Applying to psych/neuro PhD programs (or postdoc positions) this fall? Excited about studying naturalistic auditory/music perception and communication across the lifespan using behavioral and neuroimaging techniques? Get in touch about joining my new lab! [RTs appreciated!] 😀

Coming to #SfN2019 and interested in attention & vision? Check out the Kastner lab presentations from monkey electrophysiology to human electrocorticography! Ian Fiebelkorn Manoj Eradath Rujia Kacie Dougherty

So proud of my advisor Sabine Kastner and our amazing collaborator Bob Knight on winning the Award for Education in Neuroscience at #SfN19! Really look forward to more scientists joining us in neuroscience outreach activities! Psychology@Princeton Berkeley Neuroscience @Neurosci2019

Kicking off this year's PPPL #SciOnSat series is Psychology@Princeton and Princeton Neuroscience Institute professor Sabine Kastner with a talk entitled “Visual Perception and the Art of the Brain." 🧠 This event is free and open to the public: bit.ly/2umS5ph

I've been scanned at least 30 times, this is my favorite experiment😌

Check out our new review, describing the pulvinar’s (a thalamic nucleus) functional contributions to selective attention, with Sabine Kastner and Manoj Eradath. authors.elsevier.com/c/1bkke3Q9h24L…

Check out our new paper Neuron: Preparatory changes in spiking during the Spike Timing in the Attention Network Predicts Behavioral Outcome Prior to Target Selection (1/4) cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

Check out our new preprint, a collaboration with Amelie Aussel (first author), Sabine Kastner, Nancy Kopell, and Benjamin Pittman-Polleta. A computational model that reproduces observed attentional dynamics and behavioral consequences. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our latest research is now online Nature Communications, link: nature.com/articles/s4146…. This work, led by @YuanningLi and Claire Tang, in collaboration with Junfeng Lu and Dr. Jinsong Wu from Huashan Hospital FuDan University, focuses on understanding the neural basis of linguistic tones. 1/

(belated tweet) Our work w/ Patricia Hoyos and Neuroscience of Attention & Perception Laboratory has been published! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

New paper with Matt Panichello on how the brain controls working memory! We investigate the mechanisms that allow one to select an item from working memory, showing selection originates in prefrontal cortex and acts by enhancing and transforming memories. nature.com/articles/s4158…

New paper with @alexglibby on how the brain represents both sensory inputs and short-term memories without interference! We show how dynamics in the responses of individual neurons rotate sensory information into an orthogonal memory, avoiding interference nature.com/articles/s4159…

I am recruiting a postdoc for human and nhp neurophys, who will also receive optogenetics training from Dr. Farran Briggs. How does the attention network shape moment-to-moment visual sampling through enhancement and suppression? DM if interested. Please RT. Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience

We’ve been excited about this for quite a while so we are absolutely delighted to share our new work out in NEJM, co-led by David Moses, @SeanMetzger5, and Jessie R. Liu! UCSF Neurosurgery Weill Neurohub nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… 🧵1/13

1/5) I'm excited to share our new paper on evolving the olfactory system with machine learning! We show that neural nets trained on a simple olfactory task can quantitatively reproduce almost the entire structure of fruit fly olfactory circuit authors.elsevier.com/a/1dt2F3BtfGzk…

So happy for Sabine :)

Unique ECoG study by Xiaofang Yang reporting on alpha oscillations and HFA (high-freq act) in a spatial attention task. Our study complements what we know from EEG/MEG by providing insight into coupling between alpha phase and HFA within & across regions biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We’re excited about our first paper looking at speech encoding in single neurons across the depth of human cortex. Out today in @nature! nature.com/articles/s4158… [1/6]

While we have learned a lot from MEG/EEG on alpha and gamma modulations by the allocation of spatial attention, much less is known about these effects intracranially ... see our new paper on alpha and gamma/HFA cross-frequency interactions in ECoG data pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
