Now officially accepted and soon forthcoming in Philosophical Psychology! Williams, Jag, and Ann-Sophie Barwich, "Science as Intuition Pump: Dennett’s Methodological Legacy for Philosophy" Still a little speechless and in disbelief:
In the academic year 2025/26, I am going to be the Mary I. Bunting Institute Fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University. A Presence of Departed Acts: Understanding Multisensory Interference and Working Memory Capacity with Focus on Olfactory Interactions
Working memory is the brain’s mental scratchpad, juggling limited information from our senses. While sight and sound have been studied extensively, smell remains a mystery. Barwich and Bainbridge collaborate to explore how the brain processes odors alongside other senses, using a novel time-locked and precise sniff-EEG protocol developed in Barwich’s lab to track how smells compete or cooperate with visual and auditory inputs. Do they share the same mental space neural resources, or does smell operate independently? This project aims to uncover how this often-overlooked sense integrates into our mental world, offering new insights into the architecture of memory itself. "Milking a spherical cow: Toy models in neuroscience" Randall D. Beer, Ann-Sophie Barwich, Gabriel J. Severino European Journal of Neuroscience Summary
Recent research suggests that the piriform cortex simultaneously represents spatial and olfactory information. These findings may provide further insight into the non-topographic principles of odor coding. "If Proust had Whiskers: Recalling Locations with Smells." Learning & Behavior.
