See this new review paper on the precarity of the academic career: by the team of @Cosmin_8 .We need to break out of this loop of fixed-term contracts and "careerist strategies" that exploit our work and reduce our well-being.

Do you work/study while listening to music? .Do you think that music helps? . Our new paper in the Journal of Cognition shows that music with lyrics interferes with cognitive tasks. The effects are small (d = ca. 0.3), but credible.

Getting ready to visit Berlin and give a talk on bccn! I will discuss ways in which we can leverage our knowledge (language, prior experience) to bypass the limited capacity of visual working memory, and build more robust and high-fidelity representations.

In this amazing work, led by @TimothyRicker6 and @EvieVergauwe we probed the relation between the storage of continuous and categorical info in working memory representations. Do we form a single representation that combines these two sources of info or store them separately?.

New preprint with @A_SSouza and @EvieVergauwe. We use computational modeling in of 9 delayed estimation experiments to show that the structure of representations in working memory is determined exclusively (seemingly anyway) by feature identity.
