I saw @behrenstimb.bsky.social talk about this work at @bacn.co.uk a couple of weeks ago, and it blew my mind. Absolutely lovely work.

I’m super excited to finally put my recent work with @behrenstimb.bsky.social on bioRxiv, where we develop a new mechanistic theory of how PFC structures adaptive behaviour using attractor dynamics in space and time!

Fantastic work by @tessamdekker.bsky.social investigating how “what we know” influences “what we see” across development, including both young and aging populations

On the train back from Edinburgh #BACN25 with my head buzzing from all the great cognitive neuroscience. Loads of enthusiastic, supportive discussion from everyone I talked to so a really great conference!

This year, I spent March–June at the University of Oregon, working with @mmarneweck.bsky.social on an fMRI analysis of the representational pattern similarity of lip and hand movements after upper-limb amputation.
Excited to share this at #BACN25 ✨ Find me at the datablitz/poster sessions on Friday!

Was meant to be presenting at #BACN25 on Thursday. Unfortunately, COVID has decided otherwise. My poster will still make an appearance though. Even better? It’s presented by @aidanhorner.bsky.social instead! Go check it out on Thursday along with other lab posters on narratives, objects and schema.

🚪🧠 Ever wondered if walking through doors really changes your memory? At #ESCOP25 today I’m at Board 19 showing how spatiotemporal boundaries impact recall in VR. Although time matters, it’s more to do with using it effectively!
This poster presents work that examines how spatiotemporal boundaries influence recall. Previous research suggests that such boundaries improve memory (Logie & Donaldson, 2021). It remains unclear, however, whether the benefit comes directly from the boundaries or from the post-encoding processes they permit, such as elaborative rehearsal. Across three experiments, participants studied words in a virtual environment under different conditions: (1) Non-segmented: continuous word presentation in a single room; (2) Segmented: a new room introduced every four words, creating spatiotemporal boundaries; (3) Non-segmented (time): continuous word presentation in one room, with structured pauses to match the timing of the segmented condition. In Experiment 3, the segmented condition was replaced by a non-segmented (task) condition, which used the same timing as the non-segmented (time) condition but filled the pauses with a 2-back task to prevent rehearsal. Findings were as follows: Experiments 1 and 2 showed better recall in the segmented and non-segmented (time) conditions compared to the non-segmented condition, with no difference between segmented and non-segmented (time). Experiment 3 found reduced recall when a task replaced the free period. However, it did not replicate the earlier benefit of non-segmented (time) over non-segmented. Overall, the results suggest that recall advantages observed in earlier work may be due to post-encoding processes rather than the boundaries themselves. The next experiment will test whether elaborative rehearsal or resource allocation during encoding better explains these effects by systematically varying the presence of free periods and tasks.

Edinburgh looking stunning on the first day of #BACN25 - if the science is as good as this view I’ll be very happy!
