Excited to share our new bioRxiv which introduces 𝘾𝙪𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩-𝘽𝙖𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝘿𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 (𝘾𝙐𝙍𝘽𝘿)— an approach for inferring brain-wide interactions using data-constrained recurrent neural network (RNN) models. A thread 👇🏽 (1/8) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Lesson learned: never promote your new article on a Friday night 😉🤦‍♂️

Our writeup of #CCNS , and #TenSimpleRules for designing your own new virtual academic meeting, are published in PLOS Comp Biol!

My 2nd PhD preprint is now out: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. We found that different GABAergic neuron classes in CA3 & DG bidirectionally modulate internal and external drive measured in CA1. #tweeprint below! 1/11

Border ownership & objectness are enigmas visual cortex bcos inferring those need
* higher-order contours
* interplay of bottom-up, top-down and lateral evidence
* occlusion reasoning
* contour and surface fill-in
* multi-stability

This the tweeprint server will look at major findings/conclusions from a 2020 study that analyzed the effects of training with both direct and indirect stimulus-response compatibility (SRC) in novice combat sport athletes. It was hypothesized that the direct group would have faster RTs.

Our new preprint 'Direct perception of other people’s heart rate' is now out in PsyArxiv. With James Kilner, we found that others’ physiological dynamics, which have been thought of as hidden,can be inferred via visual perception of their faces > bit.ly/35Y8CRq. Thread⬇️

Glad to share my PhD paper that addressed how mate searching behaviour (MSB) influenced predator-prey space race in tree crickets and their predators, green lynx spiders!

Out in Royal Society Publishing today!

I'm excited to share our findings on how place cells are altered after moderate exposure to alcohol during prenatal development.

📣📣 Rapid changes in movement representations during human reaching could be preserved in memory for at least 850ms eneuro.org/content/early/…

I am really excited to share the final paper from my postdoc with Daniel Dombeck (not on Twitter). In this study we ask whether medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) is necessary for normal learning in an explicit interval timing task. Thread 1/ cell.com/cell-reports/f…

What is the diversity of behaviors induced by drugs…and how can machine learning help capture this diversity and identify underlying mechanisms? Check out our latest mapping the structure of pharmacobehavioral space here: go.nature.com/3iRs0TO

Why are we so proud of this work? The #tweeprint version:

We know that neuromodulatory devices delivering neurostimulation are effective epilepsy treatments. But exactly WHY these devices work remains mysterious, and is thus a perfect subject for computational research. (1/n)

Have you ever wondered what strategies the brain uses to keep track of events we need to remember as well as the timing between them? My paper, showing my main work in the Peyman Golshani lab just came out in Neuron and tackles this topic: cell.com/neuron/pdf/S08…

🥳 Our paper is out today in Neuron!

New & improved. Details include how 2 record & stimulate deep 🧠 activity in humans during freely moving behaviors (🚶🏻‍♀️🕺🏻🚴🏾‍♂️). More studies with this to come out soon!

So proud of this epic Neuron paper by Jiannis Taxidis and others in our lab on the emergence of hippocampal sequential firing during the learning of an olfactory working memory task! cell.com/neuron/pdf/S08…

New preprint with Hyowon (Hyo) Gweon! 🥳

My training is in cog dev/probabilistic models. But I’ve spent years wondering about RL—what it’s taught us about the neural basis of social learning, what it’s missed, and what could be gained by bridging the two. 1/3

I am excited to share our new paper with Hrag Pailian, Ph.D., Sam Gershman and Jan Drugowitsch studying the use of hierarchically structured priors in human visual motion perception: pnas.org/content/early/… 1/

New motivation-control paper alert from CCP Lab WUSTL! Spearheaded by the illustrious Jenny Crawford, we present a two-experiment study comparing the effects of *dynamic* and *static* social and liquid incentives on motivated cognitive task performance. 1/

Ever made a decision, then changed course afterwards? What kinds of signals in the brain support the ability to “reflect” on a decision? We explored this in our recent paper with Torben Ott Armin Lak ratcortex Kepecs Lab Washington U. Med Cold Spring Harbor Lab cell.com/cell/fulltext/… 1/7

Very excited to share our new preprint: “An associative learning account of sensorimotor adaptation”, with the amazing Jordan Taylor, Rich Ivry Ivry Laboratories, and the one and only Sam McDougle who came up with the original idea for the project.
