Excited to be presenting @wmsymposium.bsky.social tomorrow, July 16 at 11:45am CDT! I’ll be sharing my recent work where we provide evidence for a revised model of memory control, in which multiple distinct mechanisms support the regulation of intrusive thoughts. Hope to see you there!

WMS2026 will kick off tomorrow at 9am CDT! If you are interested in cutting-edge working memory research and ECR-promoting vibrant community of scientists, come check it out! Don't forget to check out the program (www.wmsymposium.org) and join the slack!

The first preprint of the UNSTOPPABLE @mahveenmubarak.bsky.social ! What an “unpredictable” ride it has been and I’m excited (and a bit scared) for what she is gonna discover when she “starts” her graduate program this fall!

What if simply predicting an event could trick your brain into remembering it as real, even when it never happened? 🧠 Very excited to share my very first preprint with @keisukefukuda.bsky.social, born from a question that seemed almost too counterintuitive to be true🧵 1/7 doi.org/10.31234/osf...

My favorite online conference of all times is happening in 2 weeks!!! If you are interested in checking out the cutting-edge working memory research and wholesome community of working memory researchers, don't miss out!!!

ATTENTION!!! The program of Working Memory Symposium (WMS) 2026 (July 14-17) is out! sites.google.com/view/wmsympo... This year, WMS will feature a single stream presentation of 52 talks (39 talks and 13 blitz) + 1 panel discussion across 4 days. Looking forward to seeing you all!!!

In collaboration with @monicarosenb.bsky.social , we showed that individual diffs in LTM encoding is uniquely predicted by inter-electrode correlations even controlling for working memory abilities. This suggests that WM & LTM encoding are separate abilities coded by different neural signatures! 1/n

New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Chong Zhao, Edward K. Vogel, and Monica D. Rosenberg: A unique neural signature of long-term memory encoding from EEG inter-electrode correlation doi.org/10.1162/IMAG...

Who in the world has a better job than I do? I get to see young brilliant minds grow as they push their boundaries to expand world’s knowledge. I’m surrounded by like-minded nerds who work their ass off for the same cause. Thank you all. Really, thank you. You inspire me. UTM PBS ROCKS.

New paper in PBR: "Working memory’s pointer system is governed by physical objecthood, not spatiotemporal information" rdcu.be/fd2tY Without valid WM pointers, we miss OBVIOUS changes in visible items; the study shows that this "resetting" process is all about objects and not spatiotemporal change!

This was such a joy!!! In this work, the brilliant @fridaprintzlau.bsky.social demonstrates the core features of VWM representations, namely its dynamicity and flexibility. TLDR: VWM dynamically shifts its representational geometry during maintenance depending on its task demand! What an ART!

🎉 New preprint 🎉 with Olya Bulatova, @drmack.bsky.social & @keisukefukuda.bsky.social! We decode shapes in working memory from EEG and show that representations are task-dependent, flexibly integrating information about category and task during the memory delay

New paper day! Whereas earlier studies have shown that human eye movement patterns are influenced by the physical properties of remembered stimuli, we show that they are also influenced by stimulus meaning. h/t to Ali Pexsa (not on bluesky) who led this work. tinyurl.com/4y4aev3a

Human eye movements track stimulus meaning

Working memory (WM) is a capacity- and duration-limited system that enables the representation and processing of fleeting sensory phenomena. Human fMRI studies indicate that brain areas associated wit...
