“If it’s not an instinct but something that they think of individually, it’s even more remarkable.” Dartmouth Psychological and Brain Sciences professor Peter Tse discusses the incredible ways octopuses defend themselves from much bigger eel foes, via The New York Times. ⤵️ nytimes.com/2024/05/17/sci…

My lab’s latest, led by the brilliant (and soon-to-be graduating) Hung-Tu Chen: an intriguing connection between paradoxical replay, splitter cells, and the nature of task representations in neural networks. See below for explainer 🧵!

Can't wait to see everyone VSS Meeting and to share these exciting new projects in the lab! -

Looking forward to seeing everyone VSS Meeting ! Come see what our lab has been up to over this past year:

What happens in our brains when we come to consensus?

As the 2023-24 academic job cycle winds down, I have once again (and for perhaps the last time) scraped the psych job wiki. This year 860 tenure-track jobs were posted, down slightly from last year (897), but still the second-highest number on record.

Prosopometamorphopsia is sometimes referred to as “demon face syndrome.” When Maggie McCart got in touch with Dartmouth Psychological and Brain Sciences professor Brad Duchaine, he helped her realize that she wasn't alone in dealing with the rare ailment, via Luke Winkie Slate ⤵️ bit.ly/3ycZ9FU

Congratulations to our @Dartmouth WISP (Women In Science Project) intern Katherine (Kathy) Jia '27 for winning Runner Up at this year's M.A.D. (Made At Dartmouth) Research Video Contest with this submission on her work with Landry Bulls in SCRAP Lab: youtu.be/eXo2GTgV554?si…

We talk to share how we see the world. Here, we show that natural consensus-building conversation leads to future neural synchrony.

Deeply satisfying to see this in print. With Chris Welker , Hasson Lab , Adam M. Kleinbaum , and Thalia Wheatley

I'm deeply honored to receive one of this year's CogSci Society Glushko Dissertation Prizes.

While I'm still in a state of disbelief about the award, what I can say in no uncertain terms, is that developing these ideas with Rebecca Saxe has been immensely formative and rewarding.
