🌟 We’re delighted to announce Dr Sage Boettcher (@ox.ac.uk) as the Rising Star: Early Group Leader winner at the #WiNUKAwards2025!

Sage leads the Dynamic Cognition Lab, studying how attention and memory interact to guide behaviour. A dedicated mentor, teacher, and advocate for inclusive science.

Our goal is to make this resource as useful as possible, so please do get in touch with feedback, questions and comments!

☁️ Thinking of moving your VR experiments online but not sure where to start? ☁️

We’ve put together a tutorial sharing what we’ve learned, including code and step-by-step practical notebooks.

Neural Dynamics of Reselecting Visual and Motor Contents in Working Memory after External Interference In everyday tasks, we must often shift our focus away from internal representations held in working memory to engage with perceptual events in the external world. Here, we investigated how our interna...

📢 New paper out in JoN [@sfnjournals.bsky.social]! With Larissa, Freek [@freekvanede.bsky.social], Kia [@brognition.bsky.social] and Sage [@dynacog-lab.bsky.social], we ask which and when WM contents get reselected after an interrupting external-attention task. 🧵 below (1|9) doi.org/10.1523/JNEU...

A big day deserves some big balloons! @levikumle.bsky.social and Dejan (and @melissavo.bsky.social from afar!) are celebrating 500 citations on their paper 'Estimating power in (generalized) linear mixed models: An open introduction and tutorial in R' today - link.springer.com/article/10.3...

We are very sad that our visiting student and friend Michelle is leaving us this week 🥲 Michelle made clay versions of us all for our final lab meeting together (can you guess who is who ?!) We will miss her very much!!! Thank you for sharing the delights of power analysis with us Michelle🔌

Attention was paid and memories were made at the wonderful lab retreat in Oxford this week with @brognition.bsky.social and @dynacog-lab.bsky.social - serious punting, tasty BBQs, great conversations, and even better company 😀🧠

First post on Bluesky! Check out our new paper (w/ @abclab.bsky.social @brognition.bsky.social) in Nature Communications @natcomms.bsky.social (featured in Editors' Highlights🌟)!

We investigated how attention operates differently within WM and LTM:

Feature-temporal predictions dynamically modulate performance, feature-based attentional capture, and motor response activity during visual search Recent research has investigated visual search in dynamic environments and considered how temporal predictions modulate behaviour over time. Spatiotemporal predictions have been shown to adaptively gu...

🎉 Excited to share the first preprint from my PhD research!

Huge thank yous to Sage Boettcher (@dynacog-lab.bsky.social) and Kia Nobre (@brognition.bsky.social) and everyone else that supported this work!

Long-term memory facilitates spontaneous memory usage through multiple pathways Many natural behaviors require the flexible coordination of sampling sensory information from the external environment and the use of information from memory. Kumle et al. show that long-term memory s...

Newest from the lab out now! ☀️

We explored how long-term memory contributes to naturalistic memory-guided behaviour – not because we have to, but because we choose to.

Forum article out now in Trends in Cognitive Science 🙂

We highlight 'sensorimnemonic decisions' as a key process that determines whether and when we use memory in coordination with sensory sampling to guide natural, free-flowing behaviour.
