I'm so tired of seeing this argument – as working memory is a limited resource, and as the modern environment is now so information-rich and complex, and as our brains evolved in the olden times to have dopamine reward circuity - ATTENTION SPANS ARE CRATERING INTO THE GROUND. youtu.be/t0qq9R__XiQ

Can We Process Information Without Encoding It into Working Memory? Our findings with @gidon-frischkorn.bsky.social and @koberauer.bsky.social suggest that processing entails encoding. Task-irrelevant information enters working memory during processing, impairing memory for relevant information.

A feature in Nature examines the research about aphantasia, which is the experience of people with no mental imagery, and how it could offer a window into consciousness. #Neuroskyence 🧪

Many people have no mental imagery. What’s going on in their brains?

People with aphantasia are offering a window into consciousness.

Interesting @pubpeer.com thread. A paper was retracted because "one of the authors acted as a reviewer". pubpeer.com/publications... The authors respond that it's the editors' fault for inviting an author as a reviewer. The author honestly didn't recognize their own manuscript (it was double blind)
