Pupil Dilation Linked to Working Memory Capacity

Researchers identified a link between pupil dilation and working memory performance.

In their study, they report that individuals whose pupils dilated more during cognitive tasks demonstrated superior working memory abilities.

Time to make it Twitter official, I’m excited to announce that starting this fall I’ll be pursuing my Ph.D. in Neuroscience at the University of North Carolina!

New paper out in Synthese! It argues that current accounts of mechanistic explanation fail to capture all the ways that the anatomical organisation of the working parts in neural systems can be relevant for explaining behaviour in neuroscience. (1/4)
