Target Fidelity, but not Inducer Fidelity, Modulates Repulsive Serial Dependence of Visual Working Memory Representations
Visual representations are open to systematic functional biases. In visual working memory, representations of serially presented stimuli can either attract or repel each other. Such serial dependence ...

📢New preprint w/ ayaecanb.bsky.social! Noisy visual representations strengthen repulsive serial biases but inducer uncertainty doesn’t. Working memory adapts to reduce error in ways that exceed simple Bayesian explanations.

A new addition to my “Visual Phenomena and Optical Illusions” collection: “Mainz-Linez”. Here's the live demonstration and explanation of the somewhat mysterious title: michaelbach.de/ot/mot-Mainz.... Enjoy!

Check our new Psych Science paper w/Daniil Azarov & Daniil Grigorev. Although an ability to recognize a familiar object among new ones clearly depends on how many and which objects there are, we show a remarkable stability of underlying "representational spaces"

Jane Goodall's work insisting, with evidence from her brilliant and tenacious fieldwork, that we were not so separate from animals, and they were much more like us than the Eurocentric theorists asserted, was so important.

We show that attentional cues can override automatic outlier detection in visual ensembles. Even salient "odd ones out" aren't immune to where attention is directed. rdcu.be/eqVsS

Science has no passport but I do. Unfortunately, mine needs visas too. And guess what we don't have in Turkey? Visa appointments.

I literally dreamed up a new experimental paradigm last night. Stay tuned to see if I make a breakthrough or just lose my mind.

Working memory people, is there a paper with a good dissection of sources on noise in VWM? Like, how much the noise of the initial percept adds, how much it is worsened during the delay period, how much is added during the report... #workingmemory #vwm #cogpsy
