📢 New paper out in JoN! With Larissa, @freekvanede, @KiaNobre, and Sage, we ask which and when WM contents get reselected after an interrupting external-attention task. (1|9) doi.org/10.1523/JNEURO…

📢 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…

📢 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…

Check out our lab's latest work! @lzatkinson, Jude, @KiaNobre, and @nzokaei show impaired long-term memory performance in individuals recovering from mild acute COVID-19 infection.

Over the moon to have passed my viva 🎓 A huge thanks to @BStaresina & Jenny Coull for making it fun in addition to enriching 🧠 All my love and gratitude to @KiaNobre, @kateewatkins, @SageBoettcher & all @brognition members their generosity & companionship these past years 🍀

Last day of my PhD ✅ I would like to thank my assessors @GaiaScerif and @juliedgolomb, my supervisors @SageBoettcher, @freekvanede, and @KiaNobre, the @brognition lab, and my friends and family for making this day (and the last 3.5 years) such an amazing and memorable experience

Towered by freshly minted Dr Daniela Gresch and Dr Oliver Kohl. I learned a lot from these two. Feeling proud. ⁦@brognition⁩

⁦@brognition⁩! Oh yes, I do miss this crowd. Happy nostalgic hop back to Oxford. Thanks all!

Tracking behaviour in a virtual reality setting allows segmenting and tracking encoding, visual search, working memory usage, and decision-making separately and reveals distinct effects of distraction on these subprocesses. @brognition nature.com/articles/s4427…

Check out our manuscript on the flexible use of temporal expectations in the absence of spatial or motor certainty: journalofcognition.org/articles/10.53… @JCgntn 🤸⌛️ big team effort, and even bigger fun, with @KiaNobre and @SageBoettcher

Deciding how to use your working memory? Now out in @SfNJournals: our EEG findings with @KiaNobre suggesting a decision process underlying internal sampling from visual working memory jneurosci.org/content/44/19/…

📢 Check out our (@SageBoettcher, @freekvanede, @KiaNobre) latest preprint: In a MEG study, we unveiled distinct patterns of brain activity accompanying shifts between perception and working-memory contents as opposed to shifts within domains. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Interested in spectral analysis? This one is for you! Check out our new paper! Great to have collaborated with @AndrewJohnQuinn and colleagues at @OHBA_Oxford🧠

Exciting news from our lab! Our latest research delves into a fundamental building block of cognition. We explored the intricate dynamics of attention as it transitions between perception and working memory. Check out the paper for some cool behavioural and eye-tracking results.

Huge congrats to @KiaNobre on receiving the #CNS2024 Distinguished Contributions Career Award! Get a sneak peek of her award lecture in this interview where Kia shares insights into her early inspirations in cognitive neuroscience and her latest work. cogneurosociety.org/bringing-new-f…

Thanks to my wonderful friends and colleagues for a moving celebration and farewell. I’ll be missing you. See you Stateside! ⁦@UniofOxford⁩ ⁦@OxExpPsy⁩ ⁦@OxPsychiatry⁩ ⁦@OHBA_Oxford⁩ ⁦@brognition⁩

Before shifting your attention to club vision go see @DanielaGresch who will be talking about shifts between internal and external attention in talk room 1 at 6:15! #VSS2023 @VSSMtg

⁦@brognition⁩ et al at VSS. The kids are alright.

Check out how Dejan and @levi_kumle segment complex continuous behavior into hallmark cognitive subcomponents to show that incidentally acquired memories guide encoding, visual search, and working memory usage. Poster 36.365 in Banyan Breezeway @VSSMtg tomorrow afternoon! #VR
