Category learning drives cortical attentional gain to diagnostic dimensions of perceptual information<p dir="ltr">Humans and other animals develop remarkable perceptual and cognitive specializations for identifying, differentiating, and acting on classes of ecologically important signals. This expertise is flexible enough to support diverse perceptual judgments: a voice, for example, simultaneously conveys what a talker says, as well as myriad cues about her identity and state. Expert perception

Tingting Yin: Sound as a Tool for Focus: Why There Is No One Size-Fits-All Soundtrack for Productivity<p dir="ltr">Many students and workers use background music to stay focused, but evidence for its cognitive benefits remains mixed. This poster presents a within-participant study testing whether different auditory environments (workflow music, classical music, office noise, and silence) shape vigilance performance, mood, arousal, and physiological responses. Fifty-four participants completed the

Exploring the Relationship Between Social Media, Attention, and Distractibility: A Trait-and State-Level Analysis<p><strong>A global rise in concerns surrounding decreasing attention spans and increased distractibility has led to academic, public, and policy-related discourse about whether social media is to be blamed for these perceived deficits. To date, there is little longitudinal research which investigates the relationship between social media use, attention, and distractibility. The aim of my research

Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex Causally Supports the Memory Advantage of Reading Aloud<p dir="ltr">Data accompanying a preregistered, within-participant study examining whether the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) contributes causally to the production effect—the memory advantage of reading aloud over reading silently. Forty adults completed continuous, intermittent, and sham theta-burst stimulation sessions targeting the bilateral DLPFC. Following stimulation, participants s
