What is #Curiosity?
We have 12 open PhD positions, and 2 PostDoc positions to investigate the neural basis and the cognitive concepts of curiosity, starting summer 2024.
Join us in Göttingen!

People at #LEARNMEM2023 go meet the great @FriedaBorn for brandnew results on long-term consequences of WM processing (w/ surprises)

Happy to be presenting my first poster at #LEARNMEM2023 today.
Come to 2.4.74 if you want to chat about the work that I’ve been doing with @BernhardSpitzer on how WM retrieval from prioritized and deprioritized states influences how well something sticks to LTM.

Our MEG study on serial biases in working memory is now out: https://www.jneurosci.org/content/43/15/2730.abstract. Led by @JasperHajonides, with @freekvanede, @KiaNobre, and @StokesNeuro. Results are consistent with work by Tim Sheehan and @serences - http://plos.io/3exMZxq. Jasper's thread on the preprint: https://twitter.com/JasperHajonides/status/1455863356313767941

My paper with @luohuan_huan is just out in @PLOSBiology ! We find that feature-specific reactivations of past information can bias the present feature representation, thereby mediating repulsive (sensorimotor features) and attractive serial biases (abstract category choice). https://twitter.com/plosbiology/status/1640390220746047493
Did you ever wonder _why_ grass is always greener on the other side? Well, here's a normative model explaining repulsive (grass is greener on the other side) or attractive (grass is more similar to your side) biases when it comes to memory and perception: https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.03.26.534226

We are plannig to fill a fully funded PhD student position (3-year, TVÖD E13 65%) this year to work on fMRI, working memory and its intersection with higher-level cognition. Early inquiries asap via: discolab.eu/join-the-team/ Please Boost

When working-memory contents have distinct past and future locations, does the brain code them with regard to the past, the future, or both? As our new preprint reveals, both: https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.01.30.526235
New article together with Stefan Czoschke, Benjamin Peters and Jochen Kaiser. We found that items stored for distinct tasks in visual working memory reside in a common workspace as they showed similarity-tuned repulsion and precision decrease.

How is visual #perception 👀 different from visual #memory 💭?
Computational constraints limit the precision of reactivated memories in visual cortex.

New preprint on executive functions! The results tell a new story, very different, from classical ideas that different executive functions belong to different areas of the frontal lobe.

Take your time to read it!
very excited about this new work! TemplateFlow is a repository for human and other brain templates and atlases, which operates under the FAIR principles.

New paper: 🎉 we show
1) that WM capacity limit is primarily a limit on the ability to maintain bindings
2) a double dissociation of contributions of WM & eLTM to performance: at set sizes larger than 3, LTM strongly contributed to performance, yet SS 2 was driven by WM

Maybe our last tweeprint, who knows, but since I haven't figured yet how to format it for Mastodon, you can find a quick summary thread of our new study "Geometry of visual working memory information in human gaze patterns" (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.11.17.516917v1) there: https://twitter.com/BernhardSpitzer/status/1593592523372519427?s=20&t=6E5OPPIvCq5ehx7cXf9BXA
