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…

Ook al kijken jij & ik misschien wel precies de zelfde kant op, we ZIEN waarschijnlijk iets heel anders. In deze explainer video van de Universiteit van Nederland leg ik uit hoe onze bewuste waarneming van de wereld, gevormd wordt door onze kennis en verwachtingen. youtu.be/rIjNJHAsHCw?si…

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

Thank you to everyone for the massive interest and feedback! Feel free to reach out to any of the lab members (via DM, email, or in person) about their work – they’ll be happy to send it over or to have a chat 🙂

Where to direct saccades (fast eye movements) is perhaps the most frequent decision. We show: humans systematically minimize the effort that comes with eye movements - evidence for neuroeconomics at the most basic level! VSS Meeting #VSS2024, now eLife - the journal doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

Prof. Jeremy Wolfe will join us for the next Helmholtz Lecture on June 14th: “OMG! How did I miss that? Dealing with ‘Normal Blindness’”. Want to know more about visual search and why we miss things right in front of our eyes? See 👇bit.ly/3VoFNa3

Today is the day! Jeremy Wolfe will give his Helmholtz Lecture at 16.00 in Ruppert Paars. See you there!

Do you care about pupillometry? We need to rewrite its history. Now Trends in Neurosciences A rediscovery of the forgotten early wave of pupillometry research – effort, covert attention, imagery all made visible by 1900 in a fascinating literature.

Conference two out of three ✅ #NRSIG2024 is a wrap. On to the last poster! Attending #GNC2024? Please drop by at poster 5,64 on Thur. 16:15-18:50 to see how memory capacity and memory beliefs influence how we choose to use our eyes and memory 👀 INS AttentionLab UU

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!

New preprint alert! In the first project of my PhD, we use RIFT to show that the visual system is not passively recruiting mechanisms of external attention for prioritization in VWM, but is instead using space as an organizational principle to store and select items in VWM.

Congrats to Luzi on this awesome PsychScience paper, which has already been picked up by news outlets! See cap-lab.net/outreach and Luzi's links below 🥳

New article in AP&P! Quick 4-tweet thread below: 1/ Humans rely heavily on the external world as an "external memory store". This has been shown time and time again. Here we wondered if this changes when items have time to consolidate in memory. link.springer.com/article/10.375…
