How does uncertainty transmit from one head to another? Our new paper out today in @currentbiology.bsky.social reveals how public communication alters private confidence.

Now in its new dress @elife.bsky.social (convincing & valuable in round 1).
If anyone wants to pick up the method, happy to share & explain!
Tragic. Please pass this along to US Chairs and Deans, and consider it when you sit on promotion committees. This, combined with the review backlog, is dire - especially for our early career researchers.
And yet there are plenty of “legitimate” scientists that voluntarily go on @hubermanlab.com podcast implicitly promoting exactly this grift!
What are cell types good for, computationally? Encoding innate behavior! In this 2-parter, I break down the relationship between cell types—which I had, in years prior, dismissed as mere implementation detail—and computation. I changed my mind!

psychologists/neuroscientists, if you need an antidote for physics-envy disorder, this may help
Broad peer review is crucial for a healthy scientific literature, but neuroscientists turn down review requests too often. Simple math suggests that small groups of scientists can significantly bias the literature, writes @jvoigts.bsky.social.

The Chinese University of Hong Kong is searching for an assistant professor in AI Humanities. Application deadline March 29.
my employer is restricting my access to all 2FA systems until i re-watch videos abt "smishing" (SMS-phishing) & social engineering.
same videos every year. no "test out" option. how much $$ is wasted? $50/hr (avg across provosts, student workers) x 1 hr x 34k faculty/staff = $1.7M wasted annually.
📢New paper out today in @cognitionjournal.bsky.social!
Does the value of an unchosen option — inferred through counterfactual reasoning — spread to related items in memory, similar to how the value of a chosen option — acquired through direct experience — does?
In short, yes!

📢We're thrilled to announce the first-ever #IRCA Conference on #Aphantasia!
Call for abstracts is open, deadline: 17 April 2026

This 3-day interdisciplinary conference aims to consolidate current knowledge and draw a future plan for aphantasia research.
New lab paper in #ScienceAdvances: we identify a modality-common selective-attention signal in noncholinergic #BasalForebrain (BF) “bursting” neurons, distinct from the modality-specific attention signals typically described in corticothalamic circuits. 1/n

A half-century old question may have its final answer. Using high-resolution #Mini2P microscopes, we find no evidence of local topography in #PlaceCells. Place fields of neighbouring cells are no more similar than those of randomly selected cells. 🧠🗺️ Out now in @pnas.org www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
The revised version of our paper on the impact of top-down feedback is now out @elife.bsky.social:
doi.org/10.7554/eLif...
tl;dr: we show that using human-brain-like feedback/anatomy in a deep RNN leads to human-like visual biases!

It meticulously shows that what matters most for cue-reward learning is the duration between rewards: the longer this duration, the fewer the number of trials needed for behavioral and DA learning

In y/n detection tasks, the internal signal and noise distributions have unequal variance. Instead of using d', we should be using dₐ. dₐ is usually estimated from confidence ratings, but this paper shows (in visual tasks) that it's possible to get dₐ from reaction times. Good news!👏 Will surely try
