Thrilled to have this preprint out, from the amazing Zekun Sun!
"Motor abstraction training generalizes to the refinement of specific movement patterns"
In brief, across 8 experiments we found evidence of a causal role for abstract representations in motor learning

New preprint! Imagine you’re locked in a lab, doing a working memory task, in which two items are presented and successively tested each trial. If you knew in advance which item would be tested first, would you encode it differently, with priority? 1/3

Happy to share that I will give a colloquium talk at the Heymans Institute for Psychological Research, University of Groningen, on June 2
I will present my work on how experiences are segmented into meaningful events, and how contextual stability and working memory contribute to this process ✨
#VSS2026 attendees make sure to stop by my poster today in the afternoon poster session in the Banyan Breezeway. I will present a series of experiments, in which we investigated attentional selection in long-term memory.
🎉New paper out today in Nature Reviews Psychology🎉 with @mjdahl.bsky.social, @mariamaly.bsky.social, and @thiasmittner.bsky.social.
We've been working on a unified framework for attentional states and the dynamics of transitions between them.

Excited to share our new review in Trends in Neuroscience with Gouki Okazawa @gouki-okazawa.bsky.social :
"The 'neat' and 'messy' in task-dependent neural geometry and computation"
where we reviewed what we know about the 'task-manager' in the brain.

Our latest paper is no longer behind a paywall! We show that visual bias in working memory toward interference can be moderated by motor control 🧠. Check it out!

📍2003 marked the year in which the retro-cue paradigm was born. Fast forward, 23 years later, we adapt this logic to long-term memory and ask how does attention shape retrieval from long-term memory? 🤔
