🌈 New preprint! With Sage, Melissa, and Kia (@dynacog-lab.bsky.social, @scenegrammarlab.bsky.social, @kianobre.bsky.social), we explore how attention is divided across external perception and internal working memory - revealing a dynamic trade-off between these two domains. doi.org/10.64898/202...

Interested in timing, motor control, attention, working memory and/or stuttering? ⌛️ Curious to see how we try to bring these together in one study? 🧐 Check out our most recent, hot-off-the-press manuscript, born out of fun cross-field and cross-lab discussions ✨ Very excited to see this out ☀️🍾

Attention operates in a changing world, so attentional priority maps must likewise be dynamic. Our (Sage Boettcher, @visualattentionlab.bsky.social, @gwenlliams.bsky.social, Nir Shalev) TiCS paper argues this and propose key questions for future work hoping to account for dynamic priority maps.

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

New paper (first from my PhD!) out in Visual Cognition ✨ @tandfresearch.bsky.social With the wonderful Sage Boettcher @dynacog-lab.bsky.social & Kia Nobre @brognition.bsky.social We ask how temporal expectations can help us find targets in dynamic, cluttered environments when location is unknown.

Now out in #ScienceAdvances: @baiweiliu.bsky.social and I ask how internal (goal) and external (sensory) selection are coordinated during visual search. The key insight: internal and external selection are not inherently serial, but may develop in parallel in the human brain: doi.org/10.1126/scia...

Concurrent selection of internal goals and external sensations during visual search
Internal and external selection processes can codevelop in time to yield efficient search behavior.

#Attention modulates sensory contents of #WorkingMemory, but what about motor contents? @irenetxeberria.bsky.social &co show that brain representations of both sensory & motor contents of WM are modulated by attentional shifts, & are temporally uncoupled @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/46bUrY8
Time–frequency activity difference in informative vs. noninformative (neutral) trials in sensors contralateral to the first- and second-prioritized locations and actions. Left: Difference in time–frequency activity in occipital (PO7/PO8) channels contralateral to the first-prioritized location (top) and second-prioritized location (bottom) in informative trials vs. noninformative trials (expressed as a percentage). Right: Difference in time–frequency activity in central (C3/C4) channels contralateral to the first-prioritized action (top) and second-prioritized action (bottom) in informative trials vs. noninformative trials (expressed as a percentage).

Looking for a summer read? Look no further! ☀️ Our most recent paper with Sage Boettcher, @freekvanede.bsky.social and @kianobre.bsky.social is out @plosbiology.org! 🪩 Sensory and motor working-memory contents are both prioritised dynamically, but their prioritisation can be temporally decoupled 🧠

Excited to present my poster today at #VSS2025! Come by Banyan Breezeway this afternoon to explore how our brains learn patterns in time and space to guide attention. Big thanks to Irene (@irenetxeberria.bsky.social), William (@william-nm.bsky.social), Pranava, and Kia for making this work possible!
