These findings show that statistical learning is sometimes grounded in the statistics of agent-environment interactions, not in the statistics of the world per se. They align with theories linking attention to action. Our study also highlights the importance of dynamic experimental setups. [5/5]

Across three experiments, we found that implicit distractor-location learning is viewer dependent when embedded in active behavior. That is, spatial inhibition cannot be abstracted from the agent moving through a 3D world and how they can suppress sampling the world from their perspective. [4/5]

We showed this in 3 experiments with novel setup: participants performed an additional singleton task projected on a table top, while switching standing position. This way, we could manipulate whether a high probably distractor location was fixed in the world or with respect to their viewpoint.[3/5]

It is typically thought that distractor inhibition entails inhibiting the distractor location. Yet, here we show that distractor inhibition takes into account how one can suppress attentional sampling in space from their viewpoint to prevent distraction. It operates egocentrically. [2/5]

Looking forward to #ICON2025! Apart from posters (updates coming), we’ll be at the “Sudden Learning Across Systems” symposium talking about factors behind solving visual disambiguation 👀, memory traces of one-shot perceptual learning and more. Excited to share and get inspired by your work! 🚀

Can we enhance interoception by controlling the heart? Thrilled to share our new study, led by @ashleytyrer.bsky.social , where we use computational modeling to show that blockading peripheral noradrenaline uniquely alters awareness of heart rate & breathing! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵👇

A graphical abstract titled "Can Beta-Blockers Manipulate Interoception? A Placebo-Controlled Study." The image illustrates how bisoprolol and propranolol affect interoception. On the left, a green figure represents bisoprolol, showing a zoomed-in synapse where it selectively blocks β1 receptors. On the right, a purple figure represents propranolol, blocking both β1 and β2 receptors, affecting both brain and body. A psychophysics graph models interoceptive responses, showing response intensity over trials. Below, line plots compare placebo, propranolol, and bisoprolol effects on interoception—cardioception (threshold) and respiroception (slope)—indicating drug effects on bodily awareness.
