Signal Suppression 1.0 was a big part of my grad school journey—shaping how I think about attention. I never imagined I’d one day contribute to the development of the 2.0 version of the theory. Grateful to be part of this new chapter 🍾
Excited this review paper is out! We update the signal suppression account to explain recent findings related to attention capture by salient stimuli. We also propose new mechanisms of learned attentional control. Written with Steve Luck and @xiaojinma.bsky.social

I recorded a step-by-step tutorial of programming experiments in PsychoPy for undergrad thesis students in my lab. Sharing it here for anyone new to programming in psychology, or those transitioning to PsychoPy from other software. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMJX...
