Please join us in Moore Filene Auditorium on Thursday, May 9, 2024, starting at 1:05 p.m., for a colloquium given by Kia Nobre, Wu Tsai Professor of Psychology at Yale University. 

Title:  The Internal Focus of Attention 

Abstract:  In my talk, I will discuss our recent studies exploring how we focus attention to contents in working memory. Our findings highlight the flexibility of the internal focus – dynamically and proactively prioritizing or shielding different contents in turn to guide future behavior – as well as its sensitivity to the temporal structure of anticipated events and tasks. 

Coffee, tea, and cider donuts will be available a few minutes before and after the talk in the foyer space outside of Moore Filene Auditorium.
