With deep humility and admiration, we wrote this obituary for Dr. Lopera, a sensitive, compassionate neurologist and human being, and one of the foremost research leaders worldwide. A role model for many of us. Long life to his legacy. @AgustinIbanez @RandallBateman3 @NatureAging

After 20 years investigating Binding in ageing & dementia, I had the privilege to join a Conference and colleagues dedicated to investigating this construct, from the lab to the real world. An encouraging experience. Thanks Moreno Coco and Christine Bastin for your amazing talk!

What a treat to have Posner sharing how he thinks attention and binding interact in his keynote at the 9th International Conference on Spatial Cognition, this year focused on Segmentation and Binding in Spatial Cognition.
