Successful prediction of the future enhances encoding of the present.
I am so delighted that this work found a wonderful home at Open Mind. The peer review journey was a rollercoaster but it *greatly* improved the paper.

thrilled to share my first published paper!
across 3 behavioral experiments, we find that although encoding and prediction depend on distinct and competitive computational mechanisms, the success of one in behavior can increase the likelihood of success for the other.

he survived two years of genocide, reporting the news for us only to become the news story once the genocide was “over”

The beloved Saleh Al-Jafarawi has been murdered. We are absolutely devastated. For 2 years he reported on the genocide of his people, just for him to be murdered during the ‘ceasefire’

Israeli forces are reportedly deploying speedboats, larger vessels, and even paragliders against the remaining Global Sumud Flotilla ships attempting to reach Gaza, according to media sources.
The map shows that the Global Sumud Flotilla's Mikeno vessel has stopped, though it has not yet been confirmed whether it was intercepted or attacked by Israeli naval forces.

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:
“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”
Israel just killed him.

across 3 behavioral experiments, we find that although encoding and prediction depend on distinct and competitive computational mechanisms, the success of one in behavior can increase the likelihood of success for the other.
