AWMCC Interest Group
The Attention, Working memory, & Cognitive Control (AWMCC) interest group is an online journal club organized by myself in July 2022. We now have 34 group members working in this field using psychological, neuroscience, or computational methods. Members (sometimes invited speakers) will present recent influential papers or their own work on a weekly basis (in Chinese).
