#11 In the name of all authors, a big thank you to the reviewers & editors, @NIMHgov & @NIH, and everyone who gave feedback! On a personal note, I started my lab @VUamsterdam and will be hiring - Interested in #Multitask studies rethinking vision, memory & imagery? Please apply!
The Sprague Lab has a job opening for a Junior Specialist to help with ongoing projects in the lab. Full ad here: recruit.ap.ucsb.edu/JPF02276 Read more about our work at spraguelab.psych.ucsb.edu Review begins OCT 15, 2022
Important update on the much debated recent study using fMRI/MRI data: It is **not about fMRI** as quoted by one of the senior authors.

New preprint from the lab from grad student Kelvin Vu-Cheung and collaborator Eddie Ester @ee0112 showing that task-irrelevant interrupting stimuli leave spatial WM representations intact despite evoking strong transient BOLD responses biorxiv.org/content/10.110… @SpragueLabUCSB
this is now published at Neuron @NeuroCellPress (free access here: authors.elsevier.com/c/1dl7g_KOmxI~…) - culmination of 5+ yrs of hard work on a really fun @NatEyeInstitute -funded project with @hsinhungli @aspen__yoo @weijima01 and twitterless Clay Curtis

new paper with @hsinhungli, Aspen Yoo, @weijima01 & Clay Curtis: the same neural populations in retinotopic cortex represent visual WM information AND uncertainty about that information. this is consistent with theories of probabilistic population codes biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
new paper from my postdoc work: we found that an attended distractor during spatial WM transiently disrupts neural WM representations, but they recover. importantly, the distractor induced a neural bias in visual, but not parietal, cortex, which predicted behavior recall errors

Come join us at UC Santa Barbara - lots of cool labs (including ours!), beautiful setting, but most importantly - amazing colleagues! Don't hesitate to get in touch if you'd like to discuss opportunities (spraguelab.psych.ucsb.edu)
[job ad, pls share] I'm looking to hire a postdoc and a PhD student for my new lab in Berlin starting January 2021. We'll be using behavioural and neuroimaging methods to find out how working memory is stored in the human brain. Info and contacts at thomaschristophel.com/team.html 1/2
Martin's lab is a lot of fun, highly recommended!
The ERC project “How visual actions shape active vision” pushes the idea that it takes scrutinizing visual behavior to understand vision. To help shape this project, apply now for Postdoc and PhD positions in our lab @HumboldtUni Berlin. RT the word! rolfslab.org/2020/06/28/erc…
because the site is struggling, I wanted to post my lab's posters - Kelvin Lam is presenting on WM for real-world objects today (noon & 3, pacifc), and Daniel Thayer on reconstructing feature-selective priority maps with fMRI tomorrow (noon & 3) - msg me for zoom links #VSS2020
I recently had the fun opportunity to be interviewed on @csuci 's radio show. Give the podcast a listen if you'd like to hear about sciencing during a pandemic, drugs and the brain, and my new project generously funded by @BBRFoundation ! soundcloud.com/user-873816943…
