🚨Hi Tweeps, please allow me proudly present the CAP-lab website: cap-lab.net Where CAP stands for Consciousness, Attention, & Perception (and coincidentally refers to my favorite clothing attribute). Please, have a look, and don't forget to follow my PhD students!

Our lab has openings for two(!) fully-funded PhD positions at Utrecht University! You will investigate visual attention, with a focus on individual differences (e.g. ASD, super-recognizers, local/global attention, etc.) Apply before October 6th! uu.nl/en/organisatio…

Highly recommended PhD position! You get to work in an awesome lab, on a cool project, in a great city! Made the same decision almost 3 years ago, very glad I did. Feel free to ask if you've got any questions about the lab/position/etc.

This Friday, Andre Sahakian and Alex Hoogerbrugge will run demonstrations at Betweter Festival festival! Make a 5-minute pitstop at our booth to test your memory (and challenge your friends)! 🧠 betweterfestival.nl

Samen met Andre Sahakian ben ik op Betweter Festival geïnterviewd door Karlijn Meinders voor BNR. Wil je meer horen over werkgeheugen, rode cirkels, en boodschappenlijstjes? Check het interview in je podcastfeed! bnr.nl/podcast/wetens…

I feel extremely privileged to have shared a table with these wonderful people yesterday, during the first CAP-Lab dinner. Looking forward to all the fun & science ahead! cap-lab.net

How can you study each phase of visual working memory using pupillometry? In our new review, we outline how encoding, maintenance and prioritization are reflected in pupil size. Open access: wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wc…

Predictions of eye movements when viewing images should work well for all. Do they? We studied this with gaze data from >2,000 participants collected NEMO Science Museum! Out Communications Psychology t.ly/Y1-Ty tldr: models do well, especially if you are a psychology student More:

We just made gaze data of another 4k participants, openly available (almost 7k now in total!): osf.io/sk4fr Feel free to use the data - you can find all details on data collection and our analyses in our paper Communications Psychology #OpenScience Open Science Community Utrecht

How do encoding and internal prioritization shape the precision of visual working memory representations? Pupil size shows that external and internal attention are deployed as continuous resources, and jointly contribute to VWM precision. Open Access: doi.org/10.5334/joc.336

In a dynamic world, items appear, disappear, and reappear within seconds. In our latest preprint we show: the reappearance of maintained items guides the prioritization of non-reappearing memory items. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

How intense is tactile stimulation processed and felt? Pupils index the intensity of tactile stimulation (same location), and different sensitivities across body parts (same intensity) -one might build a homuncolos model with it. TheRealSPR /psychophys. doi.org/10.1111/psyp.1…

Ja! Mijn nieuwe boek is er! In Beter leren kijken ervaar je hoe je met verschillende filters naar de wereld kunt kijken. Want door je eigen waarneming te sturen, zie je opeens specifieke details of juist grotere patronen die je anders zouden ontgaan. mavenpublishing.nl/nieuws/beter-l…

New paper Journal of Cognition: VWM offloading depends on availability of external information doi.org/10.5334/joc.364 Any disruption to the constant availability of external info is a driver of increased VWM usage, but changes to predictability of availability have little further effect

Come check out my poster "Persistent resampling of external information despite twenty-five repetitions of the same search templates" 📊 Monday morning @ Banyan Breezeway #VSS2024 VSS Meeting

Very excited for this year's #VSS2024 VSS Meeting! Check out our lab's posters and talks throughout the week AttentionLab UU

Excited to present my Poster on Temporal dynamics in VWM #VSS2024. You can find me Monday morning at Banyan Breezeway. (visionsciences.org/presentation/?…) Check the thread below for more amazing contributions form our lab VSS Meeting !

Saying bye to Leeds, will keep the #ICWM24 experience in my (working) memory for quite a bit! ;) Thanks all!

We have a few datasets which didn't warrant standalone publications, but shouldn't go to waste. Here are 3 visual search datasets (4 exps, total N=151) in hopes that others find it useful osf.io/preprints/osf/…. Please do reach out for questions!
