PhD student in cognitive neuroscience at University of Münster and Lund University. Working on episodic memory updating after prediction errors. Also interested in future thinking and social influences on memory.
Just kicked off the Kyiv Winter School of Memory 2026 with over 70 participants of different universities in Ukraine. So rewarding to see this slightly crazy idea become a reality. Thanks to @linniplidot.bsky.social and Karine Malysheva (National University of Kyiv) for organising this with me.

Happy to belatedly share some good pre-Christmas news: My colleague Karine Malysheva from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv and I secured a Collaborative Diversity and Inclusion grant from @officialsarmac.bsky.social.

I'm excited to share our new paper about initial prediction errors, which arise spontaneously at first exposure to coherent novel stimuli.
In this study we investigated the neural and mnemonic consequences of initial PEs compared to those of experimentally induced PEs.

If there is an account on Bluesky that deserves way more followers, it is this one!
Ulric Neisser, b. 12/8/1928, an experimental Ψ and a founder of Cognitive Psychology. #Neisser earned his Ph.D. @harvard.edu in 1956. Rejecting Behavorism, his Rx examined the mental processes behind perception, memory, and behavior leading to a massive paradigm shift in the field of #psychology.

We secured a grant from Lund University, allowing us to invite two collaborators, Karine Malyesheva and Illia Zarubin, from Taras Shevchenko University Kyiv for a week. Great discussions on future possibilities.

That was an exciting week with NAC (Natural and Artificial Cognition) and the SweCog (Swedish Cognition) conference in Lund!🤩
We had the opportunity to present our research on eye tracking and multi tasking, social inferences, how our brain extracts specifics and gist, and war memories in Ukraine.

It was great to present my poster on distinct encoding after large predictions errors at ICON last week. Thanks to all who passed by to have a chat (i.e., shouting at each other at the top of one‘s lungs).

New Paper Out!
Why do some prediction errors (PEs) lead to changes in episodic memories and others do not?
Our new research supports the idea that the size of the episodic PE plays a crucial role in shaping mnemonic and neural outcomes.
These are the 4 most important results:

He also gave an oral presentation on how event outcomes influence the relationship between future thinking and remembering. Participants changed their assessment of how important elections were depending on whether the elections went their way or not - showing strong self-serving biases.

The abstract submission of GEM 2025, which is organised by my research consortium @for2812.bsky.social is now open. It's a great interdisciplinary conference on constructive memory - and I will organise the PhD symposium, so I'd be happy to see some Blueskyers there :)
