Distributed and drifting signals for working memory load in human cortex
Increasing working memory (WM) load incurs behavioral costs, and whether the neural constraints on behavioral costs are localized (i.e., emanating from the intraparietal sulcus) or distributed across ...

How does the visual system track moving objects while remembering the color of those objects? My latest research article (co-first with Piotr @styrkowiec.bsky.social) exploring this question using EEG is out in JoCN! @jocn.bsky.social #workingmemory #cognition #cogneuro #cogsci #neuro
Item-based Parsing of Dynamic Scenes in a Combined Attentional Tracking and Working Memory Task
Abstract. Human visual processing is limited—we can only track a few moving objects at a time and store a few items in visual working memory (WM). A shared mechanism that may underlie these performanc...

🚨NEW paper alert at JEP:G: when we're making recognition memory decisions, are we aware of our recognition errors? The answer is YES (with two error detection systems for different purposes): (w/ Geoff Woodman & @keisukefukuda.bsky.social ) psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-... 1/3

New paper out at Journal of Memory and Language! We knew that individual differences in working memory predict source memory, but did it predict simple item recognition memory (that relied on less attention resources than source memory)? Our answer is: YES! (with @edvogel.bsky.social ) 1/5

Tonight 5-7 PM I’ll be presenting my poster at CNS @cogneuronews.bsky.social C46: “Repetition learning produces stronger and faster recollection during recognition” Don’t miss it if you’re interested in EEG and visual long-term memory! #CNS2025

Remember what your partner said during a heated argument? Or the rush of getting your first job offer? Why do these emotionally arousing moments stick? Across 3 studies, and 3 arousal measures, we found that emotional arousal enhances memory encoding by promoting functional integration in the 🧠 1/🧵

Attention here! We found ind. diff. & fMRI evidence that sustained attention is more closely related to long term memory than to attentional control. With the best team @monicarosenb.bsky.social @edvogel.bsky.social @annacorriveau.bsky.social @jinke.bsky.social
