My fourth thesis paper is out in Psychonomic Bulletin & Review! 🎉 #psynomPBR
Here, we show that learning to prioritize signals of value depends on selective attention 👇🧵

Mental simulation decouples content speed from temporal reference frame, allowing imagined scenes to run in fast-forward without altering spatial outcomes. This dissociation suggests the mind tracks temporal and spatial dynamics as independent variables, distinct from how video playback compresses time.

1/ We discovered something totally unexpected about the neural structure of consciousness that overturns decades of thinking on its biological basis and brings us significantly closer to the recipe for generating conscious awareness.

How can language models help cognitive science? Rui Mata & I outline 5 uses: mapping research fields, formalizing theories, cleaning up constructs & measures, predicting behavior across tasks, and capturing environmental variation.

Overall, our findings suggest that selectively selectively attend reward-predictive features may be necessary to bind them to their outcomes and teach the visual system what to prioritize. This mechanism, however, seems to be partly dissociable from awareness itself.

Psicológica attended the 15th SEPEX & 2nd Joint SEPEX-BAPS Meeting, which took place in Valencia last week (September 9-11th). It was a great opportunity to introduce the journal to the scientific community and publicise our editorial project.
