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.

📢 PsyArXiv 12 Days of Christmas 🎄 🧑‍🎄 🎁 PsyArXiv moderators will be taking a holiday break from Dec 24 to Jan 4. Please avoid uploading work to the archive during this time to prevent a backlog, and expect some delays in moderation. We aim to clear any holiday backlog by Jan 16. Happy Holidays!

We are very proud of Sage! So well deserved! 🥳

🌟 We’re delighted to announce Dr Sage Boettcher (@ox.ac.uk) as the Rising Star: Early Group Leader winner at the #WiNUKAwards2025! Sage leads the Dynamic Cognition Lab, studying how attention and memory interact to guide behaviour. A dedicated mentor, teacher, and advocate for inclusive science.

📣 Out in TINS (@cp-trendsneuro.bsky.social): Neural processing is often described as either externally or internally directed. In our new Forum article, we (@freekvanede.bsky.social & Kia Nobre) propose a multilevel framework for conceptualising external and internal continua of brain processes.

This project has only been possible through a real team effort! In the same spirit, we hope these resources continue to grow, and we really welcome any feedback or contributions to help us improve and expand what we've shared.

☁️ Thinking of moving your VR experiments online but not sure where to start? ☁️ We’ve put together a tutorial sharing what we’ve learned, including code and step-by-step practical notebooks. osf.io/hax47_v1

Out in @cp-neuron.bsky.social now! Kia and I argue that attention research would benefit from a stronger focus on how the brain shifts between external and internal attention. We outline competing hypotheses, review existing behavioral and neural findings, and highlight open questions.

How the brain shifts between external and internal attention

Focusing on relevant contents to guide adaptive behavior is a core property of the brain. For decades, scientists have investigated mechanisms to anti…

First post on Bluesky! Check out our new paper (w/ @abclab.bsky.social @brognition.bsky.social) in Nature Communications @natcomms.bsky.social (featured in Editors' Highlights🌟)! We investigated how attention operates differently within WM and LTM: www.nature.com/articles/s41... (1/6)

📢 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...

🎉 Excited to share the first preprint from my PhD research! Huge thank yous to Sage Boettcher (@dynacog-lab.bsky.social) and Kia Nobre (@brognition.bsky.social) and everyone else that supported this work! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Feature-temporal predictions dynamically modulate performance, feature-based attentional capture, and motor response activity during visual search

Recent research has investigated visual search in dynamic environments and considered how temporal predictions modulate behaviour over time. Spatiotemporal predictions have been shown to adaptively gu...

Excited to see this latest paper from my PhD out! Huge thanks to everyone who contributed!

Newest from the lab out now! ☀️ We explored how long-term memory contributes to naturalistic memory-guided behaviour – not because we have to, but because we choose to. Find out more: www.cell.com/current-biol...

Getting down to business with our first lab retreat at Brasenose College, with @abclab.bsky.social ! Full of writing, coding, and a bit of puzzlement (an essential part of writing, naturally).

Forum article out now in Trends in Cognitive Science 🙂 We highlight 'sensorimnemonic decisions' as a key process that determines whether and when we use memory in coordination with sensory sampling to guide natural, free-flowing behaviour. www.cell.com/trends/cogni...

Thanks to EPS and everyone who stopped by the poster!
