I... I just got called a boomer on the feedback form of my own experiment by an angry millennial... sunbaenim.

Imagining a V LIVE but for researchers kind of platform, where ppl interact with comments about research & life. Instead of hearts there're v(irtual) citations, and there's membership option so you get to buy coffee/bagel for labs.... I should prob stop watching now.

Seeing others' DAT score makes me wonder why a lot of people (or at least the ones tweeting) seem to come up with more concrete objects or experiences (e.g. emotion) than abstract concepts, and whether this aspect has any connection to the creativity measures...

Today's mid autumn festival, which families are supposed to reunite to celebrate, and I just got news that I might not be able to go back home for at least another year. 21-day quarantine on one side and unknown visa situation on the other. I'm so tired.

Decision making in the wild may be choosing which poster to read based on multidimensional signals including the perceived gender and race of the presenter and the spectators, while decision making in the lab be like "bet a dollar, pull a lever".

Super fun work with Ji-An Li How can two very different models designed with “irrelevant” objectives converge on a key mechanism, which happen to be core to human episodic memory?

Major update to Jacob Bakermans's compositional state space model biorxiv.org/content/10.110… In particular, a cool analysis (Figs 5, 6) showing landmark cells are built in replay. Exactly as predicted in version 1, replay is laying down compositional maps for future behaviour.

on twitter because I've got no nice natural scenery to bestow me with enough willpower for the rebuttal

Reviewer refuses to recommend acceptance because the rule forbids us from updating our manuscript at this point in the process. I'm done. I've seen enough.

I will be recruiting 💫two PhD students💫 for my new lab! (computational learning & memory applied to individual & interactive behavior, rouhanilab.com). Feel free to e-mail if interested and catch me at SfN! (poster 06 at 1 PM on Wed 10/09)

Preprint for "Consolidation of Sequential Planning" with Evan Russek and Neil Burgess. We demonstrate the neural representations supporting sequential planning and the effect of memory consolidation upon them: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…. As talk, see also: youtube.com/watch?v=0QcNtz…
