Landed back in the UK. Definitely learnt a lot working with Steven Pan’s lab on our pretesting project. Also, managed to eat exceptionally well on a budget in the Hawker Centres too!

Spent my evening googling best ramen in Singapore, I found this guy who goes round hundreds in Sg and Japan - he uses a machine to measure salt levels and “brix” which is a measure of the amount of dissolved solids in a liquid to test for quality.

Memory-sky: I'm going to be teaching a new (open!) grad course in the spring, where we read about and implement some memory models (and ideally for them to some small datasets). Looking for suggestions to include! I could go "classic" (Hopfield nets, SAM, TCM, etc.), or "modern" with newer stuff 🤔

Having a great time on a EPS study visit to the National University of Singapore - this cat is permanently chilling outside the Psychology building - many signs saying not to feed him as he’s getting too chonky

Really looking forward to attending Psychonomics for the first time next week! I’d love to talk to anyone interested the #spacing, #testing or #pretesting effects or more generally #memory and #learning at my poster! #Psynom24 @psychonomicsociety.bsky.social
