JoCNForum is officially live. See inaugural editorial by @wmatchin and @postlelab on the JoCNForum website: https://t.co/EQzduJD5zA, where you can also submit your posts and responses. This has been a long labor of love; we hope it will be beneficial to the cog neuro community!

It is essential to science to engage, discuss, critique, and debate. Saying that ideas are wrong, flawed, or can be improved is core to the mission of science to advance human knowledge. If you don't like how these debates play out on this platform, stay tuned for @jocnforum.

Finally, on Mon., 05/20 at 8:30AM in Banyan, I will discuss how a single comparison between memory and perception is both *necessary + sufficient* to produce persistent biases in observers' memory reports. CC: @morganbarense
