I am looking for a postdoctoral researcher to join my lab at Sabancı University in Istanbul for a 2-year TÜBİTAK-funded position, with possible extension.
Interested candidates can email me with a CV and a brief note about their research interests.
More details on gunselilab.com soon.
Why is the universities crisis being ignored?

I've been asked to publish this statement from some of the families affected by NHS England's decision in Brighton.
🚨 Excited to share our new paper in JEP: General w/ Tamar Alkalai & Dominique Lamy! 🚨
We examined sequential effects from the visual search, task-switching, and action-control literatures within a single paradigm.
We report two key findings: 🧵 1/4
I have signed the fatal motion on the code of practice.
The answers to the questions I raised below - and to those from other committee members - fell far short of anything workable, just or fair.
3. Some models suggest that attentional selection is neural entrainment.
My favored models suggest that attentional selection is a transient modulation that, by amplifying a specific signal, resolves perceptual competition.
Is there another way to look at this?
2. According to many others, attentional selection *is* a process. Though most won't commit to what exactly this process is.
So second: if it's a process, what is it?
It seems to me that the shared common denominator of (few) theories that DO commit to a definition is perceptual/neural modulation
1.Here's where I'm going with this
It seems to me that there are several ways of viewing attentional selection
First: is it a cognitive process?
According to some, it's not. It's merely a result of processes. Therefore, science cannot study attentional selection, only its antecedents/consequences.
Question to any attention researchers following this account:
Do you know of ANY theory/model of visual attention that defines or explains what is "attentional selection"?
Anything that comes to mind will do.
Extra points if they're detailing a mechanism that underlies it.
Is there anything more soul-crushing for an academic than having to mark student papers you suspect might be AI-generated?
There's something surreal about doing the very human and mentally intense work of giving feedback on the output of LLMs.
