We would like to congratulate our recent graduate Dr. Russell Milton on winning the 2022 Michael R. Blackburn Outstanding Dissertation Award! His dissertation is entitled "Impact of brain state on visual and prefrontal population coding in behaving animals."

Excited to announce our recent publication in PNASNews entitled "Brain state limits propagation of neural signals in laminar cortical circuits." pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Proud to announce our recent publication in Nature Communications entitled "Adaptive coding across visual features during free-viewing and fixation conditions." Congratulations to Sunny Nigam on his hard work. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Excited to share our new publication in Science Magazine entitled "Suppressing feedback signals to visual cortex abolishes attentional modulation." Credit goes to みつき_ for her exceptional scientific talent and work ethic. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Congratulations to our recent graduate Melissa Franch on winning the Dean's Research Scholarship Award! Melissa spearheaded several new paradigms in our lab and looks forward to a bright future in the field of social neuroscience.
