Extremely proud to be taking the torch from Sarah Shomstein at such an amazing journal. Got my first publication here. And my first chance at being an AE (thanks to Mike Dodd). It’s incredibly exciting to be the next EiC. Thanks to Pnom society for giving me the opportunity.
The newest member of our lab is Michelle Kass, an undergraduate Discovery Scholar. Her project will involve examining memory performance as a function of congruent or mismatched feedback. She is already a research assistant in the lab, but welcome to DSP, Michelle!

Graduation, Fall 2025 post (3 of 3): Last but most definitely not least, congrats to Dr Eben Daggett for the completion of his PhD. He is pictured here being hooded, as captured by the livestream. Thanks for always making me feel dumb in person (while looking smart in our published works), Eben.

We have a new publication out in Behavior Research Methods; a large database of threatening images (and similar but nonthreatening ones) rated for similarity. It should be of use to visual attention/memory researchers, those studying fear/phobias, and more. Find it here: doi.org/10.3758/s134...

We also have a pair of presentations at the upcoming @opam.bsky.social conference. Dr Eben Daggett will be giving a talk on dynamics in the attentional blink. And Mayte Alonso Carrillo (with Dr Giovanna Del Sordo and Dr Megan Papesh) will be giving a poster on pupillometry and sustained attention.

We've got some presentations coming up at Psychonomics. Dr Giovanna Del Sordo will be giving a talk (on using pupillometry to explore active/passive sustained attention) and Dr Eben Daggett will be presenting a poster (on how AI can be trained on human similarity data). Come on by!

I’m very happy and proud to announce that Eben Daggett has successfully completed his PhD. His dissertation (involving a ton of behavioral data collection and modeling) was on similarity perception and representationally-aligned artificial intelligence. Congratulations, Dr. Daggett!
