1/4 I’m really excited to share that my first PhD manuscript has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Neuroscience 🎉! Until it becomes available, don’t forget to check out our updated preprint (with some additional insights) #JNeurosci
Preprint Alert!!
In our latest study, we describe a novel relationship between action planning and working memory. Our results show that action-item associations affect how working memory maintains the fidelity of sensory information during a task.
Check it out: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Motor control processes moderate visual working memory gating
Gating processes that regulate sensory input into visual working memory (WM) and the execution of planned actions share neural mechanisms, suggesting a mutual interaction. In a preregistered study (OS...

Always wondered about whether perception is temporally discrete or continuous ⏱️👀? Stop by poster #67 this morning at #ECVP, where I introduce a simple *continuous* rolling window model that accounts for some classic visual phenomena, like band-pass filtering, visible persistence and postdiction.
