🧵New paper PLOS Comp Biol with Dan Bennett, Sam Zorowitz, Val Felso and Yael Niv journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a…

How does previous decision impacts current decision? We find reactivation of past decision repels early sensory processing but attracts late decision-making in PFC, i.e., two-stage past-present interactions. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Big congrats Huihui Zhang Minghao Luo

Super cool work! 🤩

Excited to see the preprint out :)! Super interesting!

My MSc work with Cameron Hassall and Laurence Hunt is finally out! 🥁🧠😎 Participants played a drumming game during EEG recording. We asked whether feedback processing could be observed and whether/how it biases behaviour from trial to trial. (1/4)

Cool work on uncertainty vs. info seek/avoidance!!

Brandon is amazing!! hidden benefit: bottomless boba!!

Exciting new preprint led by Ning Li and Claire Lavalley "Directed exploration is elevated in affective disorders but reduced by an aversive interoceptive state induction" (medrxiv.org/content/10.110…). Uncovers interesting opposing effects of state and trait anxiety. Thread below:

Excited to see this preprint! Congrats Wendy & Anne :)

Congrats Liz! So, so well-deserved!! Phelps Lab
