Congratulations Michael Shadlen of Columbia Vagelos College of Physicians & Surgeons, newly inducted #NASmember ! #NAS161 #neuroscience

To everyone who has been shocked and depressed by the staggering 40% cut to the BRAIN Initiative: we have a voice!

Outside Witness Testimony (aka written testimony) for the FY 2025 appropriations cycle is ongoing. Deadline for the House side is Friday May 3 and the Senate side

Excited to announce I'll be joining the University of Miami Psychology Dept. UMiami-Psychology as an asst. professor in Jan '25!

My lab will study working memory, cognition, and PFC functional architecture using precision neuroimaging. Stay tuned for recruiting news and more!

As some of you are well aware, the BRAIN Initiative funding was cut by 40% (braininitiative.nih.gov/news-events/bl…). “This is truly awful, This large cut to the BRAIN Initiative is, simply put, going to kill jobs and hurt patients over the next 10-20 years.” – Kip Ludwig, PhD

Research from the University of Pittsburgh Neural Engineering using BCIs reveals how learning new behaviors leaves a 'memory trace' in the primary motor cortex, enabling joint learning without interference.

Today we’ve lost a giant and a visionary: Prof. Daniel Kahneman has passed at the age of 90. The Princeton SPIA community shares our condolences with his family and all who knew him, learned from him, and loved him. bit.ly/4cy0arM

Network neuroscience, do we have a problem?

It looks like it, worth a close look.
And it might be affecting >3000 papers 😱

I am very saddened to learn of the passing of Peter Schiller. Peter was a great scientist. He took me under his wing when I started at MIT. I'll never forget him. Miss you, Peter.

Our new book is finally out! A hands-on exploration of data science for neuroimaging, based on our experience teaching Neurohackademy, with plenty of examples using Python software tools and open data.

Circular analyses and redundant explanations signal progress but lead to stagnation.

This is a big but neglected problem in systems and network neuroscience.

Solutions to this problem have essentially the same structure as randomized controlled trials.

All those attending SfN: Stop by our symposium tomorrow at 2. Common mechanisms of learning at motor and cognitive systems.
Sunday November 12, 2pm - 4:30pm
Location: WCC 151

Tomorrow I will be presenting a free webinar on ChatGPT in academic publishing, broadcast live from my regularly scheduled Biomedical Computation lecture in Featheringill Hall. The convergence of research and education has reached apocalyptic levels… join us!
