Postdoc at the University of Chicago exploring how everyday symbols (!@#%&) are represented in memory. Spoiler alert: $ ≠ dollar.
I am very happy to share this new preprint on attentional lapses with Ed Vogel and @monicarosenb! We show that lapses occur when a distracting goal becomes more competitive than the current goal, with competition driven by their perceived benefits. osf.io/preprints/psya…
"Drawings reveal changes in object memory, but not spatial memory, across time" 📢New paper from: Emma Megla, Samuel Rosenthal, & Wilma Bainbridge sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
You will probably remember this post. How do I know? Come find out at our #SfN24 talk on Wednesday morning, as part of the NANO54 session! I will be outlining which visual features of symbols are highly memorable, and how they can be accentuated using AI image generators.
@BradyRTRoberts and @WilmaBainbridge from @UChicago just revealed a set of brand new symbols that are designed to be highly memorable or highly forgettable! They found which visual features influence memory for conventional symbols (e.g., !@#$), then applied them using DALL-E 3.
Interested in natural visual perception? Add NANO54 (tinyurl.com/yn2p4d6p) to your SfN 2024 meeting itinerary! We have a spectacular lineup of speakers covering visual systems in silico, in animals, and in humans. @SfN #sfn2024
A huge congratulations to Dr. Colin MacLeod on being named Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the on June 13th convocation. He is recognized as one of the foremost experts in the world on the subject of attention, learning, and memory. Congratulations again to him!
Can you better recall the visual details of scenes after a night of sleep? The answer might surprise you - come visit my undergrad mentee Sam Rosenthal’s poster (358 in Banyan Breezeway) at #VSS2024 now until 6:45pm to find out!
I’ll be giving my first #VSS2024 talk on Wed 5/22 at 9:45 AM in Talk Toom 2 (Talk Session - Visual Memory) on the “semantic and visual features driving the memorability of co-speech gestures.” Come and share your thoughts! See abstract: visionsciences.org/talk-session/
My first first-author paper is out now-- check out the thread and paper! Thanks to the whole team, especially Fernando for all his mentorship on this project 🧠
It’s finally out!!! Happy to share our publication in J Neuro of this fun project conducted with a great team Cambria Revsine @CRevsine, Javier Gonzalez-Castillo @javiergcas, @elimerriam and Peter Bandettini @fMRI_today (1/3)
Sad to hear of Endel Tulving’s passing at the age of 96. Grateful for his everlasting inspiration and generosity.
