I am very excited to share our new paper on visual feedback from peripheral to (un-stimulated) foveal cortex: "Partial information transfer from peripheral visual streams to foveal visual streams may be mediated through local primary visual circuits." A 🧵👇 (link below)

New preprint, on prediction in vision – in mice! We've found that visual cortex, even when just viewing natural scenes, predicts *higher-level* visual features The aligns with recent developments in ML, but challenges some assumptions about early sensory cortex

If you work in psychology in an area without Registered Reports, you will see that the main hypotheses in papers are almost always supported. If your peers publish Registered Reports, you will also have access to null results, which should be very common. doi.org/10.1177/251524…

If you are an early career researcher interested in working memory, you have one day to submit your cool research to a global and vibrant community of WM researchers online at WMS2025 (July 8th-11th). If interested, please submit your abstract TODAY (wmsymposium.org)!

Biological reproduction is ubiquitous on Earth, but it’s not the only way. Researchers created artificial cell-like structures that self-reproduce by ejecting polymer spores when exposed to light. In PNAS: ow.ly/tkZb50W2CBC
