Noisy memories should drift toward the past. We show the opposite: when the attentional blink degraded a target, its #WorkingMemory representation is pushed further away from the one before. Less attention boosts repulsive serial dependence. #visionscience doi.org/10.1186/s129...

Some months ago, I wrote a skeptical reply to a commentary on bots in online studies in PNAS, arguing that no evidence yet exists for such bots. Together with the authors of the original commentary, we now show that bots can pass (almost?) all online cognitive studies with human-like performance 1/n

How does prior knowledge affect the way we experience the world? In our new paper, we show that prior knowledge can both increase and decrease how often experience is segmented into events. link.springer.com/article/10.3...

Ignorance is bliss: Exploring the dual role of knowledge in event segmentation - Psychonomic Bulletin & Review
Episodic memories are segmented. This study explores the dual role of prior knowledge in event segmentation, hypothesizing that knowledge leads to coarser segmentation when experiences align with it, ...

A new addition to my “Visual Phenomena and Optical Illusions” collection: “Mainz-Linez”. Here's the live demonstration and explanation of the somewhat mysterious title: michaelbach.de/ot/mot-Mainz.... Enjoy!
A static image of the Mainz-Linez illusion: 4 vertical wiggly lines, in the middle of each a red disk. A small black cross in the center.

Check our new Psych Science paper w/Daniil Azarov & Daniil Grigorev. Although an ability to recognize a familiar object among new ones clearly depends on how many and which objects there are, we show a remarkable stability of underlying "representational spaces" journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

📢New preprint w/ ayaecanb.bsky.social! Noisy visual representations strengthen repulsive serial biases but inducer uncertainty doesn’t. Working memory adapts to reduce error in ways that exceed simple Bayesian explanations. #workingmemory #VisualWorkingMemory 🔗 www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-7...

Target Fidelity, but not Inducer Fidelity, Modulates Repulsive Serial Dependence of Visual Working Memory Representations
Visual representations are open to systematic functional biases. In visual working memory, representations of serially presented stimuli can either attract or repel each other. Such serial dependence ...

Better version of the meme.
The joke is, Nature is the one killing null results, but blaming scientists.

New paper out with @ahugokce.bsky.social and @ayaecanb.bsky.social! 👁️ We show that attentional cues can override automatic outlier detection in visual ensembles. Even salient "odd ones out" aren't immune to where attention is directed. rdcu.be/eqVsS #workingmemory #visualworkingmemory

Science has no passport but I do. Unfortunately, mine needs visas too. And guess what we don't have in Turkey? Visa appointments.

I literally dreamed up a new experimental paradigm last night. Stay tuned to see if I make a breakthrough or just lose my mind.

Does one preprint a review? I did anyway: If you're interested in temporal aspects of perception, attention, and working memory, check out my review on how temporal integration plays an adaptive role in all of those. 👉https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/h5cvx

Working memory people, is there a paper with a good dissection of sources on noise in VWM? Like, how much the noise of the initial percept adds, how much it is worsened during the delay period, how much is added during the report... #workingmemory #vwm #cogpsy
