Good morning #VSS2024 VSS Meeting, come and check out three posters from our lab during today's afternoon session. By the brilliant PhD students Kabir Kabir Arora and Yichen Yichen Yuan, and by me (see below). See you there!

Hello again #VSS2024 VSS Meeting! Looking forward to the visual memory talk session today, including Luzi's talk at 11:15. Hope to see you all there. If there, please do congratulate her on her paper that just got accepted in Psych Science 🎉 ...more on that later!

Rise and shine VSS Meeting #VSS2024 ☀️ This morning Andre Sahakian will present our work on the temporal dynamics of visual working memory, investigating the influence of encoding time on decay. NB: The pattern of findings is well explained by his MoM (Mountains of Memory model).

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.

🚨 New preprint out 🚨 A massive collaborative project led by Maor Schreiber,  François Stockart, Liad Mudrik, & Nathan Faivre, which set the goal to establish a consensus of best practices (and outstanding issues) for research on unconscious processing. Thankful to be a part of it!

🚨New paper🚨 In 2017 the major Dutch science funder (NWO Nieuws) initiated a grant scheme for replicating cornerstone studies. Lead by the Replication in Action team, we (laureates from different disciplines) share our recommendations & experiences conducting these replications.

📢(1) New preprint: In our latest Project AWeSome study, conducted together with Ine Beyens, Loes Janssen, and Patti Valkenburg, we analyzed 44,211 daily diaries from 479 adolescents, tracking their person-specific social media use and mental health across 100 days.

New preprint out! The number of things (or: numerosity) you perceive, is affected by the number of things you were previously exposed to. In this fMRI study led by Liangyou we show that such numerosity adaptation may originate in early visual areas that respond to image contrast.

New paper out in Psych Science, spearheaded by the awesome Luzi Xu, titled "statistical learning facilitates access to awareness". See the cited tweet below for a short thread, and read the linked press release for a laymen's summary (in Dutch): uu.nl/nieuws/wat-je-…

I couldn't envision a better place to do a PhD! I had a great time here, and still am. They're looking for a PhD candidate who will use EEG & behavioral methods to study visual attention. Feel free to reach out & ask me about the environment/team (I'm not involved in the project)

Dear all, I am looking for a postdoc for an ERC-funded project on meditation and the predictive brain in my lab. More details can be found here for now: heleenslagter.com/positions Feel free to reach out with any questions! Please help spread the word!
