Tomorrow morning at 11am I'll be presenting my talk at #VSS2026 titled "Semantic understanding, not just coherent object structure, strengthens visual working memory"! (Talk Room 2) See you there!

Hello to everyone coming to @vssmtg.bsky.social: Come see what our lab and collaborators have been working on this past year. - Lots of interesting new work on visual working memory, feature- and object-based attention, cross-modal attention, ensemble perception!

Saturday, May 16, 5:45pm in Talk Room 2, I'll be talking about a rich epistemic demonstration of how semantically-rich objects can scaffold our memory of meaningless surface features. w/ @yonghoonchung.bsky.social & @violastoermer.bsky.social

A multi-lab replication effort (@eegmanylabs.bsky.social) of the contralateral delay activity (CDA) has just been published online! In brief, the set-size effect appears to be robustly observed, but CDA correlation with VWM capacity is not reliably strong. doi.org/10.1016/j.co...

VSS (@vssmtg.bsky.social) is coming up! Do you have an idea for a vision experiment but want to check you haven't missed anything? Looking for collaborators or relevant resources? Wanting to chat about a theory or model? Consider the pre-data poster session! www.visionsciences.org/pre-data-col...

Real-world Objects Scaffold Visual Working Memory for Features: Increased Neural Engagement When Colors Are Remembered as Part of Meaningful Objects
Abstract. Visual working memory is a core cognitive function that allows active storage of task-relevant visual information. Contrary to the common assumption that the capacity of this system is fixed...

New preprint with @SamJung @timbrady.bsky.social and @violastoermer.bsky.social: osf.io/preprints/ps.... Here we uncover what might be driving the “meaningfulness benefit” in visual working memory. Studies show that real objects are remembered better in VWM tasks than abstract stimuli. But why? 1/

🚨New paper altert🚨 As a synthesis of my PhD research, we revisited the prevailing assumption about the mechanisms underlying repetition learning, and re-evaluated these assumption in light of recent findings. Now out in Perspectives on Psychological Science: doi.org/10.1177/1745...

Make it your New Year resolution to add a #workingmemory dataset to OpenWMData so that we can curate our field's precious data, start testing theories and benchmarking models across datasets, conduct secondary analyses and meta-research using the data itself, and help me feel like I'm, like, alive.

Has anyone attended any pre-data-collection poster sessions (i.e., poster sessions where people present their plans for experiments before data collection in order to get feedback when it's most useful) at conferences other than VSS?

The deadline is coming up to present at the pre-data poster session at #VSS. It's the perfect venue for those who want to have a conversation about an idea or a topic (especially early-career researchers who may not have something in-the-works!). #visionscience www.visionsciences.org/2025-pre-dat...
