🚨Very excited to share this new work showcasing the independence of face perception & face memory, at least under most circumstances. Check out Michal's thread for details, including a very intriguing interaction that emerged when we taxed working memory with a face distractor.
New preprint! 🧵 Are perception and memory fundamentally independent processes, or are they overlapping and impossible to disentangle? We turn to the well studied face system to ask this question, using a new task and 4 datasets with 800+ participants. https://t.co/yIvZWIVL1k

I had a really fun time discussing the neuroscience of memory and attention on the "Age Less / Live More Podcast" with Lucas Rockwood. Our conversation went in some unexpected directions. If you're interested in giving it a listen, I've put a link to episode in the comments. 🧠🎧

Really excited about our new preprint, where we showcase how even relatively subtle event boundaries disrupt spontaneous mind-wandering, and by virtue of this attentional capture, improve people's ability to later recollect the temporal order of events. 👀🧵
I’m thrilled to share my very first first-author paper! It’s been a journey, and I’m excited to walk you through our key findings on how our wandering minds impact memory. Ever find yourself zoning out in the middle of a task? That’s mind-wandering, and while it might seem

If I tagged everyone who contributed a chapter, I’d basically tag my entire following list, so I’ll refrain. But if you grab a copy, be sure not to miss Chapter 81, by yours truly and my partner in neurolaw crime @ProfEmilyMurphy. Or if you prefer PDF:

The new 2-volume Oxford Handbook of Human Memory will not only teach me everything I need to know, but also get me super strong (with each tome weighing in at 6 lbs!). It’s only Aug 31, so still plenty of time for achieving my summer reading & beach body goals, right? 📖 🧠 💪
