Calling psychology post-docs and PhD students! Are you interested in writing a Journal Club piece for Nature Reviews Psychology ? You'll write about a paper that is special to you or your field, with guidance from one of our editors. Learn how here: nature.com/articles/s4415…

So excited to share our preprint! We constructed a biologically-inspired model that accounts for a range of consistent and inconsistent findings in the fMRI MVPA face-processing literature. Check it out!

We are seeking two individuals to join the team: a full-time Postdoctoral Researcher (info: bakkourlab.uchicago.edu/join-us/postdoc) and a full-time Research Assistant/Lab Manager (info: bakkourlab.uchicago.edu/join-us/labman…). Come join an amazing community of scholars at UChicago Psychology & University of Chicago Neuroscience Institute!

Haxby Lab is searching for a full-time Research Project Manager for a new grant-funded project. This position could be an excellent opportunity for college graduates who are considering a career in computational cognitive neuroscience. Email [email protected] for information.

Excited to announce that my lab has gotten an #R01 with the National Eye Institute to look at the relationship of perception & memory in the mind & brain through memory drawings & seeing what these patterns look like in individuals with aphantasia. Eager to see what we discover!

Excited to announce that my first first-authored paper is out now in Science Advances doi.org/10.1126/sciadv… We collected 1 million+ memory ratings to show that semantic properties best explain what we remember. Major thanks to Wilma Bainbridge Martin Hebart Chris Baker

📢Postdoc alert!!📢 I'm looking for a postdoc to begin this summer or fall Dartmouth Psychological and Brain Sciences . My lab studies how people talk about race in important relationships like friendships and mentor-mentee relationships. Come join me! Info below. Email application to [email protected]

We are excited to announce that we will be having our 4th annual Methods in Neuroscience at Dartmouth Summer School from 8/6-8/16/23 exploring how minds interact. Application deadline is 5/31/2023. mindsummerschool.org

I'm excited to see everyone soon at #VSS2023! Our lab has a lot of exciting research to show to you all. I'll be there only Mon & Tues so get in touch if you want to meet up.

En route to #VSS2023! Our lab has a bunch of fun talks and posters to share, from AJ Haskins Anna Mynick Tommy Botch Deepa Prasad @neuro_steel.

Today morning at #VSS2023 I'll be presenting my poster titled "Meaningful objects are privileged in working memory: Better incidental memory of recognizable relative to unrecognizable objects". Come chat with me about how meaningful features are represented in incidental memory!

New paper with Tim Brady and viola störmer now out in PsychScience! “No fixed limit for storing simple visual features: realistic objects provide an efficient scaffold for holding features in mind” journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

Finally catching up on some work from our lab that’s come out over these past few months: two papers on feature-based attention, one on visual stabilization using EEG, and a cool new finding on visual working memory:

New commentary paper with Sharif now out in JNeuro “Objects from Motion: Moving beyond Static Images with Object Kinematograms” jneurosci.org/content/43/22/…

For those of you in the Chicago area, come by the Chicago Science Fest on June 17 to learn about what makes images memorable!!

How does what we see interact with what we remember? Delving into this topic, I wrote a chapter with Wilma Bainbridge covering memorability, caricatures, and more! Out soon in Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Neuroscience, but here's an early preprint! psyarxiv.com/m4uyt

I'll be presenting my work about how different encoding formats can influence visual working memory tomorrow at #WMS2023! My talk will be in the very first session at 9:45am (CDT). Excited for the symposium!

Behind the Eyes: Insights into Cognition from Naturalistic Gaze Behavior in VR By Caroline Robertson AJ Haskins Deepa Prasad Tommy Botch Brenda Garcia Abtract + Outline: 2023.ccneuro.org/kt2.php

Wired just did an awesome piece featuring @trentdavis01 and my recent paper on predicting the memorability of artwork! Also has interviews with fellow memorability researchers like Zoya Bylinskii and Coen Needell!

Want to do eye-tracking studies in VR yourself? Check out our open source toolbox, vrGazeCore, and the beautiful corresponding tutorial led by Deepa Prasad and Tommy Botch!
