Are item &order memory separate or intertwined? Thanks @johannahein.bsky.social for positioning this dilemma for us in lab meeting, along with early findings from tasks with reduced item- or order load. We can see why you’re torn between the 2 positions &hope your research can help sort things out!

We’ve submitted our official statement on Switzerland’s 2027 austerity package. Why? Because cutting education and research means cutting our future. SwissRN stands for rigorous, transparent and reproducible science - this needs stable funding, not short-term savings.

Item vs order: a battle for attention? @johannahein.bsky.social shared her research on how attention supports the maintenance of what’s remembered & in what sequence. We’re looking forward to the next series of results! And yes, we’ll be keeping everything in order for the line-up of lab updates 🧠📋

⏳⏰🧠 Tic-toc, it’s research o’clock! In today’s lab meeting, our teammate Ruiheng Zhang shared her latest work on how free time affects working memory. With some early results already on the table, it seems future insights are just a matter of time… we’ll definitely be sticking around for seconds!🧠⏰⏳
