Phase-Locking Saccades to Posterior Alpha Oscillations Improves the Neural Representation of Visual Objects during Memory Formation
Visual memory formation relies on the intake and neural processing of discrete samples provided by gaze fixations and saccades. Past research has highlighted a functional relationship between the timi...

During natural reading with eye movements, the left posterior fusiform cortex reflects both fixated and upcoming words in parallel—and distinguishes whether an upcoming word is skipped or fixated. A new preprint from Graham Flick @grahamflick.bsky.social!

How is the memorability of an image influenced by how it makes us feel? @hartwakeland.bsky.social created an image set (VAMOS) of over 900 scene images, along with their valence, arousal, and memorability ratings. They then showed that *moderately* negative images are more memorable! (1/2)
Sample images sorted by evoked valence/arousal and memorability. Scene images were selected to span a wide range of average valence and arousal scores. The figure above shows examples of memorable and forgettable images from across the spectra of valence and arousal. Examples include a tornado (negative and memorable), pollution from a factory (negative and forgettable), a field of sunflowers (positive and memorable), a frosty field in early morning (positive and forgettable), a car crash (high arousal and memorable), and a mountain scene (high arousal and forgettable).

Nice study showing that memories for new speech + hand movement associations are linked to the specific words they were learned with, suggesting that "...word or gesture production might reactivate an entire co-speech gesture memory engram"
