📢'The World Is Your Oyster' is for those who are born in global north countries--don't experience visa bureaucracy & emotional burden that non-white global south scholars do. Citizenship is a privilege that we need to recognize in the academe. 1/n

Urgent call to the American public and neuroscience advocates to lobby hard against the 40% cut in NIH Brain Initiative Funding. Spread the word and get active! Parkinson and Alzheimer’s as well as neurodegeneration diseases will be dramatically affected.
From the Director:

“…more than just ‘protest’, which implies that we academics lack the power to change the publication system directly.” Such change can be achieved, Smith says, by “starting new journals that are open, not-for-profit, and have high academic standards”.

On #WorldParkinsonsDay , I'm so grateful for the opportunity to study non-motor motivation deficits. Truly incredible to remotely recording neural activity from brain implants, but the most joyful part is working with an amazing, kind, and generous set of people with #Parkinsons !

May conceptual clarity be with you!

This is sickening!! Israeli whistleblowers say Hamas targets, chosen by AI and “rubber stamped” by humans, were explicitly targeted when they go home to their families, with 15-20 or even 100 civilian casualties acceptable for one target.

This nightmare must end! #CeasefireNOW

Do you think about dopamine ramps? If so, we hope that this story would be interesting to you and demonstrate that an underappreciated experimental variable has a strong influence on when they appear in a task. Work led by Joey Floeder and helped by Huijeong Jeong Ali Mohebi

Defining what it means to the brain to 'represent' information is a critical issue. From the tweeprint, this definition will be more narrow than I prefer, but this type of clear thinking/writing will undoubtedly help advance the field!

Deadline for COB-KIBM Scholars Program extended to April 1st!

Major kudos to Andrew Moses Lee & ChangLabUCSF for their groundbreaking work on anxiety's neural representation in the insular cortex! 🧠⚡️

This is a very important set of issues. Even assuming we solve the current (big!) issues with errors and bias in AI, it won't solve all our problems in science. We need to avoid being awed by the ✨shiny-ness✨ of this tech and be clear eyed about its potential uses and misuses!

My lab is looking for a new lab manager/research assistant! research-princeton.icims.com/jobs/18605/res…
We are especially interested in computationally-oriented people who want to understand learning behavior & are thinking of grad school in the future (though ideally this is a two year job). /1

Dear colleagues,

On December 10th, 2023, a new elected government came to office, headed by President Javier Milei. At a certain point of the electoral campaign, Mr. Milei vowed to close the Ministry of Science and Technology and shut down and privatize Argentina’s National…

New paper in Cell w/ Caroline I Jahn on how the brain learns to control attention in a changing environment! Attention is learned incrementally from reward, and it maps stimuli into a generalized value space to guide decisions in many settings. 🧵cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
