Scientific Reports - Cognitive offloading weakens the neural representation of to-be-remembered information

We show that valid spatial cues directing internal attention during long-term memory retrieval boost recall, while invalid cues incur costs. Our work offers a flexible experimental framework to study ...

When should researchers use linear mixed-effects models (LMMs) versus repeated-measures analysis of variance (RM-ANOVA) for analysing repeated-measures data? I first outline the conceptual and statist...

Searching for objects of interest is an essential and pervasive activity in adaptive cognition. In everyday situations, we often search for relevant content in our surroundings and in mind at the same...

Memory and perception both require selecting behaviorally relevant information. Here, the authors show that more distinct hippocampal memories are linked to precise anticipatory signals in visual cort...

I investigate how our eyes and minds work together to navigate the visual demands of everyday life. Trained in cognitive psychology, I use…

Abstract. Event segmentation is the cognitive process of dividing continuous experiences into meaningful units. Although working memory (WM) is believed to play an instrumental role in event segmentat...

Are you interested in understanding how attention shapes what we see? Would you like to combine behavioural experiments, psychophysics, and eye tracking to uncover how the brain selects and prioritise...

Abstract. The goal-dependent use of temporal expectations enhances visual performance, even without concurrent spatial or motor predictions, yet the underlying neural mechanisms remain unclear. To ide...

Attentional priority is typically conceived as a static spatial map, despite attention operating in a continuously changing world. We propose a dynami…

Editors invite manuscripts that highlight recent developments in the mechanisms, functions and experience of visual mental imagery. Topics include, but are ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - an authoritative source of high-impact, original research that broadly spans...

Abstract. Visual imagery and external perception rely on similar representations. However, whether the same processes underpin the subjective appraisal of
