After 5 years of data collection, our WARN-D machine learning competition to forecast depression onset is now LIVE! We hope many of you will participate—we have incredibly rich data.

If you share a single thing of my lab this year, please make it this competition.

Serial Dependence During Visuomotor Integration is Robust to the Passage of Time and Interference from Intervening Tasks When intercepting a moving target, responses are systematically biased toward the time of impact from the previous trial. This phenomenon, known as serial dependence, relies on a memory mechanism that...

This may be because interceptive tasks use multiple stimulus features simultaneously - that redundancy may protect the bias from disruption.

You can also find the preprint here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Our findings suggest that serial dependence in visuomotor tasks relies on stable, long-lasting memory traces. The effect is robust to time delays and task switching.

Interestingly, temporal reproductions from intervening tasks did have a subtle influence on responses, even though they didn't eliminate serial dependence. This suggests that temporal processing might share some neural resources, but the core bias is protected from interference.

We also tested whether doing different tasks between main trials would disrupt the serial bias (temporal reproduction, speed judgments, and orientation tasks). None of them worked. The effect persisted regardless.

We had already shown that this bias persists even with very long intertrial intervals in an earlier study (up to 8 seconds!). It's surprisingly robust. We had two main questions in this study. The first was to replicate (partially) our previous finding and look at different short ITIs, too.

Serial dependence has been studied extensively, but mostly in explicit tasks in which people have to remember and reproduce information. We looked at it in a visuomotor task instead: when people try to intercept moving targets, they are biased by the timing of the previous target.

We (@esasirius.bsky.social @raymundo-pardal.bsky.social and myself) just published a study on serial dependence during target interception. link.springer.com/article/10.3...

🚨Friends, we’re happy to share that our book is available for pre-order! 🎉
We aimed to cover all the foundations of the topic in an accessible manner for a large audience.
It could help set up a bachelor-level curriculum on the topic.
Pre-orders are very key for the fate of books: shorturl.at/Dxbif

Really happy this is finally out (psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-...). A lot of work (4 experiments!!!) by @alexandrenobre.bsky.social ! #neuroskyence

This looks like a really nice proposal. Looking forward to reading it.

POSTDOC Opening: I'm hiring a postdoc to work with me, @ayeletlandau.bsky.social, and Yuval Benjamini on a 4-year NSF funded project to understand timing and memorability in the visual system. fMRI, EEG, eye-tracking all included.

If interested, please DM or email me for more information!

Any tips for a good lab management tools? We tried Trello and Notion, but in both cases we stopped after a couple of weeks. Extra points if free. #AcademicSky

Modern theories of emotion (especially “interoceptive inference”) often cite William James as a key inspiration. But what did James actually say about emotion, and is it supported by the data? Here’s a brief look at the core arguments and classic evidence. 🧵

Please feel free to share these opportunities with anyone who might be interested. I don’t have any formal relationship with FAPESP (just some funding from them), but I’d be happy to talk with anyone who is curious or thinking about applying and help however I can.

FAPESP recently announced two new calls to attract international researchers to São Paulo. Both opportunities include grant funding and scholarships, and could be interesting depending on career stage and plans. #neuroskyence #AcademicSky

Hello Bluesky!
Our students are running a short survey on interoception, ADHD, and autism. If you’ve got a few minutes, they’d be so grateful if you could take part — and help spread the word!

Thanks!

I am pretty sure @alexandrenobre.bsky.social looked at it, but I don't think we did formal testing on it. Do you have an idea of what's going on?

I was positive it was something about action improving learning, but, in general, sequential effects did not change much with/without action.

Why does this happen? We are not sure yet, but it seems that action somehow modulates how we estimate the probability of occurrence of events. (7/7)

Interestingly, this effect only showed up when FPs varied within a block. When FPs stayed constant, the difference vanished! This suggests that voluntary actions interact with uncertainty in temporal preparation. (6/7)
