Exogenously driven neural reactivation of spatially matching visual working-memory contents. doi.org/10.64898/2026.…

Putting the 'Spotlight' on a recent article by @FannyCazettes et al., by discussing how “brain leakage” can expose cognitive computations in bodily movements – in turn opening new ways to track cognition. Now out in @TrendsCognSci: authors.elsevier.com/a/1mDCZ4sIRvW-…

Now out in @ScienceAdvances: @BaiweiLiu and I ask how internal (goal) and external (sensory) selection are coordinated during visual search. The insight: internal and external selection are not necessarily serial, but may develop in parallel in the brain: doi.org/10.1126/sciadv…

The human-neuroscience N2pc marker of covert and internal attention co-occurs with spatial biases in microsaccades, 200-300 ms after prompted to shift attention. How are these empirical phenomena related? Check it out in the latest work led by @BaiweiLiu: doi.org/10.1371/journa…

@DengPan18 cool！

🚨We believe this is a major step forward in how we study hippocampus function in healthy humans. Using novel behavioral tasks, fMRI, RL & RNN modeling, and transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS), we demonstrate the causal role of hippocampus in relational structure learning.

Excited to share our paper w/ @Chris_I_Baker in @NatureComms linking active vision & memory! We provide evidence that gaze reinstatement & neural reactivation are deeply related phenomena that jointly reflect the experiences constructed during recall. doi.org/10.1038/s41467… 1/9

Writing is thinking

Wanna know about sensory & memory representations in visual cortex? After integrating the wisdom from several reviewers (and clever comments from 2 more reviewers at #elife still to go), this paper is now officially out: elifesciences.org/reviewed-prepr… (tweeprint below)

Interested in how the internal and external processes work together to support efficient behaviour?! Check our latest findings where we tracks the internal and external selections simultaneously in a visual search task that relies on both processes doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

📢 Check out our (Larissa Behnke, @freekvanede, Kia Nobre, Sage Boettcher) latest preprint on the neural dynamics of returning to an internal focus in working memory after engaging with an interrupting external-attention task. 🧵 below (1|5) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Temporal structure of experience etched on firing of human hippocampal-entorhinal neurons to serve memory & prediction. See our study @Nature at @UCLANsgy, great work by lead author @PTacikowski with @GuldamlaKalendr & @DavideCili support @NIH_NINDS. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Reviewers take note: 57% of people rejected their own argument when they thought it was someone else's. So take it easy with the criticism.

📢 Check out our (Sage Boettcher, @Chetan_Gohil, @freekvanede, @KiaNobre) latest publication in @PNASNews on the neural dynamics associated with shifting attention within vs. between external and internal attention. (🧵 below) (1|6) pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Happy to see this paper finally out now in PBR! @Psychonomic_Soc In it we ask whether statistical learning can occur for unattended items: it is already well known that learning can alter attention, but does attention also alter learning? rdcu.be/dY7L3

Putting the 'spotlight' on high-level visual cognition deep down in the brain @TrendsCognSci: authors.elsevier.com/a/1k1P04sIRvTB… A pleasure to highlight this exciting study by @b_peysakhovich et al., that can be found here: doi.org/10.1038/s41593…

🚨Two new preprints from the lab! (part 1) Preprint 1: doi.org/10.1101/2024.1… In this work led by @wangsisi2017, we uncover an underexplored component of visual search by studying how people “look into their memory” to verify (confirm/dismiss) potential visual targets.

🚨Two new preprints from the lab! (part 2) Preprint 2: doi.org/10.1101/2024.1… In this work led by @BaiweiLiu, we studied the relation between microsaccades and the N2pc EEG marker of spatial attention, showing how microsaccades strongly modulate but do not cause the N2pc.
