Thank you @annemscheel.bsky.social for visiting us in Geneva, we were delighted to get to know & exchange with you!💬

Your insightful meta-science talk put the underlying structure of research (the different processes of scientific discovery, testing, & inference) into perspective - so helpful! ⚙️🤓

We’ve submitted our official statement on Switzerland’s 2027 austerity package. Why? Because cutting education and research means cutting our future. SwissRN stands for rigorous, transparent and reproducible science - this needs stable funding, not short-term savings.

Item vs order: a battle for attention? @johannahein.bsky.social shared her research on how attention supports the maintenance of what’s remembered & in what sequence. We’re looking forward to the next series of results! And yes, we’ll be keeping everything in order for the line-up of lab updates 🧠📋

⏳⏰🧠 Tic-toc, it’s research o’clock! In today’s lab meeting, our teammate Ruiheng Zhang shared her latest work on how free time affects working memory. With some early results already on the table, it seems future insights are just a matter of time… we’ll definitely be sticking around for seconds!🧠⏰⏳

Congratulations to Kishen Senziani, master student and research assistant in the lab, who very successfully defended his thesis yesterday 🎉🥳🙌
He examined the role of gamma oscillations in improving learning in children and young adults

In this week’s lab meeting, our lab member Christina Lutz @luchris.bsky.social presented her work on differences in conditional reasoning between adults and children, across different test modalities. We had great discussions and are already looking forward to hearing more about her results soon🤩

We are looking forward to this semesters’ program! 🤩
Starting off *this Friday* already, with a fun Game on Open Access by de Andrade and colleagues (2021, University of Antwerp)

See you there!🚀

This week, we had the pleasure of having Alexandre Fortuna present his work in our lab meeting!😊
Alexandre is a PhD student at the University of Geneva, examining the effect of retro cue validity on memory resource allocation and attentional template efficiency.

Ever wondered why only some memories 🧠 come easily? Our latest work (osf.io/preprints/ps...) led by S. Haridi, with @ericschulz.bsky.social, shows that targeted memory retrieval speeds up with precise semantic and temporal retrieval cues. Hence, crafting cues can give you instant access to memories⚡

We love to share new papers on here. But how many of the studies that scientists preregister on the Open Science Framework are never shared publicly? In a new paper in AMPPS we estimate 40% of preregistered studies are never shared. That’s a lot. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
